Camera magic

My camera did it. Really!

I was a bit surprised when this photo emerged from my camera. The image as you see it is exactly as it came out of the camera, no post-processing. And yet, the background has an almost black & white look to it. Hmmm... I wonder if I'll be able to create another image like this one.

There wasn't anything special about the camera settings, but I did shoot through a neutral density filter. I wonder...

Well, no matter, I like the shot. And yes, I will probably try to produce the same effect given a similar image jumping out at me.
