An darned good job of compositing, Dave. I really like the resulting image itself for the composition. Those stairway lights and curves form nice leading lines right to the model's face. The overall lighting is nicely balanced. I think that those lights in the parking lot lend a dramatic "she's in the spotlight" effect, myself (although she's actually lit from the other side).
With the knowledge that it's a composite, I looked closer and I can see a *very* faint shadow around the model. If you painted in some of the goldish colour of the backlighting it would remove that tiny hint. Anyway, great job, Dave. I think you're now almost ready to move up to Pentax shooting. ;-) On Fri, Dec 30, 2011 at 9:52 AM, David Savage <ozsav...@gmail.com> wrote: > Now for my confession: This PESO is actually a composite of 2 separate photos. > > I shot the model in the studio a couple of weeks ago & shot the > background frame this week. > > I'm on holidays, it was stupidly hot outside & I was bored so I > decided to give it a shot. > > All-in-all I think it turned out alright. > > I'm doing a studio shoot/PS compositing workshop next weekend with a > local Perth boy who now lives & works in Southern California: > > <http://strobist.blogspot.com/2011/11/dean-bradshaw-putting-pieces-together.html> > > Once I've done the workshop I can revisit it & have another go using > what I learn at the workshop. > > Cheers, > > Dave > > On 30 December 2011 13:02, David Savage <ozsav...@gmail.com> wrote: >> G'day All, >> >> Just for s#!ts & giggles: >> >> <http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7026/6592249649_ff6bdb5d3c_o.jpg> >> >> Critique away. >> >> Cheers, >> >> Dave -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
