This is me! :)

In the studio I often use to many strobes. So, today I forced my self to work with one beauty dish and no reflectors or fill light, just for the fun of it. :)

I know that "too many strobes" approach - I need to follow your example and simplify the lighting - your portrait is beautifully lit in my opinion.

A couple from this morning scouting for the CI workshop. Quick laptop edits but you get the idea.

Cambo AE, IQ180, HR40, both single exposure stitched panos.

Ed,

Nice! I suppose I can just ask next week, but how on earth do you stitch ocean waves? I've never managed it.

I'm also a bit concerned that Ed is using up all of the photographs in Maine. I hope that there are still some left for the rest of us. :ROTFL:

Many thanks for the kind likes for my sunflower images, gents!

Much appreciated - especially in view of the other superb photographs posted on this forum.

Thanks Mal!

Somehow I have started to think "since I have all this equipment I have to use it all at the same time". I had a big shoot last week and it was a 3 hour drive from my studio. When I arrived I had forgotten three soft boxes. I had to rethink and in the end I did not need them. I found a new look for the customer that gave more depth to the images thanks to the shadows.

Nice shot, but i feel it is flat, or that B&W didn't show the true beauty, so i would like to see this shot in colors if available.
Hi Tareq!
Glad you liked the composition.

This picture was from the start meant to be presented in B/W.
I did use a linear polarizer and a ND-filter to "squeeze" some dynamics out of the clouds.
So the color version looks a bit strange with color cast in a big part of the sky due to the polarizer.

The original scene was rather "tonally flat", and that was one of the things I liked about this scene.
There is tonality from roughly 255 all the way down to 0 in this picture.
But the majority of the area is in a rather tight and bright "tonality region".

This was a reaction to all the burning sunsets I had for about 4 weeks in August.
I become a bit burned out with this kind of views, so to say.
And I think I am still a bit over-sensitive to over-saturated pictures,
I now prefer autumn leaf in mist rather than in bright sunlight :D
