Re: OT PESO - Waves
Great pose, really dynamic hair, Dave. I agree that her hair could use more contrast from the background. I'd suggest some light on the background to make it a lighter gray; or backlighting her hair -- not too much; or side-lighting her hair, parallel with her shoulders from camera right. Backlighting her hair would give a very different look from this, of course. On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 9:42 AM, David Savage ozsav...@gmail.com wrote: What do you suggest?

Re: OT PESO - Waves
Being contrary again: Depends on the effect you're trying to achieve. Water waves are often not particularly contrasting, and if you're echoing water waves, this seems like an effective composition. In addition, by not highlighting the hair, you focus more attention on the face/shoulder. (It's called Waves, but my eye gets drawn to the face, making the hair a punctuation.) If you really want to focus on the hair, you'd need to make the face less compelling. My question about the composition is whether that shutter speed is what you want. Probably don't want it any slower or it'd be too blurry, but maybe faster for the sharp/frozen effect. On Sun, Feb 17, 2013, Bruce Walker wrote: Great pose, really dynamic hair, Dave.

Make the shutter speed any faster you then run the risk of being outside of the cameras sync. speed. All the comments are interesting all seem to assume that I was specifically shooting a hair toss, when in actual fact it was the result of alcohol induced shenanigans.
