Interesting Josh, I like this exposure although I'd try and remove that red spot on the post. The purple/magenta gel looks good.

i don't clone things like that. when i go out and do UE style shoots with a model, i treat everything as if it were a UE shoot of the surroundings themselves. everything stays exactly as it was when i got there.

*and the gel is a split tone in LR3. highlights are a muted orange and shadows are a bluish-gray. thanks.

This morning's latest:

Goldfinch enjoying the last of the thistle by dcstep, on Flickr

Canon 7D, 500mm f/4L IS, ISO 800, 1/2000 second, f/6.3 0EV because of the back light on the thistle. Processed with DxO to bring out shadows.

Dave, you must have the most patience of anyone to get all these action shots.

Unlike birds...fish just kind of swim in one little area, and in the comfort of my living room

Nice light Joey.

Have you tried making an HD video? With the captive subject it should be a piece of cake.

Thanks...I made a video of me feeding my copperband a while back. I guess I never thought of doing another one.

It used to be a snapshot but works better with a lot of post processing!!

havent edited anything yet... that one was straight out of camera with just fixing the white balance from 5200 -> 5500.

I'll be going through the rest later today and will post a few.

EDIT: ok i lied, apparently my lightroom has it set to automatically bump up clarity and vibrance.

Hmm, think I'd clone out that dark spot on the ground between her legs.

Ok. But she looks like my cats when they're beaming with pride after a productive trip to the litter box.

M_Six · 08-07-2011, 11:37 PM

Seriously, Josh, the photo is technically well done. But I'm missing the point here. What are you trying to convey?

Please don't take this the wrong way and this is my own personal opinion and as such should be taken with a very big grain of salt, but I can't get the connection between the models and their surroundings. I'm not into "edgy," being an old fart and all, so maybe it's all just beyond me.

take out the background - are you happy with the model?
take out the model - are you happy with the background?

light your scene and frame your scene before you throw in the model. then light your model separately, without the light on the scene.

then put the two together.
