Fancy! Just as as quick tip, it feels like you should be either a little tighter or a little further back. Right now, it sort of feels like you're clipping your hand and head rather than cropping. What'd you do to get the lighting effects? |

Thanks for the advice Josh. I was trying to stay tight on this one but I guess I didn't go tight enough. There is a TD5 Spiderlite to camera-left and an SB-900 speedlight to camera right. The general effect is pretty easy to pull off in Lightroom: 1) Set recovery, fill light, contrast, and clarity to 100% 2) Drop the saturation and vibrance 3) Lower some of the settings in step 1 - to taste 4) Bring up the blacks The image is going to look terrible until step 4 All the best, reed |
