My first nude

My first attempt at "fine art" photography, also trying Tri-X to get a

feel for the grain structure.

I know about the shadow on the right leg, I could improve the

lighting, but bear in mind that this was done in our bedroom with our

two small halogen bedside lamps for sole lighting!

It feels a bit weird to pick the "Fine Art" category at this point in

my photographer career... :-)

Hi Pierre,

Pretty good for your first attempt. Just a couple of points to keep an eye out for. It is difficult when setting up for the shot but you need to look out for the shadows. There is a shadow running down her right leg. Also the left leg is blown out a little as well. the nude is a very difficult subject to master but you are not far from it. Just take your time when shooting and watch the lighting.

I had noticed the right leg shadow and the rather blown-out left leg before uploading it, but thought it was still rather nice for a first try! :-)

Please also take into consideration that this is no studio backdrop or studio lighting: this is our bedroom, with $15 bedside halogen lamps as "hot lighting"!

I did try to get sophisticated in another shot by bouncing one of them on the close wall, but that didn't pan out too well (not powerful enough).

one of the best forms in photography is the triangle...you have many here...

Interesting lighting. I like it much better than the one with the light background.

in peace, love and harmony,
