Guy, a very nice portrait; the colour one works better for me.

 

PS The second one is very fine, too. I think I like it even more!

 

 

It seems to have more thought properties coming from her. More dreamy mood I guess you could say. Interesting when you study nude images just a slight change can change the mood of it.

Well have to run and get ready for a wedding , yes I am shooting it . My wife and her big mouth. I don't do weddings often and it is very rare but i get to give the M8's a run for there money so at least it will be fun on that side of it. Check in tomorrow , have fun and thanks for your contributions and thoughts.

Guy -

 

Last summer on the subway I did see a young woman who clearly had her barbed wire upper arm surround tattoo laser removed. How'd I know? The white, white lines of the laser removal still showed the full shape of where the ink had been. I have no idea if those scars will ever disappear.

Guy,

 

great work. I agree that in the first pic the tattoo from the angle of the view looks as explained above....dangerous.

For me very fascinating is the difference of the impression between the first and the second. In the first the model looks like a girl and in the second like a wife...due to the shape of the face, a slighter edge in the second but both are....good!

 

So your lenses are magical :D

 

Pls. Thanks for sharing & pls. continue.

Guy, I looked at these yesterday and all I could think of that that you had mentioned on Friday that you were doing a wedding shoot this weekend.

 

Clearly it was a shotgun wedding and you used in-the-raw processing. :)

 

All kidding aside, they are really beautiful shots. On a second viewing I think that the b/w speaks to me the most. Would you describe your b/w workflow?

 

I do wish these were still on the digital Forum so we could discuss workflow along with the light specs. (Andy, do you wanna move it again?)

 

Regards,

Hi Bill!

 

I got your PM about moving the thread.

 

You can discuss tech issues here. We always have done that in the past whenever someone had a photo up, so I'm not sure why we'd restrict the conversation now. At least one of us has even taken someone's picture down before and edited it to make a technical point.

 

No names will be divulged, however!

 

:)

 

If Guy wants it back in Digital I'll be glad to move it, since it's his picture. Just so you know, there is a re-direct from Digital to this side of the Forum in case you forget where it is and look over there for it. Just click on the title link as always and you'll automatically be taken here.

 

Let me know what you prefer Guy.

 

Thanks.

There should have been an indication that that was the intent from the onset. There was none, hindsight is not an equaliser

 

Looks like a clear case of rules for some are to be altered to suit...........endangered species perhaps or a simple case of pleasing some?

Thanks for all your help.

Hi guys just back from a wedding in Tuson which is about 120 miles South of Phoenix . It went very well and used both M8's for the whole shoot, yes went for broke and actually they performed very well indeed. i did a lot hip shooting in the reception and used every lens i had. Walk in 28 and 50 in tandem. Trick is handgrip on one shoot 50 than left pinky finger grap camera and rotate to camera with 28, It was like machine gun action. LOL Anyway who said you can't shoot weddings with just a M8 oh and BTW i still hate doing them . I bow to Sean and Marc on doing these bloody things. ROTFLMAO

 

But anyway we can move this back to the digital side , it's Allans call he is the boss. I just don't normally post a image without some technical reason behind it , I should maybe have made it more clear when i started it just was in a little hurry like always. I came home to 75 e-mails and finish some files by 5 pm and i left 24 hours ago. LOL it's been busy but for all the freelancers out there when your busy it is the best times, so we really can't complain.

 

BTW these are for her husband so it is more about that than gettting to artsy but yes being a commercial shooter your first thoughts are advertising

David just imagine one with a neckstrap on your neck the other in your right hand with a hand grip. Now i shoot with the hand grip one first than remove my right hand the left hand fingers grap the grip with pinky and ring finger of left hand and it dangles down and the right grabs the neck starp one and my left thumb and index and middle finger are free to focus the neckstrap one . Takes about 2 to 3 seconds to switch back and forth. i took two 50mm shots than by the time i switched to the 28mm they were in a perfect spot to shoot it. i do this a lot on regular shoots that are fast moving. Just have to trust yourself on gripping and holding.

Guy, i really like thes nudes, the lighting is lovely, my only issue is the cropping at her hip, the pregnant nude is an amazing sight, the life inside, and i feel with the crop so high you are missing an important ingedient in the figure, the curve of the underbelly.( i still think it would be very tasteful) still a great shot though.

Guy,

 

I really like the Black and White version best. The expression on her face in that shot combined with the tones borders on the numinous. The magical feeling of carrying a new life is there, and the pose, her countors, it all works really wonderful.. I don't care about the technical aspects, the magic captured here is more important. Wonderful!
