aepelbacher 0 Posted August 30, 2004 The best one yet!!! I love this. Your focus really has been the EYES all along, and this image truly displays them in all of their wonderful-ness!! :-) If anything, I might have made everything else a TINY bit darker ... but I realize that your goal was to really isolate the eyes. Howard has forwarded the steps to me ... I'm going to have to play with some of my own pics. This is really a great image!!! Link to comment
afterthoughts 0 Posted August 30, 2004 This reminds me of 2001 a Space Odyssey. It has that same feel. The technique is mastered. You are losing something in the eyes and I am not sure what is causing the problem. Link to comment

jayme 0 Posted August 31, 2004 As we discussed before, it's detail. This was taken with the 75-300mm IS, no tripod, no flash, high ISO 1600, and in my daughter's garage during a huge down pour, while he sat so contently in his little infant seat watching us. I was helping my daughter with her garage sale. He was watching me so intently I couldn't resist. Here's the original, no sharpening, no nothing, just as it came from the camera. Of course here's my preference for the frame. You know that story. The DOF was so narrow, of course, the aperture was wide open, I focused on the distant eye, so the foreground eye was not sharp. In the whiteout image, I actually did a lot of free hand drawing. This image was not what I'd call a well executed shot, but it was my only option at the time. I hate tripods, I hate flashes, I'm going to try the monopod thing, maybe I'd like that better. Oh, and that big gray area in his eye was the nasty gray sky as it rained as reflected out the large garage door opening! LOL Link to comment
jayme 0 Posted August 31, 2004 We must think alike, I thought of 2001 space odessey myself, almost named it that! LOL. We are showing our age! LOL Link to comment

wilsontsoi 0 Posted September 1, 2004 Jayme, I like the composition and your own high key version. Eyes could've been a bit sharper, but that's minor. Link to comment
