hey

you're lighting on this piece is pretty good, with placement of the model and what not... though i feel the highlights are a little too burnt out.

this is a series of tutorials i've found very inspiring and informative when it comes to lighting.

i've got a real respect for good lighting... it's a vital element of photography that a lot of us forget about.

I still have a lot to learn.

aStormcrow In reply to saturninus [2007-12-18 21:16:06 +0000 UTC]

(i notice!!! hehe no..i really thought you used some other kind of lighting tech. or..tool )

hihi, az én hajam már elég hosszú ehhez a frizurához
kivételesen nem a csokit firtatom, mert a legyező színe -is- kárázatos, szóval ügyes vagy mint mindig

Beautiful.

Her hair is amazing - I can't wait until my hair is long enough so that I can do it like that (and like Princess Leia)!
As always, the colour, lighting and composition is fantastic. This is so rich and seductive, very immersive.

Don Giovanni is my favorite opera !
I imagined Evira more... restive and feverish, but the photo is great
