The second shot has a slight softness in the details that that I sometimes get with my own HDR processing. I also perceive a little more shadow detail in the bottom shot as well. I won&#39;t be surprised if I&#39;m wrong though because you did a great job on processing both images and to your credit neither one has a classic &quot;straight out of Photomatix&quot; look to it.<br /><br />Well done!<br />BarryBarry Armerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18315460669795988898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753861.post-9547759810316597752009-11-11T15:04:25.099-02:002009-11-11T15:04:25.099-02:0050-50 chance. I&#39;ll go with the top as the HDR.

If you ever get the chance again, The OTT House right on the Square in Emmitsburg has great food. It is located next to the firehouse. The firehouse also has a cool museum inside.Woodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08430953505310763737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753861.post-36008663724282319092009-11-09T13:35:57.017-02:002009-11-09T13:35:57.017-02:00Great job here Brian.

It is such a serious look for one so young. Great composition too.<br /><br />The other two shots are really nice and show some of those normal kid faces when they are happy. <br /><br />Nice job on all of these.

She&#39;s a little washed out including her dress.

Then I apply a layer mask and paint with black the areas that I want to be not quite as sharp. It doesn&#39;t always add a lot extra and other times it does.Brian Bastinellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12402221552368724858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753861.post-77360904459821582032009-11-03T22:23:09.168-02:002009-11-03T22:23:09.168-02:00Brian,<br />I remember watching you shoot these photos, but I really don&#39;t remember the light being so dramatic. Great job as always. If I remember correctly, this was done with the 70-200 2.8??? What was your f-stop here, I really like the blurred bg.<br />Happy Anniversary,<br />Todd Badeauxkitobaphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08010751612862394499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753861.post-69494729874866441492009-11-03T18:55:18.749-02:002009-11-03T18:55:18.749-02:00A little different take from what most people show. For learning purposes I like seeing how the shot was arranged, and still be able to separate your subject from the gear. I think you accomplished what you were trying to do.<br /><br />Also, congratulations on your 8th anniversary.Doug Haasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12556596269817966949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753861.post-47975218235450107902009-11-02T12:57:06.726-02:002009-11-02T12:57:06.726-02:00Terrific series of shots Brian!

Both the ring light and your treatment bring out character in the image which I think describes Alec&#39;s presence in a room very well.<br /><br />I remember your setup for that, and now thinking of it, it&#39;s interesting how it works. The ring light has two effects: it really enhances the edges in a face (very evident) and it creates a halo of the person in the background. That halo is something that folks love or hate. Your fill removes the halo, which I think works great. I&#39;m just wondering whether placing the fill behind your subject would have been better to avoid the fill undoing the ring light effect in the face.<br /><br />Anyway, super cool images!Jan Klierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09303300161172988861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753861.post-8036760106434175822009-10-27T19:20:47.903-02:002009-10-27T19:20:47.903-02:00Cool shot!
