I ended up using my kit lens as I needed the width. The lens I should have used is going for service and anything else I had was too long

I need to work out how to add some writing to that page.....
cheers

I love this shot... way too sharp... but it really work with the black drop... almost like a pencil crayon drawing... well done...

PS nothing wrong with the kit lens here....

I'm still trying to figure out what isn't work safe. Nice capture

Interesting....and different!......but not my cup of tea.
Cheers, Pickles.

janstew · 12-16-2011, 03:02 PM

Haha thanks guys.......I guess its not everyones cuppa pickles......I do like to be a little different. I wanted to separate the model from the background with the lights but still keep a dark look to it

Not work safe means to me ......If the boss was behind you looking over your shoulder what would he say?.......I know my boss but not yours so I err on the side of caution

cheers

Good job with the writing. I probably would stop the writing where he is up to so it looks a little more real. Just a minor detail.

Thanks Falke I think you are correct.....

As others have said, "not my cup of tea" but either way, it is very creative and you have done a great job here. I do agree with Falke about the writing also! Oh, Merry Christmas!
