Today’s photo is of Charlotte and was taken about 15 feet to the left of the photo of Britt that I posted on Monday. I wanted this photo to be primarily about the light from the window and the textures of the prison walls. I wanted Charlotte to be well lighted but I wanted her to be only part of the overall scene.
We tried lighting her with a strobe at various levels, but the strobe light kept breaking the beam of light. I finally moved the strobe with a snoot outside the window and got what I wanted.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, 28-70mm f/2.8 at 70mm, shot at ISO 200, f/11 and 1/60 of a second on tripod.
Post Processing:
Lightroom: Set white and black points, added mid-tone contrast, clarity and vibrance.
I like the overall shot, but I wished that she was a little more in the shadows. I think that would make you want to study the image more.

Not overly interesting. The lighting is good, but, why do you have her in the photo. I think it would be a better photo without anyone in it.

Not a real happy pix. I do like how you got all the textures and the colors to come forward. Would you have taken this photo if you had not been attending a class?

I do not understand all the fuss. This is an interesting photograph. I would not hang it in my living room, but, it is still interesting. I like that you try a lot of different things. Keep doing what you are doing.

I like this shot Larry. Nice exposure.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing how the light comes in at one angle I can see how your previous shot with Britt may have actually been better with the same directional light.
