York Comic Con

[cowboy]

Yorks first comic con on Saturday so I popped along to try out a few ideas I wanted to try.

I used the Godox Ad360 with the fold up beauty dish and tried to catch the atmosphere of the character with the lighting.

I have others but haven't got round to processing them all as yet.

Love them - great use of low key!
Was it dark or did you just use a small aperture?

 

[juggler]

Great stuff, I especially like #1. I wonder if calming the highlight down a smidge might improve it?

 

[cowboy]

Thanks James.
The first three were indoors and the forth outdoors but under a high canopy out of the sun, I just shut down the aperture but it didn't need a lot.

Thanks Simon, I'll give it a try.

Nice job....

fold up beauty dish

hi mark I like these too. Any chance on telling which beauty dish you have. I have never used one before and have some birthday money I need to shift

Number 4 for me as just enough light to make the dress stand out... nice set though

Hi Gaz
This one here
Its the specific one for the Godox 180/360 as it fits the head.

 

[cargo]

I see thats a cool flash unit

Gaz

Thanks for the reply.

 

[grove39]

I was tempted to ask how you got these shots as the Flickr info says there was no flash. I'm guessing that doesn't show when it is off camera. Makes sense now.

 

[SlimShaney]

Nice set.

 

[andyred]

They're a nice set and some great characters, do like number 4 though, with the dress all shown and standing out from the dark background.

 

[step72]

Cool, nice set of images, I agree about turning the highlight down just a bit in #1.

 

[cowboy]

Cheers folks

A slight ruduction in the highlight on her face.

#1 & #3 for me. #3 pips it as it doesn't have the distracting background.

By the way, the title is wrong, it's "V" from the Alan Moore Graphic Novel "V for Vendetta" (Film version also available).
The Guy Fawkes mask was adopted by "Anonymous".

I like the second version of Catwoman, works well as a B&W.

I like them all, I can't wait to go to my first Comic Con at the NEC, a great opportunity for photos like these, where the subjects are more than happy to pose
