marco_ruggiero 0 Posted June 15, 2006 I like it. Somber and dark but I feel well executed. I think you have managed to reflect some real dark feelings in this one.I wouldn't change a thing. Congrats. Link to comment
lupine 0 Posted June 15, 2006 Thanks, Marco: It was an experiment. I was shooting the full moon reflecting off our living room furniture when this presented itself. I shot with the shutter locked open and exposed my face with short bursts of light from a 6 LED flashlight I always keep with me to use when I'm shooting in the dark. Because It was dark, and it was just me, I didn't focus properly so I decided to salvage the shot with some manipulation. I actually like this image and plan on playing with the technique some more. The LED gives off an interesting light. Link to comment
mmmee 0 Posted March 17, 2007 oh yes, very interesting light! plus your expression and the way the light catches you eyes in just that position. This could be used as a cover for a spy novel. Or you could be cast in the character of a psychological thriller movie with this face. Exquisite light and expression. Nice one! Have you ever used neat image? I believe its still free software and easy to use. You could reduce the noise in this and make it even more stressfull. Link to comment
lupine 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks, M.M. I've never heard of Neat Image, I'll see if I can find it on line. The truth is though that I wanted the grain/texture/etc. It's actually a PS filter which creates it. The original didn't have anywhere near as much. There are several ways within Photoshop to reduce noise/grain and I've used them when I enlarged my images to 3' x 4' for the gallery show. Thanks for stopping by and more importantly, your comments. Be well... Yikes, it is sort of creepy isn't it? I usually find myself using myself as a model simply because I work at all hours of the night and I'm the only one awake at the time :-) That's probably why I look so angry? Link to comment
