I think that my girls are tired of me making them my test subjects . Please tell me what you think.




i think 1 or 2 more candles might do the trick ,


The shadow is the only thing that i really dont like in this photo. Is there anything else that i can do ? I tried to get rid of all shadows but i didnt have enough candles and reflectors ..




thanks for looking ........... Shawn

Very nice. I like the B&W in particular.

hi

me too

I like the first shot. I think reflectors tend to lighten the shadows, so you can see the detail in them, without actually removing them completely.

im not sure i understand what you mean. In the first shot the shaddows arent " bad " . But the second shot , isnt the shadow to " harsh "? And i dont know near enough about PS to get rid of it . Thats why i try to " get it right " on film. LOL .

Shawn, I had a little twiddle with no1. Hope you dont mind.

I don't think the shadows in #2 are all that bad. Knowing that it is shot in candle light seems to make it ok. I think it's the nature of the beast with shooting candle light. It's like saying "why would you use candle light if you wanted such even lighting?" The lighting seems a bit harsh but thats it.

Rufus , no i dont mind at all . Looks great to me .

Peto, i understand what you are saying . I guess its the first thing i say in # 2 . I may of har her a little bit to close to the candle , hense the harshness .

I would think that when shooting in candle light you are looking to get a certain mood to your photo. I believe the shadowing is part of that mood. Candle size will make a difference as it will put out a certain amount of light. Also depending how far the candle is will determine the size of the shadowing. Close=less, far=larger.
