Like someone said it gives it that "filter" I kind of went through this stage and over used it in some instances.

[QUOTE=mac338;38274586]Just a bit of afternoon fun [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/75010084/AllIn.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I love the lighting and the concept, but it just looks so posed.

My best shot from last night's game. We won 40-0..

[QUOTE=Mysterio;38300156]I love the lighting and the concept, but it just looks so posed.[/QUOTE] I had no intentions to do it otherwise. I posed him in a way that would lead the eyes to his hands and his eyes which I think leads to a more interesting composition. Whether or not it is natural is not of interest as long as the message is conveyed properly, as per my inspiration Gregory Crewdson. That man is a creative genius.

Finally took a photo that I've thought about, I'm really not sure about it: [IMG]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8338/8151420236_46127f8322_b.jpg[/IMG]

It was windy and we were really close to the fireworks (as it was a smaller private display). I had fun anyway though despite my hands getting frozen solid. :v:

The same shot on a slightly foggy night probably look much better overall.

I know :( I got promoted at work, and pretty much spend all my time there now. Good to see you're still around :D

I love how the light actually works with the subject and the theme of the photo. It is very much like it would be at an evening game on a lit stadium. Great job!

[QUOTE=Inzalonus;38323014]fucking fantastic., I love the lack of background but the second one makes me feel as though some more lights in the background could look really dramatic great shots, great processing IMO[/QUOTE] Thanks so much, we were working with limited lights at the time as the 2nd year students were busy with shoots in the other studios, so I planned to use 3 lights initially, and so I used one for the top light, a light on the left as you can see from the flare, and another light from behind with a snoot on it.

that looks just enough like the world trade center for this to be weird

[QUOTE=strider;38329544]that looks just enough like the world trade center for this to be weird[/QUOTE] Most American Skyscrapers do to be honest, this one was edited though. Anyway, I just want an opinion on the best edit please :)

Well, honestly, the first one isn't great but it's the best of them all. Looks too fake to be believable, sorry.
