I like the dress, it's glittering ever-so-lightly in the candlelight.

It was a gorgeous dress. A cheap one from an 2nd hand shop.

I was soooo glad I made the choice not to light it with a flash. It was quite a shallow alcove.

Great use of shadows and negative space. Candle light pictures can be really hard to get right...

I love working with candle light, but It's hard to have a steady sharp image. You did pretty good here.

2Stupid2Duck In reply to PavSys [2008-08-29 10:20:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks John. I think it was staying back that helped. Often the image looks blurred but it's only because you lose DOF so quickly on those low appartures.

How the HELL did you do this?! Shane and I struggled our asses off to get candle-lit images done this weekend!

Tell meh!

I bought a cheap shit 50mm prime lens (no zoom at all - you want close, then walk).. but... it's F 1.8! It works in dead low light mate.

FuzzyYak In reply to 2Stupid2Duck [2008-08-26 14:45:17 +0000 UTC]

Dude... most of my shots are taken with a Canon 50mm f/1.4 Lens. It's not a cheap shit one, paid a fortune for it, but it's SOOOO worth it!

2Stupid2Duck In reply to FuzzyYak [2008-08-29 10:19:03 +0000 UTC]

LOL. It cost me all of about $75. But I do love it.

Yep.. those prime lens are leg zoom and I do love that 50mm lens. Everyone should at least least have this lens.

I too did first wonder how you did that shot with just candle light.... then I saw your aperture... -_-

First thing after my birthday on the procurement list will be a 50mm lens... ^^

But amazing good work. Most astonishing is that her hair fuses with the darkness around her. Looks a bit like shadows that crawl down her shoulder.. ^^.

Just watch that you don't lose deapth of field with the low F values. I found you have to stay a fair way back.

Beautifully done.. love the candle light and she looks great. Need a little background light to outline her a little at least. Oops, sorry I critique.
