This photo has the potential to be great. The lighting especially I like.

 

But don't you find the whole thing out of focus? It really lacks sharpness.

You're really onto something with this shot. The colors are great!

 

I agree with the above post. You should have moved a little bit of hair out of the way... too much darkness on the left.

I find it so hard to have fog portrayed properly in the camea.

 

May I ask what camera settings you used (how was this exposed)? What lens?

 

And finally did you do any photoshop adjustments after?

 

Well done!

I also find the silhouttes of the people are a neat addition.

 

Regarding converting your images to B&W... from the look of this, I have to assume you used the channel mixer tool in monochrome to acheive this. Also, the severe pixelation in the sky tells me you either used alot of the green or the blue channel.

 

It's a shame it does this... because I love the contrast that the blue channel in monochrome provides.

You're comments are appreciated. Yes this scene only lasted about 1 or 2 mins. I had actually stood out on my balcony and taken a decent sunset shot, then I happened to return 10 mins later, and saw this.

.

Very well executed shot. And the glass is tack sharp!

 

May I ask what the set-up was for this? What sort of backdrop? what lighting? camera? lens?

 

Thanks!

An excellent shot.

 

I think its too bad the cokin grey filter adds that color to the sky though. But even more annoying that Singh Ray filters are so expensive :)

Thanks for the comments... when you say "filter on the lens" Do you mean on the lens I'm shooting with, or the lens of this rangefinder in the shot?

.

What did you use to light the person, a flash?

 

Did you some sort of color adjustments in PS after?

I may be getting the tamron 28-75 tomorrow. How do you like it? Do you miss the range of the EF-S 18-55 when you use it?

Please describe your lighting set-up in this shot. I am very curious

I love the sky on this shot. Did you use a graduated filter ND filter? if so, what kind/brand ?

that's really all I have to say :)

 

Nice shot btw.

I like this shot. Is it just me though or is the focus concentrated on the pedals instead of the long part? I might be curious to see this same shot with the focus concentrated on the long part of the flower.

 

Also, did you use a flash for this? or just ambient light? What camera hardware, lens did you use?

I like this one tremendously.

 

Could you please describe your lighting set-up? (and settings)

Her face is very well exposed. And she's gorgeous :)

 

Curious.. is that a medium format camera? What dimensions are the porta film? Is it the same as Mamiya film format? I don't know much about non 35mm.

Any comments and/or suggestions? This actually is part of a theme. You

For all you know it was 100 degrees when they took this shot :)

Everything is neat about this shot except the lighting. It really helps to use a lightsource directly behind your glasses, to give that glow to the liquid. It might be difficult if it's jellow :)

 

Also the ripples of the background sheet are a little distracting.

u said it was 2 shots in your details area?

 

Did you blur two shots together for two exposures in photoshop?

The story, and the lighting are great!

 

Could you give details on the set-up of this? the lighting especially.

This is perfect!

 

Did you do anything in photoshop? or this is a result of the filters you used on your lens?

 

What time of day did you take this?

Although this particular shot isn't my favorite, I looked through your portfolio, and I absolutely adore your scenic , landscape shots.

 

The windmills!
