Image of the Month - Brian's Comments - "This
image was created by using a technique I call painting with light. The
main subject was a combination of 10 shots blended together. The smoke
was shot with a studio strobe in order to freeze it in place. All images
were blended together using Photoshop. Image and all layers were shot at
F5.6, ISO 100, 24-70mm lens at 70mm. Shutter speed was 1.3 sec." |

Jim's Comments "It's
a studio portrait of Brighton high school student Amber Vogel and shows
off her amazing flexibility. She is currently in San Francisco
auditioning for several ballet companies. The image employs six lights,
one main softbox light in front, one umbrella fill light in front, one
spotlight on her face, two backlights to wrap the light around her and
one light on the backdrop. " |

Yuttes's Comments - "I have always liked
Ladybugs and last summer I was able to get some shots of one sitting on
some twigs outside my house, and the macro assignment was a perfect
opportunity to use it. So I imported him (her!) onto one of my suitable
images of a Christmas Cactus that I had taken on my kitchen table.
Natural lighting was coming in from the window. I used some Photoshop
brushes to correct the lighting on the Ladybug and to sharpen some
areas. I also used brushes to enhance the stamen. I used a Canon macro
lens, 100mm – 1:2.8 set at aperture priority F6.3, shutter 3.2, focal
length 100mm, ISO 100. " |
