Flaming Hot Cheetos Chemistry

Today again a before / after

"So at the request of my wife, I will respect the process lose a few more words!"

On the 1st of picture, you see the pure output image as it came out of the camera! No real masterpiece, I still should have used a flash! I'm not able to wish him in the picture but have the result you see in the last picture! The 2nd picture is the 1st Raw conversion in ACR ! The 3rd picture is a contrast enhancement via a new layer in soft light mode! Then came a little skin and some color retouching corrections! Dodge & Burn agent was modeled and imitated the forgotten Blitz! Then there was another last short cut and was ready to enlarge!

Who wants to see in full view goes to the portfolio and considers it like a clearer there!

About comments and criticism I would be very happy!

Kind regards Micha

continuous shooting movie: export smart version 1.0

us Is not that sometimes all that? Instead of discipline to make beautiful photo to photo, just the finger and press leave the shooting rattle. But what then? Usually you're spoiled for choice and takes only a few pictures before. And the rest? Does the scroll quickly in LR but quite funny and almost like an old film - so why not do with Photoshop. Since then I still had too many clicks of the mouse I simply wrote a script, which I obviously share with you.

hire of equipment!

Actually, every time I stand before the question ... "What I need now to take pictures?"
often rich in a few pieces of equipment to create good photo's! On the other hand, makes you look even thought to record the photo's and notes. "Shit, I just do not have the equipment to implement the so-were intended as, or is abandoned!"

Does one have the same purchase now!
I say NO!

I follow always enthusiastic amateurs, who after half a year of their new camera, want to sell them again to get a newer device to create! WHY?? Many
not even be able an elaborate to shoot good photos! (Please feel now is not attacked, it's just my opinion)
Anyone interested in everything but the topic that I can recommend to today's post by Martin Krolop that deals with the subject equipment intesiv mania!
http://www.krolop-gerst.com/blog/fashion_for_beginners/beginner-peoplefotografie-stop-den-ausrustungswahn/

Inspired by this, I wanted to point out a solution or give you a tip!

I think it is absolutely impractical, if I "lying around" a crazy array of camera's, lenses and other equipment got it! I say lying around on purpose, because it is most like that! Go to your about a photo shoot with 5 lenses, 3Kamera's etc.? So I do not ...
I have 3 lenses, of which one is a kit lens which I use more often! My other 2 I always use! Depending on the nature of the shoot I take with me sometimes my 2nd camera as a backup, but need not always be! See your it as my opinion, not as a ne plus ultra solution for everyone!

The better solution, I think, but if necessary, for the rental or lending of certain equipment! It also allows me time with other equipment to To photograph such as a medium format system, which would afford me to present financially impossible! But also access to special lenses, or light shapers such as a ring flash that I would need in only rare!

"I had as yet not once, but this year I've also made me look!" :-D

With commissions the rest can be passed the rental costs for equipment, in most cases the customer . It remains untouched by the costs, at least the author Michael Gelfand writes in his book "Fashion Photography" ! His thoughts I would like to bring to and add your own experiences!

benefits of renting / borrowing:

• previous test of equipment before the actual purchase (I find it very important, as a decision may be easier if I ever need)
• special recordings would not have been possible (of course with the existing knowledge, because, you know it already, the equipment contributes only and does not make the photo!)
• most in any big city you have the possibility of lending of equipment, but also a Photo partner or friends can help out (if I'm just back staying in Munich come I also relatively easy to equipment that I sometimes need and to)

disadvantages of renting / borrowing:

• depending on where their hires (in regional terms, or suppliers) it comes to large variations in price between the same parts (as it was in Munich and in various shops, the same equipment, but at different prices)
• there where it is usually lower, was the material have frequently awarded happen (can that you will not get the desired material, a previous call to the rescue)
• you can also depending on the provider not get everything, maybe missing your look carefully sought Equipment (lists, phone calls and requests can also help here)
• for me personally the biggest problem for me is, if I Where else rentals, as with me as I have to shoot in Munich and then in Saxony, is a mad effort to transport, chronologically, I must pay the nunmal mitzahlen as lease

Despite all this the all male, in my view, since it is still cheaper than buying new equipment in certain parts! Where to rent

I?

This is usually up to you, which I can not tell! has a view of the World Wide Web has often helped me!
I'm personally in Munich for most CALUMET ( http://www.calumetphoto.de// )! They have a relatively wide range of equipment at relatively reasonable prices! But what I think is best, a professional consulting, you gain not getting anywhere! In most cases you will get valuable tips from the vendors that also show you other options!
I'll hang times on the list, as you can see so price times what it could cost you!

So for now, enough!
I hope you could also promising even give a hint! plan

Own image critique in hindsight to be!

