20090129 - TITTC High Key

For the TITTC: High Key

Also for the Flash Us and Minimalism challenges for January.

I was thinking of doing 'hikey' boots, but it's getting late!

Does high-key count as 'minimal' though???? At least the minimal challenge has given me lots of high-key practise this month :))

This is straight from the camera - no need to fiddle with curves or levels and stuff when you're spoiled rotten and have three flashguns to play with :-)

Sheila30-Jan-2009 01:25
This is superb exposure. The 'proper' way to do high key.
Guest 30-Jan-2009 01:15
3 flashguns, thats the old way of doing high key, nowadays its 5 to 9. But I see it still works.

Nancy Lobaugh29-Jan-2009 23:25
perfect... and they look like they were properly triangulated, and you have the requisite amount of 'pink'!

JW29-Jan-2009 21:49
I don't understand this high key business, but then I don't have all the gear needed!

Great effect tho!
Guest 29-Jan-2009 21:31
Any more light and you'd need sunglasses.
Lucky the camera took the pic before your pupils reacted.
Well done.
