Working on a few workshop things, one being how to get a strobe look without using strobes or any artificial light at all. Opinions on these shots? Can't spill the beans just yet, but I'm working on it! What do you think of these shots? I think if seems more 'strobey' on the colour, not the b/w.

Love them. Very much look "mildly" strobed.

100% on the colour version.

+1 colour version.

Both definitely have a strobe-y look. It's the direction of the light in the B&W that give it that look. color just looks strobe-y in general.

Funny - I work so hard on making sure my shots don't have that look! But I'm pretty sure this workshop will go over very well.

#1 but I'd sale she's looking too pale

#2 doesn't have any strobe look to me.

#1 definitely looks like it's been lit because the background is underexposed compared to the couple...if that was done in post it looks pretty good to me. B&W just looks like natural light with a little corner burn...

#1 looks stobed cuz there's less ambient light than #2. That said I dig the look of #1.

#1 strobed look
#2 no

They both look strobed to me. 1 more then 2 however.

#1 looks strobey...#2 less so.

nice...now spill the beans! :P

1 looks strobed, 2 not as much...

1 works very well and love the strobe effect.

Someone playing with the luminance sliders?

I'll tell you how I would do it... may or may not be the same thing JClay would do.

Well - go on then!

hmmm, dodge, burn, desaturate, rinse, repeat?

I'd just use a strobe
