Since everyone seems to be in a (Café's very own) Laura groove I want to join the party with this shot from last week. We were using the fog machine and it passed heavily in front of the softbox creating this massive catchlight.
Great lighting. Soft--almost magical in appearance. The eyes do happen to look a little freaky--definitely not something that you see regularly. Perhaps this is what gives her/the image a "magical" appearance to them (that and the eye makeup, "poofy" hair). Good work. Sean
Excellant Woody. The individual elements of the capture are great and the eyes scare me!!! She has a supernatural look about her.
Great shot! The warmth of the color combined with the intensity of the lighting makes me think of yen-yang. Very cool! Ted B
Very interesting, and so artistic - I'm really enjoying the "Laura Grove". Hopefully I'll find a partner in crime in my area - I dying to veer off course as you do so wonderfully.
The lighting in this photograph is astounding............. on my poor old 17" crappy Dell uncalibrated heap of junk............... this looks 3D......... so you must have some special magic going on here Woody! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: As much as I'm trying to learn PP in relation portrait images......... looking at your post processing in your last few posts......... well, it's a humbling experience! As they always say........ practice makes perfect! I hope......... :redface: G
Looks more like some corneal disease in need of a corneal transplant!! I find those eyes disturbing despite her beauty!!
Thanks to everyone who responded. It is a strange thing to look at... I agree. But when you experiment you never know what you might wind up with.
