About	Finally found something decent to shoot for Project 1 .. a real goofy, organic looking cactus in my neighbor\'s yard. I shot fairly close, then used Paint Shop Pro to convert to greyscale, adjust the levels, then crop out some interesting parts of the images. The grainy appearance is the way the cactus skin actually looks up close. I didn\'t do anything at all with the camera or in the post processing to produce that effect.

Thanks, Russ, for the comment. I was about arm's length from the cactus. Attached is one of the original images.

Russ,

In the words of Arte Johnson, "Very Interesting!" I like the folds of the cactus and how the shadows fall in those folds. When I first looked at this I thought it was leather. Good tones and detail. How far from the cactus were you?
Later my friend,

Another Russ
