Trevor, also known affectionately as Kiwi Trev, registered on the DPNow forum and galleries as ddigit, makes a long overdue return to the Digital Photography Now Picture of the Day. Trevor must be one of our most distant regulars as he lives in New Zealand. The impressive looking figure the picture above is a participant dressed up for the traditional annual 'black powder' shoot that is held on the west coast of the New Zealand's South Island.The slightly desaturated post-processing combines well with the deep shadows. Detail exudes from all over the image, and the subject's look of detached determination underlines the overall strength of this portrait. Trevor uses a Nikon D80.

The DPNow Golden Gallery
Our ultimate accolade, the DPNow Golden Gallery, is reserved for what we feel are the very finest images. We invite anyone to submit their pictures for inclusion in the Golden Gallery. Why not have a look at the Golden Gallery submission form? The vast majority are usually rejected, which is why we feel that the ones we do feature are extra special.
