Pip the... (C&C)

Fajitas!

Pip said I never took a photograph of him. So I dragged him into the studio for 25 minutes during lunch for an impromptu shoot, with some random props, for no reason other than having a bit of fun. Serious fun...

Anyways.

Really like them all, especially the first one... it could be on an ad for something (not sure if that's a compliment!? I think it is!), but I'm not sure what!

Heh, probably for Lomography.com - But then again, their marketing strategies were so successful, they wouldn't need it

Cheers

Edit;

For anyone interested, First one was lit with a 60 x 30in softbox from behind me. Second was a gridded head coming from eye level from the right. Third was the same as the first. Last was the gridded head and softbox.

Processing for all involved changing white balance, curves and doing B&W & sepia's in Lightroom, followed by high pass sharpening in CS2.

+ 1, hopefully I will get some insight after Saturday.

Great shots Al, the first one is my favourite. I love the processing on that one.

Excellent shots and love the first one the toning is so delicate.. great set

Cabaal

really like the first and second one's

The first one is v.good. Nice quality about it. The second one is real class. Well done.

Excellent set Al. I'm going to buck the trend and plump for the mono - I think the lighting is spot (sorry - couldn't resist) on.

No. 1 ftw. Really like it.
Would love to know what you did to get that tone...

Fajitas!

Cheers everyone.

In-laws Christmas party in Thurles. And that gig date loooong fixed in stone.
At least I might find something interesting to shoot in Tipp while I'm sobering up on Sunday for the drive back to Dublin!

Annoyed, because I think I'd get a lot out of a knowledge sharing day - not having much yet!
