Priscilla Queen of the DessertActually, it's Kate. But it reminded me of Priscilla Queen of the Dessert.
Warning: nudity. First Second The second one had a bit of work done in Virtual Photographer, a filter plug-in for Photoshop, as well as deliberately introduced vignetting. Tell me if it works or not, or if I've gone too far in screwing with it.
Onyx - we are seeing you improve with each shoot u do!
I like both of these but the first one particularly seems quite over sharpened to me on my monitor. I prefer the 2nd image here. Well done brother! Geoff
Special Moments Photography Nikon D700, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4, 70-200 2.8VR, SB800 & some simple studio stuff.
The 2nd is definitely better than the first, although it's hard to get the full effect when you have to pan around inside a web browser.
Here I was expecting some twist to the pictures (maybe with some sort of confectionery) but apparently you meant desert instead of dessert. ![]()
Chi,
They're both very good, but you need to cut back on the sharpening that you're doing here. They're both oversharpened, and the first by quite a bit. In the first, look at the area where the underside of the model's left arm meets the background - there's significant haloing there. In the second, the feet almost seem to be lifted into a different plane from that of the rocks upon which Kate is standing. Not as bad as the first, but I think you're taking the sharpening too far, but then failing to pull it back enough. Cheerz. g.

Thanks for your comments. These shots came from the very first shoot I did, now 3 weeks ago, by which stage I just about knew nothing and had learnt nothing... well now, I had learnt from my Flickr gallery that some of what I find mundane other ppl tend to really like, and what I think are great shots others find ho-hum. So I'll increasingly post my crappy pics and see what the reaction is.
I am aware of the oversharpening, as these were prepared for printing - and it's also why they're a not web friendly 1440x960 res (at 240dpi, that's almost a perfect 6x4). And sorry, no sugary treats in this thread... I should learn me some grammar! ![]()
