Nice photo, Benjikan! I love the feel you were able to achieve in this series.

Very nice work, Ben. Thanks for sharing with us. I loved the '50s sequence and thought it very creative of you to shoot Michelle in a fusion of '50s style but in hot pink platform heels.

Gorgeous shot. Technical details....? Lens, shutter, aperture, iso, after-shoot tequila, etc.

Cheers,
Cameron

You've got it Ben. Your work is inspiring for al (artificial light) types; where many of us find ourselves from time to time. Thanks for your always-generous contribution to our world of photography here on this forum.

Yes as above what Camera was it, was it really the K-x? And the lens?.. Wonderful shot, and shoot in general and congrats on the assignment. The shot really accentuates the clothes even more than the Model... And that's exactly what Harper's are known for, so you did Pentax, Harper's and the Model/Clothes justice indeed on the shot.

Nice job.

Nice job.

Filmed with the K-x for the video and photographed with the K20D and the DA*16-50.

very nice pictures, but let's not forget the postprocesing. also lighting, makup, hair, clothes, etc.

Wow, again very well done, and even more so considering that equipment.

kenyee · 09-30-2010, 10:24 AM

Wow...only one strobe? I have to remember not to try using every light I can :-O
Nicely done Ben...

How much leeway did you have in the shoot? What were some of your thinking along the way?

Where is the location?

And what's with the fingerless gloves? Interesting look.

I'd always like to read more commentary. It's always interesting.
