This is my take on Thai boxing performance from Thai Songkran festival that we shot yesterday.

As Wayne already mentioned lighting was bad, so I did B&W conversion. Shot at ISO1000, f2.8. All shots were with Nikkor 50/1.4.










C&C are more than welcome.

Thanks

Alex

Ouch!

The second or third would make nice tourism ads

Cheers

As each day passes and every time I look at your pics taken with that 1.4 I'm really yearning to get the 1.4.

Alex, play around with increasing the shadow levels and watch your b&w pics come to life

Thanks for the comments, guys. Wayne: I tried increasing shadows with shadow and highlight but that makes skin tones way too dark, to the point of looking too unnatural. May be I'm missing something.

Nice work Alex. Great dramatic action series.

Wayne. Interesting. They look ok on my CRT at home and on another CRT at work. When I go to LCDs they look a bit light. I will make it a point to increase shadows next time a bit even if it looks a tad dark on CRT at home. I tweaked my home CRT to the lab where I do occasional printing (you know the lab )
