Lindsay-Anne on the stairs

Shot at an abandoned mental health facility.

Somewhat retouched shot that originall had Glen's head on the right, and a distracting railing on the left. One of many where the background lights didn't go off for me so b&w was the natural choice..

Strobist: SB-600 into home-made beauty dish high and almost dead on, 1/2 power.

    I like this one. Her expression is quite effective, and I like the pose.

    Agreed, good expression. Some more context of the environment may make it grab attention more.
  • David de Groot said:
    Thanks Rob, yeah I liked the expression on this one too.
    Context would have been more obvious had I not had to crop Glen out on the right hand side. Also a 50mm prime in those tight confines also tends to be a little limiting, and 20mm was way too wide.

    Yet more evidence that you need a 35/1.4L. :-)
  • David de Groot said:
    Well yes.... but I *need* a 70-200/2.8L IS first. Ideally before June 7th.

    This came out well. Nice job.

    A bit more of Glen on the right hand side would have made this shot 'pop' for me - maybe crop the model out a bit to fit him in there?
    She does look good in B&W I'm going to have to try a few of those.

    Thanks Mike :) I see you've been doing a fair bit of studio stuff lately too.
    Well I can send you the original with your blurry head in it if you'd like ? ;-)

    Very nice Dave. I guess it also doesn't hurt that she's a fairly stunning girl.

    B&W works well on Lindsay. But then, I've always been partial to B&W for portraits.
