Hot girl with k20d
Posted By: roentarre, 03-07-2008, 11:58 PM

A quick round of shoots with Fa 43 ltd today. K20d is striking with details and colour. No more yellow cast and much better dynamic range comparing to k10d. It is in deed a sweet camera!

Francisca is also a fan of pentax camera too. Then I had to leave canon gear to one side to please her ...

Happy snapping!

Is it just me or do these images look to be photoshopped?

Especially the third one. It looks like its been cut and pasted onto the backdrop and someones head was pasted onto that girls body. The lights and shadows on the subject dont seem to match lighting situation.

Hehe. Now this is a sensitive territory. It is either you are a purist or you are not.

The girl is not cut and paste onto the background. This is called subject isolation by wider aperture. (it is actually not easy to cut and paste onto a background - you could try yourself. If you could do that very well, that is a legendary skill to have and truely a master himself/herself)

She seems to glow because a large lastolite reflector providing some fill light - basic stuff for outdoor protraits

Then tweaking with skin blemishes is courtesy for most beautiful ladies unless they believe in natural ageing process.

BTW, all the images are shot in JPEGS and little photoshop work are needed - only inner glow and auto leveling!!

I didn't mean to insult your craft if that comment offended you. Its the inner glow that probably gives it that photoshopped look. The reflectors really give the images a very surreal effect. I like the first one though.

Hey!

I thought the hot girl would be holding a K20d!!! The title does say "Hot girl WITH K20d"!

Nice pics, crazy sharp!

Shaaaarp as!
Just awesome!
Great combo, lenses and body - a pleasure to see.
But not any happy snapper can create those images even with the gear you had - your skill just brings the subject to life!

When I saw Ash's comment on "Great combo, lenses and body" I kinda got stuck on the last word. She's beyond hot. Well shot images though, great IQ. Saving my nickels for a new camera as well. Like the entire series. The 3rd is a great shot and very good use of the light and colours.

James - great photos, making this new camera proud!

3rd one - absolutely terrific, very stylish and magazine spread worthy imo, grayish, muted surroundings contrasted by the bold colors, style and beauty - nice work!!!

Regards,
D

Great work for sure. I like them all but the last one would be the best if not for the light poll above her head. Lose that it is easily the winner for me. Nice work.

James, you are a very lucky man. Excellent shots, I actually enjoy the 2nd the most but all are stellar. I know I wouldn't do as well, I'd look thru the viewfinder and forget which button to push!
