p.1 #1 · My friend took a photo of me


Hey friends,

I have been assisting for a photographer that just recently moved to LA named Dave. I have been learning a lot about lighting and ideas, but I'm still struggling in the post process department. Dave was nice enough to give me some raw shots from the shoot and take a photo of me.

I had the background, two soldiers and the photo of me. This is the composite that I made out of it with my take on the post process.

what do you think?

Rian

+1 on the point man observation above.

My Simple Suggestions: The Pyramids don't fit.

I hope that helps.

Yea....I usually like your posts but the pyramids def do not fit...and Osama is not from Egypt. He was born in Saudi Arabia, please do not get that confused. I do not mean to sound harsh but my original citizenship is from Egypt and I hate to see things get mixed up here.

I can get past the pyramids and even the fact that you are going to shoot your point man, but the yellow pants are the true killer for me!
Great job, it's worlds beyond what I can do.

Agree about the point man, but I like the image.

And who says Bin Laden's not in Cairo! I heard he was in Dubai a couple of months ago getting his teeth fixed, apparently everyone knew he was there.

I know there's been financial meltdown lately but isn't the reward for him slightly higher than $2,500?

I like the image too. What struck me here is your comment about "struggling with PP".
I guess it is all relative. Many here would love to have your PP ability.

Another observation: Two soldiers are aiming their weapons while you are hip shooting in a very casual (safety standpoint as well as well as accuracy) non-professional way.

Bin Laden is loooong dead - that's been confirmed - but anyway I think you did a great job cutting in and matching up the elements. It looks like 3-point and it's all matching up. Nice!

Kinda ruins the "shot" when you're about to waste one of your team mates.

Looks good. I don't know that I could do it so take this with a grain of salt. The only thing I see is a slight halo around your head... maybe on in parts. if it were bigger it might be more noticeable.

You are lucky to get to work with Dave and you work is inspiring on it's own.

Looks like at least an F-86 Sabre, but maybe it's a Mig.
