What kind of background was this shot upon Danny?

**A.P. Photography** · 05-23-2006, 08:52 AM

I like the pic Danny and the methods used but here is two things that bother me a lil about it. The background is way too brite, her shoulders blend in to the background but certain times of day this is unavoidable. The second thing is the angle of her head makes way to many lines in the neck area.

Sky... The way the shot was setup is.. On my boat, there is a set of stairs going up to the fly bridge, I was kinda sitting towards the bottom and she is at the top. I got into a position soo the background was mostly blue sky with some clouds. THe sun was directly behind her, so i used fill flash to drop the background and correctly expose her face (to the best of my ability). The end result is what u see. I did NOT change the back ground, or really anything for that matter in photoshop (besides the obvious sepia effect and leaving the glasses as the appear in the original photo). I think the end result is half way decent.

dang, you got me there

lol those are the two things that bug me... lol.. i like the back ground, but the shoulder was unavoidable. and the angle of her head was neccesary (read my above post about how the shot was done)..

ohh, and this photo was not planned by any means, it was one of those "hey, wait, smile!!!" shots, I had little to do with the pose.

but yes, i might PS out some of those lines on the neck area, ill try that tonight.
thanks for the comments

**Danny** · 05-23-2006, 09:02 AM

anyone going to be up to critic my first ever 3D model?? i started last night, i will post tonight.. its a SpaceShip

called the DanBlaster... hahhaha.. what a ghey name

**Nemesis** · 05-23-2006, 09:03 AM

Ah gotcha, I like the picture a lot. Almost like an catalog picture for a brand of sunglasses. What kind of flash are you using? Im hopefully picking up an SB-800 or 600 in the next week or two.

**Nemesis** · 05-23-2006, 09:07 AM

by any chance, what is her name? You can PM if you are more comfortable with that, I think I know her from somewhere :confused:

**Danny** · 05-23-2006, 09:24 AM

Haha i see you scott in here!! Post man...

I use a SB800, but that shot was using the built in flash. its all in the metering and exp control. BUt.. the 800 would have been better, but like i said, it wasnt a planned shot so i didnt even have my 800 with me.

Nemisis here is her myspace, maybe u know her??? http://www.myspace.com/jsdsid

Robby I thought I told you to stop taking pictures of your ass.

LOL Just kidding. Looks amazing man! Both shots!

**ct9a gsr** · 06-04-2006, 12:56 AM

glowsticks + shutter speed + pitch-black room = fun

This picture was taken in 1 single shot with absolutely no photoshopping (besides cropping the pic down to 800x600)

**Pher** · 07-01-2006, 09:05 PM

I'm not sure if this thing is still going but lets see...

This was done with a 5mp Point and Shoot Casio.

**Boneswiss** · 07-01-2006, 09:12 PM

Excellent pics Dean. I'm really liking the sunset pic. Excellent colors.
