girlfriends? or girlfriend's?



Thierry

That's an amazingly interesting shot. How do you manage it? Such beautifu, clear sky. A goal post that is leaning out of the picture. Lovely green foliage, albeit with a few blown highlights, and a solid base of green grass. How do you do it?

The shot of the year.

Strange ......:+}
Although I find the picture "nice" I do not find it something to right a so many comments about??
Where is the other Goal post for heaven sake...:+}
By the way there are 2 Big dust blobs in the sky...:+} Nice shot.
Snook
Had to edit this as some guys (Woof Woof) have not humor today.....:+]
It must be the language barrier..

Pure sarcasm, Snook. The lowest form of wit.

The Purist!!! :+}
Snook

You are purely and simply a troll.

Is that the Pot calling the kettle Black...:+]
Snook

"simple" and so efficient: nice, like it.

Thierry

actually it was a 30sec shot on a 132C and the light was the light Sword lightpainting "softbox"
In eilmdays it was so hard to use but now on digital it is pure fun.
Thanks Thierry for your kind words, hopefully peace will come back to this forum...

I apologise for expressing my opinion and any hurt that may have resulted from that.

I love this - a fantastic shot (aside from the dust bunnies )

Great shots.

Looking at the first makes me realize how much architecture sucks in the U.S. compared to many other countries around the world.

Not true! Check this out

I think these words are appreciated and the right ones.

Thierry

This one is very nice!

From this morning's walk. Rollei 6008AF, Sinar e54LV, ISO 50, 40mm f3.5 lens at f8

Beautiful image, Graham.

Thierry

That's really nice, Graham.
Jon

Graham Nice shot..
Dude it looks like the Light was just right...:+}
Was there a nice white wall to the right of camera view?? A lot of fill going on there..Which looks great. Or did you bump shadows up quite a bit in post?
Very Nice.
Snook

Add another admirer to the list Graham. Your work in post shows restraint and skill.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Fred

I don't think there was a white wall or anything like that. It was daylight, just, but the sun wasn't up yet. The post mainly consisted of a curve and the tint. Nothing fancy.

Excellent, as usual

Todays work, clothing for big and older women. I did about 100 of those. Oh... I so much love doing white on white

Nice job. Did you do a lot of post processing. What lightsetup did you use?

Rainer:

The interior with the square color windows and the garden in b&w have that "je ne se quoi" quality seen only from medium format digital, even after been downsized and compressed for the net.

Please keep posting some more pics from the P25!

Thanks

Eduardo

Hardly any post-processing necessary, though for these I added some grain, did some curves and toning but that was mostly for fun and to get rid of the smoothness of the files. These 2 shots get printed as well so I took it a bit further. About 100shots that needed to be post-processed in a couple of hours. I had to do most while photographing.

4 background flashes to wipe out the background and the part directly behind the models. One large box and reflector screen below as a main. A grid to project directly behind the models to get rid of their shadow and help eliminate the shadows behind/around their feet. The area around on the floor (around feet) is always the biggest pain.

Problem with big models is....


big shadows.

Oops!
I accidentally attached a pre dust busted copy. Should be fixed now. Thanks.

Just my long used method I guess. It's all about the light.
I usually find shots I like & then return the following day to shoot it when the light will be at it's best for the angle/feel that I want - in this case 5am, literally just as the sun came up.
About 20 exposures over a 5 or 6 min window, then it's gone.
Technically, f22 at about 4 secs with a .6 ND grad. RZ67/Aptus 65s/65mm lens

Country landscapes seem in vogue (we will also be in Wells and Glastonbury in JUne. Is the previous Glous'shire near there?

Anyway. a 5 stitch with 80mm c645/p45+

used PTGUI. It didnt blens well. need to go back to the raw for the brochure and balance better there Sometime phase shifts WB unnecessarily..

Victor

PS: It's Sare, near La Rhune

Not that near, about 80ish miles north, but the same side of the country. Worth the trip though.
You'll be spoilt where your going though - Somerset is my favourite area of the UK. Beautiful.

Duh!
Girlfriends' of course.


God, multiple girlfriends, there's a thought!!

normaly I don't do fashion but this good client of mine asked me
for a day or so in the studio. Normaly I shoot all their shops, factories and
some still lifes. It was a good change from working by myself to have
15 people around helping.
Certainly open for serious critisism!! like 'Don't give up your day job'

oh yeah;

replaced the ZD's IR cut filter with their IR photo filter (basically optical glass)

playing around with the sensor's IR response

Mamiya ZD, IR Photo filter:

Today on a soap set. Hasselblad H2/HC35 & HC50-110. 16seconds take at ISO50.

Now there are some really interesting shadows there, deconstruct that lighting, a la strobist, at your peril.

Hey Dustbak... nice shot's..
Why is the middle one looking like it has a lot of grain or texture to it...
Just curios..
Snook

2 of those shots I have added grain. The last one doesn't have the grain which is also the one with the least convincing lighting & shadows. We were kind of restricted in the lighting, we could do the shots in between takes and remodelling of the set. So we did not have a lot of time to setup extra lighting to get rid of some shadows. Most of the light came from the same light setup used during the filming of the scenes.

This was actually for a manufacturer of closets

That is what I thought...
They look nice and the light looks good as well.
In the last one not sure if you wanted it to look like a "set" but the reflections of the roof above the book case clearly marks it as a made set as it is reflecting what looks to be the set lighting etc..
Thanks for sharing.. the grain looks great also, just was not sure if it was post...:+}

Walking through Manhattan. P45+, Mamiya, shift 50mm. This bus got between me and what I wanted to image, so I shot it

Edmund

The last one has a newspaper on the table that is a fake, a newspaper with news from an imaginatory city. This is something that probably only can/will be seen by people watching this TV soap. The funny part is that I have also put this one on a Dutch forum where nobody even noticed it being a set and nobody noticed the newspaper that doesn't exist with news that never happened

Nice shot James, gorgeous post-processing. Looks really painterly.

First set of test images with my RB67/H20 combo which i 'upgraded' from 5d. File quality is amazing but the file size is around same after cropping. All shots taken with 180mm kl except 4,5,6 taken with 50mm sekorC. All shots on tripod except for 6. Really happy with the focus on 4(running) which was shot with wlf and regular mamiya grided screen. I shoot on a compaq laptop(1.66mhz and 1.25gb ram) with c1 db 3.78. File transfer is about 3-4 secs which i think is normal with an h20....not sure.

@Jparadise,
Wow.
Love it.

@James,
Don't know about the shot, normally I love what you do.
Here the suit has two different colors like a moire challenge gone wrong, sorry

Sid you probably would not get that nice White on White with the 5D either...:+}
Snook

You're good with that HC50-110
