First Post - Dancer on Tracks

Unrestrained Focus · 07-03-2009, 01:23 PM

This is a few shots from a shoot for a college dancer's portfolio.

Sherman Banks · 07-03-2009, 01:38 PM

Nice work! I love the feel of the first.

Unrestrained Focus · 07-03-2009, 01:46 PM

Thanks Sherman! Yeah, I like the mood of that one, and it was her favorite as well.

I used an Alien Bee AB800 camera left.

What are you using for power...Vagabond?

Unrestrained Focus · 07-03-2009, 02:02 PM

Yeah, I use the Vagabond power supply. I've used that light and power supply for a couple years now, and I've put them both through grueling experiences. I've been to the beach with both of them and gotten sand and water all over them, and they both still work like a charm. I couldn't be more happier with my Alien Bee products.

#1 & #2 have some halo issues. In #1 I'm not convinced the it's a faint moon in the top quarter (near the silo). Also, check your verticals.

#3 - awesome...

Unrestrained Focus · 07-03-2009, 02:20 PM

Thanks! Yeah, I definitely got some halos going on. in #1, that's actually lens flare from the sun. I thought about taking it out, but I kinda liked it there.

TimmyJP · 07-03-2009, 02:29 PM

I love the light in these, very well done.

You could maybe edit out that circle in the first one, other than that I love your locations and the composition of all of them.

Like all of them. Only nitpick would be her legs in the first image, the color/tone/shadow (there is something about them) does not look right.

TriniPhototakeoutta · 07-03-2009, 05:04 PM

I like all but i realy like #3. It shows her environment and i like how the light gives her almost like a spotlight effect and then trails off into darkness. very nice.
