Thank you guys.
It was lit by Bron Para 220 with 170 diffusion cloth attached in the center of it. I very much like the effect which is a mixture of soft center with contrasty edges.

Lovely shot. Did you add some grain effects in post?

Abdul,
Para light can be focused exactly on a subject it also has extreme wrap around effect, Softbox light is always diffused.

Yes, I add a bit of grain to most B&W prints. It adds a character. Printed on Museo Silver Rag looks very good.

Grain like in noise, or is this something different?

Andre,

A beautiful interpretation of an iconic image. Love the subtle expression on her face.

May I inquire which lens you used for that shot and what lens would you typically use for the head and shoulder portraits shown on your website?

Thank you.

Richard

Come to think about it, it sounds like a para acts like a big reflector, creating focused but soft light because of its large size relative to the subject.

It is Rz67 with 110mm A75
Vest majority ( 90+ % ) of my work is shot with this combo.
I use Voigtlander 58mm on D3 and occasionally 85/1.4 but in general prefer shorter lenses.

Thank you Andre. I was asking in view of your post earlier in the summer in which you indicated drifting more to D3 and D3x. That seems to be the way the world is going .... at least as seen through the window of the Lu-La Forum.

Shot these two yesterday and processed them last night (client has a Monday deadline and I still have 5 more to go). This shot was fun, except for the fact that I had to gel the windows for the second shot; I hate gelling windows, especially high windows!

P.S. I also cut 28 squares of "1/2 minus green" gels and taped them into tubes, then placed them onto the CFLs in the wall lights, that was a little annoying too.

They look good Joe!

Hey Joe,

In the first shot you've got sort of a general area of green contamination around the reception desk. Often what I'll do for a quick fix in an area like this is to create a Hue/Sat adjustment layer, select the green channel (cyan sometimes) and desaturate till that goes away (targeting the area with color picker if necessary). Then to localize it, I'll fill the mask with black and softly paint back in the adjustment in to the contaminated areas.

Cool Shots,

CB

Actually... in this shot you could probably just desat the whole green and cyan channels to clean it up since there doesn't appear to be any desirable green things in the composition (ie plants)

Paris, Jan. 2011

Original costume from the movie Burlesque.

CB, thanks for the tip and spotting the green cast. I guess the couple drinks I had last night while processing was a couple too many.

Glad you like them.

Here's my latest labor of love. It's a 1938 Delage, a very rare French vehicle, which just underwent an extensive 5 year restoration. I think James's lady would look very comfortable in it! Jim

Please tell me you get to drive these cars from time to time.

Joe, it seems like there are allot of randomly cut off objects in the edges of those interiors. It makes the spaces seem visually cluttered.

JoeKitchen · « **Reply #2759 on:** January 23, 2011, 01:39:23 am »

That is a good assessment, Kirk, and something to keep in mind when staging.
