A Belt

thanks for looking

Looks like an ad to me,good job.

Thanks Joe, just an experiment. That's all I seem to be doing these days.

Nothing wrong with that at all,some of my best shots are from experimenting.You never learn if you dont try?I really like the lighting in this would you care to inform me?

Regina- Very eye catching. I find experiments fun, educational and horizon expanding. Nice job!

Hi Regina, I just saw another picture, also with B&W, and just one color in it, it gives a special effect, I don't know how to do that, I have to try and experiment myself, experimenting is also fun to do.

This is cool! I particularly like the crop and the selective desat. Nice!!!

As far as lighting, I have a very basic set up of 2 spots and one boom. The brighter spont was on her right. Used a white paper background. I really don't know how to properly set up the lgithing, I just move them to where I think things look good... and start shooting. Not very techincal I guess.

Regina- for not knowing, you are doing well. I just finished a class on studio lighting. It was enlightening (pardon the pun). They say the white seamless background is the hardest to perfect. I try to use the light meter, for several reasons, but if the image turns out really well, then I can reproduce it again. Tweaking or adjusting according to the histogram and image is a digital luxury. Speeds up the learning curve too. But as I was reminded frequently, to reproduce your results, you got to know what your light settings were. And amazingly it never fails, when I am just playing around, is when I get some really interesting results. Of course, I had no idea what settings I used. :0 !

Nice job, Regina. The placement of the glass and having it in color is very eye-catching.

Eye catching color and a clever play on the word "belt" having a belt and a drink.

Glad that you caught it Leanne!