Inspired by a video of Martin Krolop http://www.krolop-gerst.com/blog/
times today I would like to address the issue image critique in hindsight !

something straight away. Until recently, I've done in the studio or via histogram of the exposure of my pictures! This is tedious, time consuming and not really purposeful, because I had read the available light is always subjective in the bar chart!

That changes now, because I put a reasonable meter risen have! I would refrain no longer, I shall add, even without a model can now objectively see the amount of lights!

My advice:

"Those who work in the studio comes, sooner or later, not around a light meter!"

Now to the actual topic!
Now it is probably every way you make when looking at the pictures after the fact at once errors are discovered that you should not have, or would at least have a notice as a photographer!
So also with me ...
can now say again but one that can save Photoshop certain things. In my view, It may not have been intended that I edit in retrospect must disappear for ever let my blunder to shoot at! So overall I
times today published a picture from a series and will look to show times and error, and what I really like!

Here is an example image:

The image is "out of Cam and was received with 5 flashes!
a main light in the form of a Octabox behind me! 2 Highlights , in the form of 2 Strip Lights angle behind the model. 1 hair light , which has a small Octabox was on the model! And the last lightning was a standard reflector with a grid (honeycomb) for the background! The

as benchmarks for the subsequent more detailed examination of the picture!

Let's start with the negative points!

like What I do:

1. The illumination of the background ! Wanted a spotartigere illumination was behind the model. I should have used so better tube as attachment for the flash!
2. I would take the Octabox, rather them take a Dish , the Plastität of the models, and the clothes would have better brought to bear. (Of course obliquely from above) This would, however, a course on the model magic. I think in this case would be a 6ter flash with Dish as the main light and fill light Octabox been a better solution. I have not seen, so I have to live with it.
3. The case of the dress below ! Due to the wide case, and the relatively narrow image section occurs before the viewer as if the model is still relatively strong hips, which in reality was not so!
4. The small finger of your left hand, spread apart!
5. The folds on chest, could have been put better! But I did not just get seen!

But all is still the same bad!


What I liked:

1. The closely linked hair leave, effect lights come into their well and separate the best model from the background.
2. The staring into the camera speaks directly to the viewer, I find precisely such glances at the camera extremely fascinating, because I immediately addressed as a viewer feel
3. The intensive, yet distanced view of the model, fits well with the Farbichkeit of the image together, which is underlined by gray and blue tones a cool atmosphere
4. The nose and chin shadows my opinion fall and sit perfectly nice central location. Solely had the the Lichtcharacteristik can be stronger bothers me here!
5. What I do not like about the the arms . Thus I find the film editor and I support the best use of the grazielen body of my models!
6. What else I find good, close the section above and below, where you should consider it just the outfit.

All in all I like the image very well! Nevertheless, I must confess that I had 2-3 more Patzer to notice!
is the nunmal ... But you have his pictures just sometimes can take down!

I hope this post could you take something for you and your works sometimes viewed from a different light!
Mir hats again at least helped, particularly with regard constructive criticism, as only a "malign" brings an image to that little. You better tell him also what you had done differently and why!

In the sense

Less is sometimes more!

Today for some time once again explain how the accompanying picture was taken and processed was!

As its title of the post suggests, it is this is a recording with relatively few resources . And so it was! Was used a single light source !
Oh the picture that I am curious ...? Why not a model! Well one just has not always been a spontaneous model available, or has time. Of course it would have been a better solution, because as a model, I do not own me so real!
But that was not right! Primarily focused on the education and training of my assistant, not the excellent photo's. Technical refinement and error analysis were at the forefront!

This has arisen as far as the background, to what extent the picture!

camera settings: ISO 100, 1/125sec, f 8.0

The case is set main light was based on the desired effect we record! We wanted both a relatively hard, but not too hard illumination! Therefore came to us the Dish than light formers in question! That we are slightly above added by me as a model to a drop shadow to generate the image and thus give the image depth!

The strength of the flash, we have a working aperture of 8.0 f are measured as the background in the image should be sharp!

Who looked closely, which recognizes no reflections on the glasses of the flash can be seen. But how is this possible ...
This is relatively easy ... Flash installed simply click!

For something harder, or even spotartigere illumination lighting, I recommend using a comb on Dish, or maybe even a tube ! The honeycomb directs the light, but creates a even greater brightness gradient on the model. That was with us but not necessary, because the flash was relatively close to the model and this went so came about anyway!

At the end, the processed image :

The light falloff was further elaborated by means of Photoshop to the viewer's attention even more strongly in the direction of the face. Through the Black and White conversion was dramatized by the image of my thoughts on and captivates the viewer!
