Ashanali Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 If people are offended by this image, please post it in the thread and I'm more than happy to remove it, however this is my image of WOMAN (I did a boudoir shoot with 6 models last week. This is one of my favourite images ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchnauzerBoy Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Ashanali - I think that shot is really well done and very well composed. My shot for MAN - Dave Callan during his set for Adelaide Fringe - Going Ape At The Zoo Just for those who have been following my 70-200 discussion - this was taken with the 70-200 with the 2x teleconverter, at night with Dave only lit by the stage lights in the middle of the zoo... ISO 1600 LOVE IT Edited February 24, 2010 by SchnauzerBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISO 1600 LOVE IT That's awesome! My 450d is so very very grainey at 1600 so I always shoot on a low ISO. I'm pretty sure it's me and not the camera so it's definitely something to think about! I'm definitely going to take that shot further Ashanali but I'm really not sure how to go about it - my photoshop skills are sadly lacking. I'll have another play with it on the weekend - time for some research I think! I took this one as well but instead of looking soft, I think she looks kind of evil which is totally not my friend! I really want to take this one further too but again, I'm not sure what to do with it! And I think I'm in love with your boudoir photo - it's sexy without showing anything. Love it!

SchnauzerBoy Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 That's awesome! My 450d is so very very grainey at 1600 so I always shoot on a low ISO. I'm pretty sure it's me and not the camera so it's definitely something to think about! The D80 is horrible when it goes over ISO 400 - hence why I am saving up for the D700 (or whatever the replacement is come April / May time). However, the onboard High ISO NR sometimes work when there is a small amount of backlight, otherwise the slightest bit of cropping or PP and the blacks look That is why the 2x teleconverter was purchased. no need to crop! Also, I really like your 2nd queen of hearts shot... the little bit of leg and stocking removes the "evil" look to me, and has more of a "come and play" feel. ;) I can see what you mean though, she has good eye contact and expression.

huga Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I love them Shell, they have a really nice, dark vibe about them I wish I knew how to use Photoshop, the whole thing just leaves me baffled. I've looked at online tutorials, but I think I need someone to teach me in person ;) Anyway, have you ever heard parents say that they love their kids just a little bit more when they're asleep? Well, it's true! Love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashanali Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Shell, this is just a 2 minute play. I softened her expression a touch using liquify (I don't mind that she looks a bit "tough" but I softened it because you said you didn't like it. ) I've brought out her eyes from the shadows Warmed it up slightly Added a hint of a texture over the top but painted it back over the skin areas to make her look a little softer. You could go the other direction and do a cool toned and harder/dramatic look but the warmth works also. You're on a good thing with these photos. Nice light too.

Funnily, that editing took it back towards where it was warmth-wise (off camera). I cooled it off when I saw the expression on her face I will have to see what the happens if I make it look more dramatic now! I would love to give her one with her looking soft and fairytale like and then one with her looking cold and harsh! The first was taken in next to no light with my car headlights and a speedlite bounced off a red brick wall, the second was taken in my kitchen with the speedlite bouncing off my roof so they were both terrible lighting conditions but I'm happy with it!

Ashanali Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Bad TASTE I was waiting for someone to go in this direction for taste. btw - that is almost the dress that I bought for my first wedding back in 1998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniek Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Annie what a stunning dog!! Is he yours?! No Bec, he was a long term foster - very very timid and I shed buckets when he went to his new home. But he is very happy and we keep in touch!

Rozzie Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I think the dress would have been OK with different flowers... it's all a bit funereal for me with the big urn and the BIG flowers... I love looking in the shops in town, you find some daggy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gspx3 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Haven't been inspired at all over the last few weeks but my wild child was 'sunbaking' today so I have Upside Down (please excuse her nudeness - she has no shame) BTW that dress is very similar to the one I wore back in 1964 (everything old is new again).
