Clare - sunset photo

i had quick session for Clare, literally like 5 mins.

Clare had asked for a railroad shot the last time we worked, but time ran out, i had mention to her, lets wait for a cool crazy sky..

so today i walk out of work and knew i should call Clare for her sunset shot tonight..
so we meet and did the shoot in like 5 mins.. took longer to set up the light stand than the shoot it self.

tonight worked out for both her and i..

i am getting more aggressive with my post processing..

let me know when i am out of hand.. lol.. the hardest part is to know when to stop.

I like it.

Can't decide if she's a bit too bright compared to the background or not, but that's just me. Good work.

This is great Pham! I'm a big fan for sure. Did you use the bees or the speedlites for this?

Ahh, I knew you would shoot something tonight, I was checking the sunset on my way home from work and wishing I had my cam on me. It looked even better prob 10 mins before that shot.

i was thinking the same thing about her brightness. Even so, they are nice pictures.

crazy skies indeed and of course - the hoosier railroad in the middle of the corn field lol. oh so far away, yet so very familiar...

I like the first one a lot. What ISO are you pushing on these? I can't check it at work.

I actually think these came out great. The color in the sky and the lighting came out great

I dont know if just just me but your posts usually hang up and I don't get most of the pictures. Usually I get top 1/3rd max. I thought it was something weird on my Mac but its only your posts and its been doing it for a week or 2.

Guys, pretty much the whole idea behind portraiture is to get an image of the person in the photo. Them standing out from the background is what you kinda hope for and strive for. Whether you do it with lighting or DOF or both, it's kinda what most people go for. I think the photos are awesome... as usual phamster.
