April 12, 2005: High Key #2

Windsor, ON, Canada

We wanted to take another stab at extreme high key lighting.
Unfortunately, my white backdrop didn't cover the floor so,
I had to crop a bit of ugly rug out, sacrificing Sharon's sexy high heels. :(

Canon EOS 20D ,AB B800 (fill),AB B800 (background)
1/200s f/13.0 at 25.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

well done, Ray. very well done.

WOW man she sure looks so slim at times and at other times a full bodied buxom sexy woman. I it her or your camera angle or is it both!! the crop does distract but i vote that it actually adds to the allure and mystery of the image even though one knows whats at the end. You naughty devil-- you have managed to create a debate with this one!!

@ your best!!

This is actually quite nice even with the crop. Good job!

That's great, I can't have been the only one having the same problem (or maybe I was) in which case I'm going blind, I blame your pictures :-)

Thanks everyone.

JPH - Yep, I'm really bummed about the shoes and plan to revisit this one once I get some proper background. Currently, my only white background is a bed sheet. :(

Eric - I'm changed the comment color to be a bit more white. Let me know if you still have difficulty reading the comments.

Your best so far.
Can you change your settings so that the comments are easier to read?

Too bad about the need to crop at the bottom, Ray. That would be my one and only criticism of this very good photo. The crop is a bit akward down there (especially now that we know what we're missing). Otherwise, terrific work. I like the near high-key approach, the pose (the hair!) is wonderful, and of course, your model is impeccable. Nice work.

Really well done here Ray. You're getting nothing but better.
