It's the model's edit (she's a photographer and graphic designer too) and she wanted a pseudo Polaroid look. Other than colour grading she did nothing else to it as far as I can see. It would be a bit dark because in order to accomplish the handstand she had to move to the right of my light setup where I had an overhead gridded softbox. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
