Thanks ChrisGood idea for the theme, slight nit-pick is that the monitors look a bit floaty to me but nicely lit with good details.
Ahhh yes it is, behind the scenes secrets outBlimey ... that's how it's done. Keep at it you multi taskers.
Cool - Cheers DavidHey DK ... all fits the frame, all kind of minimal, all good result.
Hey'sup
Hmmmm never even thought of that mate, nice idea but too lateRoutine, great POV, symmetry and detail.
If you could have got blurred movement in your hands that would have been super.
DAMN mate... its a MUST, LightRoom takes full advantage of it, close in editing on one screen and can have the full image on the other seeing what the changes do to the whole pic, I would be without two nowTwo monitors, hmmm, might investigate
Cheers.
Thank you DavidRoutine of sorting out spreadsheets and updating, clever take on theme and like the two screens
Cheers NickWhole - A peaceful, subdued scene, it looks like wall art
Thanks again Nick, I was hoping it wasn't too false lookingStructure - In conrast to the previous shot, love the vibrant colours and the way you've brought them out aginst the rest of the scene
Thanks Nick... not the quickest of ways of doing it, but very effective for meRoutine - Very effective processing - I was wondering how you got such a black BG
Hmmm now that sounds deep ... Thank you Allanits a good POV well done for getting it must have been difficult, it reminds me of something, a bit 1984 the novel not the year maybe something authoritarian
Hey MarkHi Dean
Ahhh cool would like to see your shot... sounds a good plan to visit when the light is a tad better, wish I had a crystal ball for thatGreat image for Structure (funnily enough I have a similar one!) defiantly need a return visit in the better weather. There were some great structures there.
Thanks again David, I wish I had thought of itRoutine - Great take on the theme love the PoV I agree with Andy if your fingers had been slightly blurred then it would have added that extra but to the image.
Thank you Domwhole - really peaceful, almost looks like a painting. colours feel all washed out, but that adds to the feels
Thanks... I will take that as a complimentstructure - nice colours, looks almost superimposed the way you've edited it together, so vibrant!
Thank you again... and yes it was a tad of a pain to set up, but hey the 52 for youroutine - now we know how it feels i like the distinct separation of the monitors and the hands/keyboard against black background. must have been quite hard to frame and take?!
Cheers TimHaha Dean, very good.
Works well for the theme. As others have already said, you've got symmetry, you've got a strong black background and it does tell a story.
Thank you - I wish mine was that clutter free tooif only my desk were so clutter free! full marks for use of tripod, timer, and getting into position. i like this a lot.
Hahaaaa yes that would have been coolWith such a black background I might have been tempted to remove your sleeves just leaving a pair of hands like Thing on Addams Family for a little fun.
Thank you Susie and as for Blackness, hell yes if not I like it anywayLove the angle DK and all that blackness ...is that a word ?? anyway I think it looks great.
Awwwwe thank you Susie, not a bind, but much easier when on my PC, Google sheets are sometimes a pain in the rear on my laptopThanks for keeping up the spreadsheet ... it must be a bind at times so well done to you
Thank you Em, on both lots of feedbackThanks for the background info on bringing out the colour in your structure shot - it works really well. I would never think of doing something like that. I really like routine as well - something slightly surreal about it on all that black. Very creative!
Haaaa thanks Paulhaha keep up the sterling work Nice set up too.
Ohhh yes, no shoehorn to be seen hereWell it certainly is a Routine
Cheers much so JillLove the pov and all the blackness too. As Emma says, very creative
Thanks DaveNumber is a lovely shot Dean, like the smoke coming in and a great pose from Cathy
Ahhhhh, well... Cathy is just about to start a 'Dance Number'I thought the above young lady was your attractive shot, what has numbers got to do with it.
Ahhhhh, well... Cathy is just about to start a 'Dance Number'
...yeah yeah..that's obvious...but let's get onto her number.
Thank you Allan...I think so too, but thought better of just doing oneBoth nice images but the first one for me could work for both themes its a great photo
Thank you BerndBoth very nice images and each fitting for the theme. Nothing to criticise!
Thank you ChrisGreat photos and fine models. I wouldn't no where to start with studio/portrait type of work.
Thank you Dave, agreed, she was great to work withAttractive, and yes Jess is lovely. I like this one a lot, as Jess is in a great pose, lovely eyes and like the shadow and paint peeling off the walls
Thank you MarkFirst pic is fine for both foe me too Dean.
I like the model and the background in the second,I just feel the lighting OCF (?) is a little harsh and maybe not mounted quite high enough, as the bottom of the dress is quite dark....
Hahaaa yes thank you David, I am trying to broaden my abilities, it was a great day and plan to do much more of this type of imageHey DK ... Have you broken out into a whole new style? Excellent, kept them coming.
#2 ("attractive") .... class act.
Ooo Thank you EmOoh - both really attention grabbing shots. Love the styling and bg in the first and the shadow works brilliantly in the second
Thank you Steve... yes I see what you mean, that would have been cool to get, maybe I can PP some shadow in that pane - AND lighten the bottom of the dress that I also didn't spotGreat work for both shots. The numbers one edges it for me, the smoky background, lighting, pose and space in the shot all work very well. The second shot is very good but not quite up to the first for me, the shadow of her face gets a little lost on the window which is a shame.
Thank you indeedGreat shot, the thing i absolutely love about this is how the shadow interacts with the wall. Brilliant work.
Thank you TimHey DK.
Numbers - Stunning shot DK, nicely framed by the smoke, sharp, perfect colour.
Thanks againAttractive - Great counterpoint of the beautiful Jess against the run down background.
Both are excellent shots
Cool, thank you Susie, I enjoyed doing these a lot, made a nice changeTwo very eye catching shots DK ...both beautifully posed in great settings but I think image #1 just has the slight edge for me
It certainly is MarkIts amazing what LR can save these days isnt it ?
YupWell the raw file is definitely dark and it certainly shows what can be recovered
It is Tim yesIs that your 5d4 DK?
Certainly not an award winning shot no but that wasn't the idea as you know, it does make me now think, that I will have to check images out a bit more now before I delete themThe recovery is pretty good isn't it. It's not going to win awards, but if the shot was a once in a lifetime event, and the settings happened to be wrong, then it's brilliant to know what can be recovered.
Thank you Tim The 5d3 was okay for recovery but nowhere near as this in my opinion, I did some high 32,000 iso shots as well, and detail was recoverable in them tooI don't think my 5d3 is anywhere near that.
Works perfectly for the theme.
Thank you David, yes it is good to do something different for sureAlways good to do something different DK, and this is an interesting experiment with amazing results.
