May 02, 2010 21:03 | #1 Since I mostly do sports and landscapes, I figured I would have a go at people. I took this at work a week or so ago of my crew. When I was going through the folder this was in, I thought it would look cool if it had an "album cover" type look. Processed in LR2. Thanks for your input.  Motion Picture Lighting Tech

May 02, 2010 22:50 | #3 It was about 11:30. True the top light is not the most flattering, but there was a fair cloud cover that softened it up a bit. This is the first time I have done any PP on people... I was hoping to get a rough and rugged look out of this. Motion Picture Lighting Tech

Do you have a flash you can use for fill? If not try using a reflector... any large white surface. "All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my right hand!" Steven Wright

However, nothing compares to getting it right during the shoot. Less of a pain in the post-production part of the process =P Comments for Comments. It's the way I roll.

Less of a pain in the post-production part of the process =P Agree that this could have been shot at a better time. However, your exposure is rather nice. I understand that you probably wouldn't have had the time (or been able to convince the guys to stick around for you) to set up a reflector, and compose the photo more, etc. However, if you could have, it would have helped a lot.

I knew that the light in the BG would be of concern. If I had more time to compose, it might have worked a little better. Thanks for the input. Motion Picture Lighting Tech
