Re: I'm back...with new pics
I think fill might affect some of the closer areas, but it would never reach the top of the rocks and would render the shadows uneven. I did brighten the shadows with the PS shadows and highlights tool, but refrained from pumping them up a lot. Personally, I prefer the hard light. It gives shape to the rocks and provides some dimension. Even in my studio work I'm getting away from flat light or even -1 fill. For example, this month's pug (which is a rather ordinary still life) is lit with about -2 fill and some back light. I think it's more natural and, to me, more interesting.

Re: I'm back...with new pics
Thanks Marnie, I'm sorry you were offended by the shot of the young woman. However, I suspect you were more offended by some of the slightly off-color comments it provoked. I shoot some figure studies, very few of which have been displayed here, and I find the human body to be a very attractive subject. Although some here referred to the woman's garment as underwear, it is in fact a bathing suit. I didn't think the shot was particularly revealing or provocative, I just liked the composition of her body, her bag, and her hand with the cell phone. It suggested a kind of unashamed innocence to me. And of course it's very Southern California. Again, I'm sorry if you were offended.

Re: I'm back...with new pics
I was referring to an earlier post, where she commented more extensively on the bathing suit picture. By the way, I should have tried to get together with some of you SoCal folks, but it's hard for me to plan ahead when I'm out there. I never know when I'll have time off until the last minute or so. Mark Dalal and I did manage to meet on the Venice Pier a few years ago. Half an hour later I got a call to come into the studio. That's made me apprehensive about trying it again. But maybe next time. Paul On Apr 9, 2004, at 8:49 AM, Keith Whaley wrote: I didn't see where Marnie indicated she found the beachwear shot offensive.

I tend to prefer taking that kind of shot, where I want shadows for definition, later in the day with softer shadows. Or earlier, in the morning, same reason. I think the canyon shot would have been much better that way. Thanks Marnie, The canyon view may well have been better at a different time of day, but I was on a 12 mile hike, and I was there at the moment. However, due to the peaks on both sides, most of La Jolla Canyon is lit only during mid day. I'm not sure if a low light shot is possible. I could make the shadows softer in PhotoShop CS. It's quite good at that. Perhaps I'll give it a try and post it again. Paul

Re: I'm back...with new pics
I really like the composition of the canyon shot, and the fact that you have chosen a time of day when the light has been just right to show detail in the shadows without overwhelming the highlights. The beach shot appeals for primarily non-photographic reasons, and I never noticed the cut-off head! The texture, if that is the right word, of the water is fantastic in the third shot. On my laptop monitor the picture slightly lacks punch. The black isn't quite black enough. I'll have to try it on a CRT.
