Thought I needed to put a lot more effort into this week theme, jump right outside my comfort zone and try something I've never tried before...........skin and low key lighting
What a blooming nightmare :banghead:
Hats off to mi model again, (although I had to talk her into it
). I had this idea of just exposing nothing but her legs and the red of the shoes. Her knickers were black and I wanted them to blend into the black bg completely (which I sort of achieved)
I'm not all that happy with the out come, its ok but given another go I think I could get better results. I've definitely learned from doing it. Lighting was done with torches and tissues used as diffusers taped onto tripods
My own crit would be...
1, I'm not a lover of the harsh shadow on the inside of the left thigh
2, it needed a little more light on the left a*se cheek to emphasise the shape of the knickers to match the right side, this might also have help to diffuse the harsh shadow??
3, its a little soft which I think is more than likely down to her slight movement over the 8 second exposure
No pp other than adjustments in ACR
Honest crit more than welcome but please don't feel you have to comment, I'm still way behind
Edit- just thought I'd add, she really is that brown
She's asked me to leave it private on flickr
2nd Edit- seeing as it's private on flickr settings were 8 second exposure, f 5.6, ISO 400
So here we have
