ISO100 F16 1/200 This was shot with a gridded Genesis 200 monoblock - post processing was to reduce the saturation of her skin tones a little bit to give it a cold look to complement the sword blade. 7D (gripped) | GoPro Hero HD | Canon 70-200mm f/4 L | Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 | 40mm f/2.8 | 85mm f/1.8 | 28mm f/1.8 | 3 * 600EX-RT - All gear

The skin tone is going to be subjective, I would guess - but I wanted it "cold" - not monochrome or fully de-saturated 7D (gripped) | GoPro Hero HD | Canon 70-200mm f/4 L | Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 | 40mm f/2.8 | 85mm f/1.8 | 28mm f/1.8 | 3 * 600EX-RT - All gear

I have a niece who is in a troupe, and the passion,colors,vibrancy they bring to the art is amazing. I would never put them in a cold blade atmosphere? you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

My wife is a dancer too - many of the dancers in the local area practice Tribal Fusion, which is more gothic and dark than typical cabaret - Shaina does both and we got both looks and styles 7D (gripped) | GoPro Hero HD | Canon 70-200mm f/4 L | Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 | 40mm f/2.8 | 85mm f/1.8 | 28mm f/1.8 | 3 * 600EX-RT - All gear

You could really get some sweet shots with her full frame and the sword. you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

I notice your white balance changes up in a few of these.more shadows in some as well.You have talent willing to pose, you are lucky there. Watch the crops as well .Missing some body parts?  Keep clicking!

More info | Jan 28, 2010 15:09 | #12 pcj wrote in post #9491765 Thanks - white balance and shadow is the result of multiple shoots and multiple lighting changes during a shoot. I'll watch the cropping - I guess, how do you get in nice and close, without cropping something? Depends what you focus is on I would suppose? Frame it in the viewfinder ...use portrait and landscape. you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

In the second set of shots, see her arms in the #2? It looks as though she has no arms.You are losing the tip of the blade in all but one.Bits of elbows, shoulders etc. I know its much easier to say than to do! I typically move my focus point around to get it on the face or eyes, depending how close I am (habit from shooting my 50mm prime wide open!) - I'll keep more attention on the rest of the body and extremities - I have another two dancers coming out this weekend, so I'll be able to put these into practice soon. 7D (gripped) | GoPro Hero HD | Canon 70-200mm f/4 L | Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 | 40mm f/2.8 | 85mm f/1.8 | 28mm f/1.8 | 3 * 600EX-RT - All gear
