@Shashin et al: thanks for your kind comments. I was quite happy about the result, but as usual, the "second opinion" method did showed me the room for improvement. So I did a slight re-edit, took some pictures out, did some "Ken-Burns" to enhance the dramatic and shortened it a little bit.My first reaction is whether a Hasselblad camera would be identifiable to your target audience? It kind of starts as a camera commercial. Would a studio intro be better--some lights flashing and a set, but no model.
The second is I think tighter editing would help. There are some weak images in there (weak in relation to others) that are slowing things down. I would prefer a shorter and tighter video, then a longer ones with repetition. You want to have people leave wanting more than having their fill.
Otherwise it is up to your usual standards and great work.
Stan, this was a great representation of your work. The love tattoo and face splash of the opening model was especially effective I thought. :thumbs:Ah, well ... here it's Sunday evening, and I just gof finished with my newest project: a promotional video of my best shots in 2012.
Although it's not exactly what's posted here usually, I would absolutely love to get your comments on this video:
Best Shots 2012 - Vimeo
The video is NOT SAFE FOR WORK...!
And, if this is against some rule, please let me know!
Thnks

Jerome,It's nice (a bit long and slow even good Internet connection)
A question, what is your favorite lens(es) for your nude or beauty shots ?
Jerome
You will love the 100 2.2.. it's a gem and AF is very fast...it's also quite light..Jerome,
my absolute #1 is the HC 80 mm. It's glued to my cam, works in every way best and is the sharpest lens in my line-up.
#2 is the 50-110. It's bulky and very heavy, needs some more light for the AF to work, but the results are OK - although not as sharp as the 80 mm.
#3 is the HC 120 Macro. It's very slow in focussing and very heavy.
What I never used in beauty & nudes, is my HC 210 and my HC 35. The HC 210 is subject to sale, so I can free up some money for either the HTS or the HC 100 2.2 ...

You re edition is a success ! ExcellentJerome,
I re-edited it, and did a slightly more compression - this saves 10 MB...

What a surprise ! I mean, that's totally not me here
Jerome
Here is a rough and ready touch up of your image.
Some folks don't like to adjust an image to this degree but I like to search out how I experienced being in a certain place at a certain time - afterall what is reality.
I did not see the small village until you pointed it out but I would certainly highlight it in the image.
I will be in France in early July so I am looking forward to savouring some landscape through the lens.

I know that blur is part of the art, but something push me to be as sharp as possible everywhere. I don't know why, but it is that way.
You're version is very interesting and bring something, but I would not go that way
Anyway thanks for this !
I must say that I'm very proud that you spent some time on my photos. That is a very interesting exercise, showing that we react differently as photographers.Jerome
Hey that is fine, I guess the idea of a forum is that we expose our work and others can comment if they see fit.
I am sure that some people just shake their heads when they see what I post - but variety can be stimulating.
