Great concept, who doesn't like a bit of time in front of the box with a beverage and nibbles, has as already been said its a little bit dark in the foreground.
Thanks JohnGreat concept, who doesn't like a bit of time in front of the box with a beverage and nibbles, has as already been said its a little bit dark in the foreground.
If it was easy all of the time it wouldn't be worth doing would it.Thanks John
Finding this one tough to get the best compronise in lighting ...
Very true mate very trueIf it was easy all of the time it wouldn't be worth doing would it.
It's all part of the learning process.
Thanks Mandy
BUT I must admit, I am now infront of the tv on my lappy, and the image is still a bit dark for me... might try another in a few days once I hear the feedback
ThanksAh you can't beat a classic flick and nibbles! Like the scene a lot and you've balanced the various parts of it well with such limited light! It's deffo worth viewing this on a big monitor too - looks a bit dark on the iPhone but spot on when on the Mac.
Thanks DavidYep, the tweaks make all the difference to the image.
Thank You PerryTweeks have improved the picture - the first one I didn't even notice your hand in it - viewed through iPad.
Not that I have the experience to judge but I think you have done a good job in difficult lighting.
Thanks Sarah... I prefer them tooThose corner to corner crops have worked wonders with patterns - the panoramic one is my favourite, although the square crop gives more of an abstract feel in fitting with the theme.
I far prefer the new crop on the third one too.
In this instance with my workload and both business and home move in the next few months PP is going to be my route for sureStill a bit dark for me too TBH.
Is a reshoot possibly on the cards or just some lightening in PP?
That sounds a great idea... I may do this for the next Re-Shoot as I want this one to work, especially like the idea of the rim lighting to the popcorn, sounds excellentIf you were re-doing it completely I'd be really tempted to get some directional light behind the glass and popcorn - I reckon even a cleverly concealed torch or two would do it - just to give the impression that the TV screen is iluminating the glass and bowl more than it actually is.
I reckon you'd get some very nice backlighting through that glass and some good rim light on the edge of the popcorn bowl that way.
Thanks again... I'm enjoying the challenge that's the main thingDefinitely my idea of blissful though - even if the process of getting it just right has probably been anything but!
Thanks NickNice idea for patterns, I think the longer corner to corner crop works best for me compositionally. I really like the low sun shadows from the stones, smacks of the season. I like the idea of bliss too, and it's nicely done, particularly after the tweaks, but for some reason the oof movie annoys me a little. I have no idea why, I'm not even a sci-fi fan! Maybe even more oof would do it... not sure?
Thanks too Jill, glad you can see things clearer after editLove the edit as I can now see your hand and the popcorn without having to tip my screen towards me. Only crit now is buy a bigger TV
Cool - Thanks a lot SimonThats my idea of bliss the drink especially. My pic of the round so far
Thanks MikeI like all your pattern shots in post 76 but the last of the three is my favourite of the three because the sea isn't in it making all of the image a pattern. I really like the crop too.
Thanks again mateThe bliss image is much better with the hand an popcorn lightened.
Good stuff!!
Thanks Ian... me neitherI think it's a great idea, but it suffers from the low lighting. Unfortunately, I have no ideas as to how to improve it
LMAOYou might get to have another go if the subject "Hell" comes out. Just swap the Guiness for Murphy's and Ep IV for Ep I
No problem, thanks for visitingSorry I can't be more constructive...
Cheers PhilDefinitely a difficult one to light, great concept, well done
Phil
Ahhhh thanks Mark ... may try that on Sunday, think my evenings are going to be a tad busy this weekDark Knight
I defo prefer your edit… however I still find the whole image a bit dark.
Try just going 1.33 stops brighter… I think that would do the trick!
Great idea though… Man Bliss!
Mark
Thank you Hazel, on both countsLike your idea of bliss Dark Knight. I think the edited version is my favourite
Really really like your patterns image, could see this on a big canvas print somewhere.......
Thanks PeterPattern - I prefer the second and especially the wider crop version of this due to the DoF and slightly brighter exposure on the sand
That's fair comment tooBliss - Talking of exposure I feel this is a little too dark for my taste but the theme is a feeling so maybe that allows more leniency on that front
Cheers GrahamI think it's a good concept for Bliss and certainly one I can relate to I echo other comments with a wish to have more light in the foreground, but there was enough for me to figure out what was going on in the scene, so not a train smash
Well hey... it's a good focal point and squeezes iintothe holder so GET INOh and a pint of vodka and coke...
Thanks Anita... just what I was trying to portrayHi
Bliss
Great idea, difficult to capture.
prefer first edit, just enough light for me, just like sitting in cinema
Cheers jamespattern - liking the channels around the stones
bliss - got to love Star Wars, a drink, and some grub. I echo some other comments, a wee bit more light could make a big difference, but i can't say anything as you know I like dark images
Cheers AllanHi DK, Pattern, have to say I prefer the edited shots that Iain suggested great diagonals with the sand and water.
REALLY !!!Bliss, you do know that other films have been made since Star wars
which I have to confess to never having watched,
Thanks again mateanyway its dark but I can see just enough detail in there for it to work,
A pint of vodka and coke just for that you get
Oooooh yes, well, living in a dreamLiving the dream
