roguewave Posted December 30, 2008 Share #2 Posted December 30, 2008 Mark, you know how much I like Pam. Love the head's on & return gaze. I'm not sure if it's the super sharpness of the lens or how you did the processing, but the contrast is too high and the gradient too steep. I miss all the gentleness in your earlier frames. The cool shadows, graceful lines & delicate features that so compliment Pam's sturdy beauty and the upright way she holds herself. But still, she carries the Day.

mark_goode Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted December 30, 2008 Mark, I second Ben, sorry but maybe this one is not for Pam. Yikes! I know I'm in trouble now! :-) Two thumbs down from you two AND Pam doesn't like the image . . . "Did you post THAT image?" You guys are right: the contrast is high and I should have worked more on P-P. The problem I was dealing with was really poor lighting in this venue. The lights were "can lights" in the ceiling or tungsten spots -- all of them highly directional. So I positioned Pam under a can light and tried to get the light to "spill evenly" over her . . . but it's still too harsh. And Tri-X/HC-110 is a different combo than T-Max with a different range. I've got a couple of more from the same venue that I'll post . . . but then they may not make the "Ben cut." :-) As always, your candid feedback is appreciated . . .

stuny Posted December 30, 2008 Share #5 Posted December 30, 2008 Mark - Also make sure Pam checks a mirror first. I know she would not approve of the straps used to secure the dress to a hanger showing, and possibly not the white strap, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted December 31, 2008 Share #6 Posted December 31, 2008 Ha, good eye Stuart. Have to agree with the others. I do like her expression though and am sure the contrast can be smoothed out via PP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thompsonkirk Posted January 1, 2009 Share #9 Posted January 1, 2009 Potentially another lovely subject & shot. I don't think it's the lens. How are you diluting & using the HC-110? Because of the light, the darker areas look underexposed, but the highlights look overdeveloped. If the developer is diluted enough for TX & the agitation is gentle, then it should function as a compensating developer & the highlights shouldn't come up as high as they do along the neckline. Hope this helps you get off the hook! Kirk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
