I was trying to come up with something smart to say about my HNT, a clever title, but I’m lacking the inspiration tonight. So I’ll just go with the straight, boring facts: this picture was inspired by this one, posted on Vixen’s blog a while back. I liked the idea and showed it to BT, who also thought it was cool. Monday night, we had a bit of time together (I call it training *evil grin*) and I took advantage of it to get him to take these pictures.

I always Photoshop my pictures. However, I don’t “cheat”. I mean, I don’t “fix” myself. Except for my tattoo: that I always remove if it’s showing. I use Photoshop first to crop the picture, then to enhance the image by adjusting the contrast, tweeking the colors, etc. I often add a kind of grainy effect, just because I really like it. This time, I played around a bit. I decided I wanted the background a bit more blurred, because I don’t want the place to be TOO recognizable. So I separated my body from the background, blurred the latter, added contrast and toned down the colors. For my body, I played with the contrast and brightness a little and desaturated the colors just a bit.

Perhaps the Photoshopping isn’t in the spirit of HNT, I don’t really know. But the truth is, I LIKE doing that kind of stuff, and so I do it.

Oh, and I just realized that I totally forgot this week was Olympics theme HNT. Damn!

Oh well, this is all I’ve got. Happy HNT
