lambroving Posted September 24, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 24, 2006 Mmmm.... Nice. Did we see this before? Any special lighting? Old 28/2.8? (I can't tell in this size and in B&W.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billh Posted September 24, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 24, 2006 Very nice - vintage Brent, actually. I have not looked at this part of the forum for a long time. I am obviously lucky tonight! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmsr Posted September 25, 2006 Share #7 Posted September 25, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Great portrait. Ditto what John said. I love him being the first focus and then expanding to see the environment. Best, Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_drabek Posted September 25, 2006 Share #8 Posted September 25, 2006 Brent, the great care you take in composing in your viewfinder is obvious in this shot. There is nothing haphazard or accidentally lucky in the way you've arranged the elements. To my eye an essentially perfect composition. Can I ask how you handled the lighting? You really nailed it.

uulrich Posted September 25, 2006 Share #9 Posted September 25, 2006 Brent; This is a very nice one, right on the money. I noticed it earlier and this is another evidence; the way how you 'treat' light is astonishing. I don't know if you accept compliments from back seat drivers, though.

stuny Posted September 25, 2006 Share #10 Posted September 25, 2006 Brent - Perfection in an enviromental portrait: subject, stronger light on him, framing, and just the right amount of the environment. He must have loved the shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share #11 Posted September 25, 2006 Thanks very much. I appreciate the comments a lot. William--It's the "old" 28, if you can call a lens "old" that was purchased new in 1992. DD--I set up studio strobes for the shot (Balcars with softboxes), but did the photo just utilizing the modeling lights rather than the strobes in order to balance the forground with the background. I had the camera on a tripod because the exposure was something like 1/2 second. Bill--Been a long time, but it's always good to hear from you here. I think you must be spending a lot of time at the ivory keyboard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

square_one Posted October 7, 2006 Share #16 Posted October 7, 2006 So right, Brent. The surround tells of this man without an ounce of waste or pretention, without need of title. I imagine him simply turning back toward the stage, players taking their places, the beat going on. Most so-called portraits are too close, untelling. This is just ... right!

abrewer Posted October 7, 2006 Share #17 Posted October 7, 2006 Sensational shot, Brent. Composition, contrast, tones, everything just spot on. Can you share with me some technical expertise? How much in the way of lighting do you normally take with you on a shoot like this? I know you've mentioned the strobes before, but what do you mean by "modeling lights"? Thanks.
