The final result is actually quite appealing in the mood it creates

FWIW I really quite like the shot - something about the work your brain has to do to fill in the gaps.

Week Ten - Inspired by a Song
Game of Thrones Theme
Lit with an AD300 camera left and a RGB constant light on Camera Right set to blue to fill the shadows

Far better than the banner that was there (which we moved)
Hehe
I added the blue light for Ice (Ice & Fire). There are some others with a red shadow light too.
Cosplay. That's Ashley on the left (he does a great Pennywise too) and Dasha is on the right (she was cosplaying Rhaenyra the day before).

Week Nine - Time
This is both a literal take (the clock) and a throwback to times past.
The clock is all that is left of a large Unipart (British Leyland) motor factors, one that I used maybe 35 years ago for spare/replacement parts.

Vintage - well done on mastering those conditions to get the train pic. I think asa80000 should be one of the bi monthly tech challengers !
Song- nice picture and lit so well
Time - again very good and liked the juxtaposition with the ‘modern’ satellite dishes.

taThat's a nice take on the challenge
Quite basic lighting really, but worked nicely for them.
Yup. There are so few motor factors around these days (but then cars don't break as much either).
Cheers

Week 11 - The Colour Red
If you know the West End, you know where this is.
This jumped out at me as I was walking down to Park Cameras

Some great urban fragments Tim, I like the little bit of history that you provided in your time shot as well. I see that you have the same problem that I have with red traffic (or in your case "don't walk") lights turning yellow. I still haven't found a way to fix it.

Oh yes, impossible to ignore that one.

Yep, that’s red
The light turning orange is probably because I'm shooting into it, so it's over exposed.
Cheers everyone.

Week 12 - Daily Life
Just another day in the life of a fashion model.
Shot in the vicinity of St Paul's.
Natural, hard light utilised to light Shilpa's face, everything else being softer light bounced of the surrounding buildings.
Never be afraid to use hard light in portraits where it can give you dramatic looks.

It’s a good use of the light, and she uses it well. I liked the picture in Flikr where she is reflected in the window

Great shot Tim. I like the use of the light. It gives it a little grit and a little drama.

That (they) is also quite good I agree
It's not actually a window, it's a glass barrier at the top of One New Change, presumably to stop us falling off.
Thanks. It was fortunate that we had a sunny day which enabled the use of hard light along with a lot of fill from the light bonced off of the buildings.
And the buildings around there are quite a neutral gray which avoids colour cast
Thanks Allan
Whilst that wouldn't have been hard to do, it would have made it less real somehow (in my eye anyway - I guess viewers wouldn't know)
The beauty of many models is that they have the skin to be able to pose in hard light.
