This was shot today for a friend who is looking for a few lifestyle shots to add to his surfing portfolio. I've done the convertion in DPP (all I have at the mo!).

Thanks for looking in,

I love the bricks and sand! Nicely done.

Something about the lighting slightly throws me off. Not enough to call it a bad picture... it's so small I can't put my finger on it. :/

Thanks Atsumi.
To be honest I'm not too convinced either, I certainly doesn't have the 'look' I wanted but the I guess I would be running before I can walk. This was taken in the dreaded miday sun, I tried to get him to meet up later but his patients are almost non existant. Also I'm not sure about the conversion, I'm used to having CS2 (on its way) so doing this in DPP was a little weird.

Shot with the 1Dmk2 / 24-70L.

Scary looking dude, not sure I would want to test his patience :) Lighting looks okay to me, but the diagonals throw me a bit...he is leaning in the same direction as the diagonal between the wall and sand, but the bricks are "leaning" the opposite direction. Messes with my eyes after a while.

I see wahat your saying there th3r0m, kinda wants to make your eyes go in oppisite directions...something to look out for in the future.

He's a big softy really but he sure looks the part.

Cheers
