Why don't you like 1.2 Clown? You've never really said. Get out, doesn't really explain much.

That was me being jealous

I don't know if anyone normal would have anything against an aperture setting?

I call that process the Ksanti look! Saw him post it first and had to create a similar custom preset through inspiration.

Nice!

Cheers mrk.

Yeh, I noticed your BW's were similar, although I'v added some controversial 'grain' in my preset.

I was baffled

It looks awfully flat to me. Their heads literally blurred into the background.

mrk · 13 Dec 2012 at 13:43

Heads look defined to me here, well the guy's head less so but still visible. Work monitors are calibrated^^

Yes.. that's the style of the picture Raymond.

That was seen in my work computer, it looks more separated on my phone.

Although style aside. Should try to avoid having a line cutting across their heads in the future. It's shot too low, would have more impact if the background is the light rather than the shadows.

Ps still not a fan of the processing, sorry!

umm not a big fan of that PP but nice composition overal!

I don't mind the processing other than the huge grain

About 10 days ago I started shooting portraits, my first attempts had fairly decent results. I was doing tests for lighting, for a video of an Opera singer. I have that pretty much locked down... this is my latest, again with a music video in mind. I am very much enjoying shooting... I love portraiture, so I'll be hanging with you fellow portrait shooters in this thread from now on!!

Damn you and your pretty looking friends

Not sure on the hand placement on the first one, it looks odd, perhaps its the way she is holding it but as always you got the lighting nailed and the composition too.

An Exception · 17 Dec 2012 at 07:27

Love the reflections one mate.. really nice.
