Of course, the inverse square law always applies to an specific point of a light source however if you have a lambertian surface (which we try to approximate with a soft box),  some mathematical ...

Here are a few from my gallery:  Since I am an old fart, all my images are old style. M2.  Kodacolour 90mm F2 !970. agfacolour

I am surprised to see this ancient thread again. Interesting that attitudes and style for some people and style do not change significantly.  Grab shots of lovely ladies are fun...

Outtakes from a shoot with Kseniia.

good comments Michael. Yes, I am missing out-door flash lighting.  Something I should try. Unfortunately;, I do not have the lighting skills nor post-processing skills to work in this genre .... It ...

Thank for the interesting comment Tedolph. Odd how people have different views of women.  I find Kseniia to be very appealing and interesting.  IMHO she worked well with Kats quickly designed wardrobe.

thankyou for the kind comment :)

Kat created a wardrobe for her friend Kseniia. Some images from the fun afternoon shoot..  Nothing serious... just an afternoon in the back yard !!! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Good concept overall.  However the model is in a stare-doown mood and does not seem to really get into the mood of the theme. she has artificial intensit that does not fit.

Maybe I overdid the noise on the B&W shot ... I will revisit my edit and probably change it. Here is a head shot ... outdoor daylight in the shade ...

I was playing with some retro style images of Galina ... This is a half frame crop that sort of works.   Of course, I was playing with the NIK filters... seemed appropriate??

Gee wizzzz...  Yup, if I could capture this I would love it.   It follows so many aspects of visual perception (call them rules if you like), some subtle, some not.  The stuff that "art" is made of: (1) ...

This was done with this posting and he chose this as "the answer to the question". The answer is in plain English with illustrations for explanation. When you RTFM, there is no guarantee that the ...
