Excellent image Alissa. Love the engagement with the camera and the softness adds rather than detracts from the whole.

Excellent work. I think I like the second crop better, it gives the appearance that there is more space to be looking into.

Your shot is excellent, though i would recommend some makeup under the eyes, (they do show some wrinkles,) and the area under her lower lip on the left side, (looking at her, is a little dark,) but your treatment of the model is perfect.

I like the look, a salute to Hurrel.
Thanks! That wasn't my intent when I took it but when I converted it to black and white - :thumbup:

Great job here Bill. This could be a glossy shot in any of those 40s movie fan magazines. :thumbup:

This is a lovely photo until I notice the black gloved hand near her face. It disappears into the background but once it caught my eye........ :(
Thanks for the input - it really is tough to 'un-see' something.

Jenna D is a model I worked with over the weekend - got some really amazing results. The color version of this is not nearly as dramatic. C&C welcome

Thanks for your reply... I have thought about purc... (show quote)
Mark,
With most modern incident light meters there is a setting that will measure the flash when it goes off. The meter just waits until it sees a flash then gives a reading. Any available light in the room will also be included in that reading.
If the flash is your primary light source then you can drag your shutter without worrying too much about motion blur. The duration of the flash, not the shutter speed, will freeze the action. Flash duration is generally much faster than your average shutter speed in a portrait situation.
If you are just using a pop of flash for fill then you would have to be concerned about it, but not with flash as the primary lighting.
Hope this helps
Bill

#1 is simply luscious.
I agree - it is. The soft focus on the edges combined with the harder shadows from the Fresnels seems to merge into a truly striking image. Thanks for sharing this Bobby, as usual a masterful job.

Bobby,
Thanks again for a great post. I've had some experience with fresnels as stage lighting but never used them for photography. I'll have to keep my eyes open for a used set.

Dang! Now I gotta go out and get a bike. I wonder if I can write it off as a photography expense?
That would be the ultimate GAS attack LOL!

Really nice job on these Walt - I like the color one better because I think the color adds to the image. Much better on the crop - really makes a difference. Keep up the good work!
