B★RS Silhouettes
Tue 2010/07/06 12:27 JST
Thought I'd share some silhouette shots from my recent brs review. Wasn't quite able to execute it the way I wanted so it's not the pure black on white I wanted -_- Instead took a monochrome version over the color version and erased away the flame part to give the pic a little color. ah well.
For fun some regularly lit pics included as well~
Brilliant pics!
Wished my photography skills were as good as yours(* _ω_)...
Vvvvvvvvvvvery awesome! Hope I can be as good with a camera as you someday ^.^\o/
See, I would say I like this better then absolute black and white.
Me too.
yeah, in this case where there's no background details to make the pic more intriguing i think you're right, it's probably best i had gray scale in there.
but if nothing else, it was annoying that i wasn't able to achieve what i set out to do in the first place ^^;
This is scarily amazing.
They're.. they're just so awesome.
Oh my... wonderful wonderfull especially the first pic!
Damn, I need to learn how to make silhouette shots... =___=
shouldn't be too hard, just make sure your subject is in front of a really bright light source, then adjust your exposure for the bright light source instead of your subject. viola, silhouette! ^^
well, 'course i botched my attempt so i guess maybe it's not necessarily that simple. but in theory it should be! ^^;
That's awesome o.o *goes practising*
Thanks all, glad ya enjoyed the shots ^^
Your lighting is perfection. I love it.
May I ask, what is your setup?
you give me too much credit ^^; doumo ^^
For white backgrounds I use a light box which you can see here: http://meronpan.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/altershinsonicfate42.jpg
to light it up, you can see my softbox in the photo on the left, also have another light + umbrella on the right. still experimenting with the proper placement of my light sources, and ideally i'd have more (really hard to light up that whole box evenly with just 2 lights ^^;)
for stuff on black backgrounds i just use some fabric as a backdrop and position lights as necessary. in this pic i have two umbrellas though recently i use my softbox + umbrella further away for fill.
