November 2013 portraits

[Ari]

Ari the second portrait is incredible on all fronts. The pose,framing within the greenhouse, focus and DOF is perfect to draw attention to your subject. Just stunning, I keep going back to look at it again.

Beautiful images!

Thank you, Anthony and Ed!

Nice Kav!

Did you get my APUG message?

Thanks Stone!

I had not gotten it, but have now read it. Responding to you tonight.

Here's one of mine, my first time shooting 8x10 Impossible Project film. My rim light ended up blowing out one side of my head but I'm OK with it... It's hard setting up lights when you are the subject! Lens is a 300mm Konica GRII process lens.

Great self-portrait, Anthony, and that IP film looks really nice.

Agreed! If I had an 8x10 I wouldn't mind the IP'a price, it's finding a processor that's the hard / expensive part. Lol

Positioned where it seems to be I would call that a kicker not a rim light.

How did you get this selfie to be tack sharp? Did you use some sort of head brace?

Kav are you the guys that had to use the three wheel bike to pick up parts while in afghanistan? I read in an after action report about using a 3 wheeler to go and get parts for planes.

I doubt he can talk openly about his missions

Er.. whoops you are right it was a kicker, not a rim. I had a grid on it but it still spilled over the side of my head more than I wanted. I should have kept it simple with just the one umbrella I used for key and a piece of white foam to reflect some fill.

I used a string with a piece of tape on it to set focusing distance, measured using a light stand as a stand-in. I put a one of those bellows factor discs on the light stand so I could set focus and adjust my exposure at the same time. You can see my glasses are sharp but actually my eyes are not quite sharp. This was shot at about f19.
