Victoria Steam Expo

This past weekend Craigdarroch Castle hosted the Victoria Steam Expo II. For reasons I wont go into I didn't attend, but my friend Andrew went and got all dressed up for it. He bought a Pauldron from Ian at Skin-n-Hydz a little wile ago and put it on for the Con, and so I could get a picture of it.

The HDR took a bit of work, as it wanted to give Andrew's face a coal-miner's look. I used a layer mask and brought out his cleaner face look. The second image (below) gives you a look at the original 0EV exposure before any processing, so you can see the differences.
