I'm Exhausted...Finished the first day of shooting with the K10D. Here is a RAW Unretouched sample.."Shiva" without the six arms that will come in Post Prod..

Hope you like it.

I love it. Can't wait to see the finished image.

I see at least 5 shadows. How many lights did you hit her with?

Ben the shot is so beautiful as is, but I can't wait to see your final. Now I know what pro means. Congrats.

This is a beautiful shot. Always a pleasure to view professional work first hand here

The backdrop of wall has that poetic look to it, mixing shadow with wall colour variation. I like that part a lot

[plmuzikmaster]

i wonder how hard it will be to make shadows for the extra arms if there will even be any...

It WAS a pure white background. That is all lighting...

Great Ben!
I have linked this to DPReview

1) Any shots of the setup (or at least a detailed description) - before the video they took comes out? The brownish tone on the white background, mirrors, etc.

2) How did the K10D perform compared to what you would have gotten out of the Canons? Strobe sync, ease or quickness in changing settings No difference? better? How intuitive was it working with it to acheive all that you wanted? More intuitive than the Canons?, Less? Less only because you're not fully used to the camera as your Canons?

3) Did it completely blow the myth of "buy the system" & anything other than Canon/ Nikon just isn't as reliable for success? Would you have had a better time using Canon or Nikon in any possible way?

4) Any INITIAL reactions (even off the cuff) specifically to the K10D issues you presented to them as the K10D community "ambassador"? **This question is asked KNOWING about their low opinion of you speaking on our behalf, and the further info to be gotten after the issues are sent to Tokyo, and the politically correct waiting time.

nice shot Ben

[Marc Langille]

About another post you did regarding lighting, etc.

This seems to bode well for using another system outside of the 2 largest players. I'll be curious about your comments post shooting and the likes/dislikes of the K10D, etc. once you've decompressed, etc.

This is a beautiful image = I cannot wait to see the finished product!

Regards,
Marc

Very nice Ben.

[Sailor]

Very cool. It's great to see what a pro can do with the same camera I use.

Thanks, man.

Upon Paris, dank day dawn, a smell of fried chestnuts, cosy studio, red wine and the model - romanticism!... (I apologize for banality)
Light - it is fine!
About model I shall not speak, itself I know as it difficultly to achieve the necessary result... But I would be dissatisfied with her such work...
