Boot lace by vikdaddy

Boot lace

Now that was a good night! I had great fun last night with some work colleagues, and got pretty drunk. I took a few photos but my friend from work has my little camera in her handbag! I'll post it on Monday, when I should get it back. Today, I took another photo of my trusty boots that have really had their day.

For this shot I used my 50mm prime lens at its highest aperture, and turned the flash to the left and bounced it off the wall to get the light on one side. In post-processing I increased the clarity and contrast and added a strong vignette.

What is it about being unable to dispose of your favourite footwear? My boots' stitching is coming undone, the soles are shot to smithereens and the laces are awful. I still wear them all the time and I love them, but they do need replacing. Maybe I'm just tight!

Canon 7D, f/1.8, 1/200, ISO-100
Love this shot. Nothing can beat a good pair of comfy footwear and buying something new is never the same.

I'm the same with my UGGs! They're soooo worn in and I have loads of shoes but I'll still wear them :)

I like the rawness of this picture, color tones, and texture of the boot. Great job for being slightly impaired...:)
