ok, so I am a little confused. Why is the shadow cast off vertical axis if your flash was in line with the lens? BTW great job 05titan.
The shadow must be from this:
Joe...it was much too cool and dark to not use a flash. Most of the light on her and spilling around her is coming from a speedlight shot into an umbrella about 5 feet on her left. In addition we were into our third hour of shooting. This was her final outfit change and final setting. We shot way too much compared to a focused shoot...she requested a lot of different "looks" to give to her agent to build her card with. Most of the shooting was done at a mission that didn't allow for a lot of gear or tripods, so I didn't bring mine with me. I fully agree on the "don't use it, if not needed" sentiment!!...Show more →
You have very good contrast on her shadow side, Extract feature works very fast and effectively to assist with the area selection. Manual light painting works well here also.
By the way if you have pixels to play with, don't forget to rotate the canvas (by e.g. 3 degrees CW in the first image).
Now there's an excellent look I hadn't even considered. And since she is the catcher for the California Wonderball Softball team, we wouldn't have to invest in expensive props.
I just wanna say....The model is Hot ! Sorry, I have nothing to add beyond the earlier posts.
