uh, it's a dress.

I think this is a good set. Some of the shadows from the light camera left were distracting. I think a second fill light could have helped with some of them, specifically when she had her right shoulder forward creating shadow from the flash. I think you did a nice job with the park being closed and having to rethink everything.

I know it's a dress - I was just joking because it's not much of a dress and barely even covers her butt. Don't mind me - I'm just not big on how parents let kids dress these days. The shots are well executed, however, as has been previously noted.

I had contemplated using the on-cam flash as a little fill but didn't. I didn't lug a lot of gear, just one stand and the Lumiquest.

nice post processin, what technique did you use?

 

[Trever1t]

Thank you Ryan,

I am sure I do things the hard way. I am self taught with LR3 and CS5 and I know I'm a terrible teacher

LR3 basic adjustments, white balance bumped up just a little more warmth. Crop and edit in CS5 for some skin smoothing, cloning, curves adjustments and that's about it. Convert in LR3 to .jpg


It takes longer but I look at every shot as unique...

I totally feel ya on the self taught... I taught myself and plenty of trial and error , but i like the methods used. As for your off camera flash, did you shoot manual using radio triggers or did you use something fancy like pocket wizards? If not what settings did you use and how far did you place the flash from yoru subject?

I triggered the OCF in SU4 mode (manual) using Nikons CLS system triggered with the on-camera flash (cam flash set to not affect exposure "---") Flash was on a stand about 6' or so from the model and I was about 20' away from stand.

Thank you. She's 16 (so behave yourselves ) and quite an experienced model. Schwetty only knew because I had told him previously. Most guess 21. I took 200 frames in 2 locations in 35 minutes, most of which were keepers.

It's all that extra stuff in the chicken these days!!!

Really, great set!

 

[Trever1t]

It really is the chicken

Thanks for all the kind words and critique.
