a very back to basic serie, one light, no photoshop.

Heysoos Frank, you must be almost as old as I am!

I love that style of lighting; takes me right back to when I had my own studio from the mid-60s to the start of the 80s! There is something about simplicity that makes much of what I see of today's work look too contrived, artificial and clever for the sake of being clever.

But hey, ¿that's progress? No, that's me being too damn clever, but you get the picture...

For Frank:

Another single-light picture. Great lighting director, by the way...

Action pano-stitching. No, I wouldn't believe that either.

Wait until you reach my age, Frank: it's great to be thirty-nine and holding.

Love the closed eyes here Michael.

Thanks Frank:)!

There is small story behind the making of this image. I shot it during the April trip to Moscow in a rented studio with unfamiliar lighting equipment and overall studio setup.
The studio was top of the line, but not everything worked exactly as expected... the overhead lighting was very convenient, but I could not lock it in place.
As I was shooting, the softbox on the left slowly and quietly moved closer to the model leaving me with blown highlights. In my quest for recovery of this image I tried various raw converters. My findings are illustrated below.

Rawtherapee, a free raw converter, turns out to be a very capable software. Besides better highlight recovery (color propagation mode) it offers higher resolution of the render as it allows to completely turn off noise reduction, something that is not yet possible in ACR. At present Rawtherapee is not a workhorse for high volume raw processing, but it is a marvel to use for some images that need special attention.

@Michael,
That's some difference, no recovery with exposure on those other convertors ?

@Patrick,
that second one is absolutely world class in my opinion.

I like this treatment, how did you do that in details?

I like how the back and subject relate in terms of subject, but with an outdoor look, its hard to "believe" the lighting as it is multi directional in mid air.
