The youngest fan at the Houston Texans home opener football game enjoyed the opening kickoff from the safety of her father's shoulders.I shot this in available light with a Canon 5D Mark II full frame camera, using a 24-105 mm f/4.0L IS USM telephoto lens racked out to 105 mm, stopped down to f/8.0, at ISO 800, and exposed for 1/25 second, handheld (using Image Stabilization).
In Photoshop CS4 I did tonal adjustments, selective skin blur, selective brightening of the eyes (using screen blend mode), selective high pass sharpening on her eyes, mouth, and hair, a black and white conversion, and a 13% black vignette.
Her Mom in the lower foreground did her hair up fancy, so she'd look pretty for the big game.
