Graham Binns posted a photo:

Three-hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 20

A pastiche of Rebekka's famous photo 'Eve'.

Took me a while to get this shot; after much playing about I realised that I'd have to use the flashgun and a narrow aperture.

It'll do; I just wish I'd bumped the ISO level down. I did tweak the curves and saturation slightly with the Gimp, but didn't do anything else.

And I know that's not a proper cricket ball. It's a practice ball I use when I'm practising leg breaks in the garden.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
