Day 110 - old leather

Another aspect of my photography that I wanted to develop this year is being able to pre-visualise the shot.  In this case I knew exactly what I was hoping to achieve with a toned, low key picture of an old much-loved shoe.  First, some soft but directional light with the Lumiquest Softbox III, then some post work with a sepia tint and different levels of Gaussian blur, all as layers with varying levels of opacity over a sharpened up original.
