Nice shot, but I really think you need to take you're foot off the sharpening peddle a tad - makes my eyes hurt a bit, tbh.

Well, I am awfully sorry with you overreacting guys for being guilty of using a little, humble overused old 5D, but since I read the forum using "view new posts" I didn't realize I was in the sacred territory of the Medium Format. What's wrong with you people? Where did all the politeness go in these forums?

Leonardo Barreto · « **Reply #264 on:** November 17, 2008, 05:47:43 pm »

Oh yea, this is a ferociously guarded territory where people log on just to see how "professional" you are or if the EXIF of your image smells to smaller format (particularly 5D's). I do log on to see people attacked on the spot, but it is getting a bit tiresome.

So true. Its not how big your camera is, its how you use it.

Sergio,

It doesn't bother me that you use a 5D, but I am curious as to why you are proud of that particular headshot. Assuming you shot what the client wanted, your 'cover' appears to be less of a reflection of the work you are capable of, and more of a statement of low expectations of your client. I'd be curious to see the end product. Nice stuff on your website by the way!

Gidday,

Things you do to get the shot for the client.

After I took these shots I was carefully walking off the unfinished bridge and accidently knocked the camera and the Leaf back fell off.
It was like slow motion as it landed on one of the few planks and slide a few centimetres from the edge of the bridge.

Fortunately the external battery took the impact and the back was unharmed.

A very scary moment.

Cheers

Simon

A bit in B&W and two color.
Shot for several occassions.

For the jump shot, ranger RXspeed with an A head to freeze the motion.

Camera on all Mamiya RZ67ProII 180mm and Leaf Aptus22 back.

The first two images are my favorite that I've seen from you. The B+W files and model have an edgy editorial look

Frank,

I really like the first three. Love the grain on the first two.

Here's something I put together basically for practice, there aren't many Citroen's in the US so I thought it would make a good sample. I've included the before so that you can get an idea of the retouching that is common in this type of photography. I shoot for parts of the car and assemble them as seen, in this example the only variations were a direct light version and a reflected light version which were merged. Jim

Nice B&W Frank - second shot left eye needs looking at.

Jim:
Great Lesson! So the intense color is from a direct light? How many light sources do you use for the direct lightning one? I would love to see the direct light version if you could:)
Thanks a lot for your sharing! It's always a pleasure to see your works!
Regards,Dustblue

Dustblue, The direct light does make the color vibrant but there are other adjustments made. The vehicle is completely pathed out so that the sheetmetal can be separated from every other part of the car, then I can adjust the color, contrast, etc. In this case I had two direct lights on the vehicle, one from directly above the car, another from the left side hitting the front.
