Default A Midsummer Night's Dream

Senior shoot a month or so back.

From DPS


EXIF:
shutter speed - 1/250
f/stop - 4.0
ISO - 800

How's the lighting and the post work? Can you guess what time this picture was taken? You can see a larger image by clicking on the link.

I like images with a bit of drama and so really like this! Postwork looks ok to me (altho it is getting late and my eyes a bit tired!) As to the lighting I'm no expert but her chest is a lot lighter than her face and arm and is therefore distracting.

Thank you. I wasn't sure about the chest/left shoulder when processing it but didn't want to say anything to see if anyone else notced it or if it was just me.

I like it. Agreed about the chest lighting. My only other note is that the sliver of white along the top (mostly at the top right) is distracting. It looks like the backdrop ends in your shot and that little bit needs to be cropped out.

Hope that makes sense.

Thank you. I know what you're talking about. That's part of the roof of the building behind her.

I could probably burn that whole strip a bit to get the exposure down some.
