Thanks I was using very high ISO so a little noisy but focus was achieved. Started shooting at around 4:30AM, I was back at hotel room by 9AM.
Had an opportunity to be present for this event, Tried some new settings for low light situation and they came out OK. Enjoy
Oh yes, this is a wonderful technique, so much to learn! I am up at the crack of dawn every day now engrossed in learning and applying. I have a new drive to open photo shop and all it has to offer.
I went a little crazy editing this just cause I could, even at 60 this woman is very photogenic!
So this is the same day with my home DIY Beauty Dish and practicing my retouching techniques employing frequency separation in PSE 11.
Thank you for your kind comments. I am having fun working in home studio. Have plans for a 90 year old female formal portrait coming soon.
This wonderful woman sat for me today, she is a 60 yr old mother of a twenty something son. I am lucky to have friends to help me indulge my hobby.
I looked at them in B&W and this was my favorite interpretation of the feeling I was trying to convey.
Thanks for your interest and comment. Rich..........
Better yet I will photograph and detail their assembly for all.
I built a new 22" beauty dish and a rectangular vane directional light modifier, to use with my flashes with specific images in mind. My friend whom has seen a hard life agreed to sit for me. I have more very interesting people that have agreed to sit for me so I will be able to further refine my ability to use these as they give me the opportunity.
Love these, very nice color and great detail, with wonderful bokeh.
I can almost hear the roar! Nice set.
It's probably a good thing these suits came out after my young fit time, I got in enough trouble with hang gliding. I also just missed the snow board sky surfing just in the nick of time. Now I can just dream about it.
The wings on this bird are simply amazing, the shape is incredible! They just exude power for soaring. Nice shots.
