Kris nice crop have you tried a frame yet??

James

Thank you all for your kind comments I'm very grateful

This image turned out better than I expected and it’s a shame about the water splashes but they will have to be cloned out as I have sold three prints already, In fact the people I’ve shown the image to have asked did you take this image or down load it from the internet I don’t no weather to feel insulted or delighted?


James

Ok well i'm back from holiday with some images

some are ok and some are average

This is my first go with my new ND filters and to be honest it's harder to get feed back from your camera when the sun is on the LCD screen so I just took some images and then altered the exposer and snapped away changing the exposer at every shot until I had to move because the tide was coming in fast.

Now my better half love this shot and would like to give it to her parents as a gift.

my question is this can you recommend a crop I would like a long thin crop but would this work or a standard A3

Thank you for take the time to comment in advance

James

To be quite honest I don't think any think would work right just look at the stats for this poll thread

and ONLY 16 have bothered to vote

I rest my case

James

I wonder if the rules should change a bit.

ie images for the weekly competition must be taken with in 4 months
of the date of comp then it might inspire people to enter a current image and not rely on back catalogue of images.

and if judge is putting people off why not have a voting system their people can have three votes in one competition or appoint a judging panel of three to five people.

we could also set up a prize if needed I would donate 50p to £1.00 a month and if twenty people did this we could have as much as twenty pound prize money.

James

Well just come back from holiday and read your interesting comments g

Thank you for pointing out the finer points. To be fair I post images here to have them Criticised and for comments.

and my image has been well and truly criticised.
I don't think the model is board I think it was just a laps in concentration as the other images are better.
In my hast to upload this image for C&C i didn't pick the best ones

O" and I have a full head of hair

James

Alan and Tim

valuable observation again thank you.

I quite like the right leg and foot but wished I'd see the toes of the left foot.

I must admit it's one hell of a big step from head shoots to full length.
Gareth try looking at this man good trailer I may even buy his video

James

Gareth

lighter is brighter as the going goes did you see in the wind video early this year.?

I think if it was just head shot you can get away with two lights but not full body.

James

any way i'm pleased with the shot and the young lady is over the moon

Ok Gareth hears is the lighting

You wasn't far off so to put you out of your misery hear goes

Four studio heads and 4 reflectors where used

1 Rear right hand side light with a soft box 40cm x 120 cm.

2 Rear left umbrella white (shoot through) pointed to her right hand side but also at the background.

Two 6ft flags to stop fall off.

Two gold reflectors, to add colour and to lighten shadow.

3 Front right side 8ft hex soft box for really soft light.

4 Front left beauty light just to fill in on her face.

Gareth hope that make sense and thank you for trying

James
