both the lighting and the processing here are outstanding. I would be interested in hearing more details.

doilyboy (Martin Grey Gottlieb) said 7 months ago:

I agree. Would love to know how you did this...

refocus (andy kämpf) said 7 months ago:

Thanks for the comments and questions!

1. the shooting was done with 2 permanent lights + 2 strobes
2. adding the background / texture according to the brown tones in the image
3. dodging / burning
4. selective toning
5. selective sharpening / blurring
6. some high pass filter

The processing is just an individual process on each image so it is very hard to do the same for all or upcoming images..
thats why i can't give a brief description for the processing. ;-)

maybe you got an idea of the points i have given.

cheers Andy!

Thanks hayfellows; I'll have to look up John Davies I'm afraid, this is the last coal fired power station owned by British Energy.

Me encanta esta fotografĂ­a, su procesado, sus colores. Todas son estupendas pero esta tiene algo especial.

Thanks for your comments!

It is in my hometown Erfurt / Germany @ the "Petersberg" the famous fortress above the DOM. You see the caserne of the gate keepers.

thanks for the comment on my guitar! I love the expression you've captured here.

Beamer (Clyde Beamer) added a critique 8 months ago:

Great expression, great capture!! Your highlights are a bit overexposed and blown out. This would have more impact with a more square cropping. The bottom doesn't buy you anything and the eye really wants to focus on her face.

Great work!!! you had a great model and the moment with the snow is perfect. Her face says a lot of things.

Ludimaginary (Richard Vantielcke) added a critique 7 months ago:

Nice frame, great contrast with the white of th snow/background and the red of the hairs...
I like it.

refocus (andy kämpf) added a critique 7 months ago:
