It has been several months since I have been on FM, wanted to post the series of images I took this last weekend in Jacksonville. It's hard to find a board where the members will still give you a good critique and that is one thing I remember about this place...y'all have teeth and use them I am almost strictly a studio shooter so I was 100% out of my realm this weekend and that was the whole point, let me have it!
I love the shots. beautiful models and I want to be some seaweed....
Her eyes on #2 kind of bother me. They almost look too glassy if that means anything. Other than that, I really like the lighting for #1-5 and the B+W conversions look great.
Ya, the eyes in #2 are glassy, from what I can tell it was the angle the sun hit them, she loves it so I edited it for her. The B&W conversions are the same as all my shots, for the most part, straight from my 5D
WOW. Love 1,6,7 lovely lighting on #9
Not sure if I would have kept the "UFO" lighting spots on #9 as they take some of the attention away from the modell.
they are all outstanding, except in #4 her legs look like she's broken. #9 is the freakin awesomest though. (and i think the "UFO" lights are part of what makes it awesome)
Britt, sorry baby, you know I still love you! *kisses*
No seriously, I can't remember where everyone is. I brought Teal Ann down to shoot with Vincent for the weekend and it was a mad house so I didn't really have time to think or contact anyone, sorry brother.
Daniel,
These are great.. but No.'s 3-5 crack me up, being a Floridian, all I can think of is.. I hoped he checked that seaweed before she put it there!! Usually you can find nice things like Portuguese man o' wars and some medical waste in them!!
charles - i first thought about the seaweed on S. Beach with waste too ...
... then i thought about the noseums and other satellite insects which usually orbit the clumps ... i bet that summer's eve ended w/ calamine or benedryl aha ...
