Description
kinda part deux of :thumb29768339: ....wouldn't you interact with someone who smiles at you?
would you give someone yelling at you a real smile?
with the fucking eyes.
ya' know ...
well ... i know i friggin' wouldn't.
people who yell at me get the c-bomb dropped. guy or girl.
doesn't matter.
like the ungrateful bastard who i got rep'd by an agency who says, "dude ... stop making her look at you. i can't get anything."
he'd probably burned through a 1gb card.
the one thing about line shooters ... they don't care about making something interesting.
just the standard eye-contact-head-shot.
or 20 of them.
so ... what did i say to the ingrate?
"there's a reason you're back there ... and ... i'm out here. trust me."
fucked up?
well ... this is hollywood.
there are alpha dogs and dogs who lay at the ground spreading their legs.
dunno why i said that.
anyway ... this 85/1.2L ... i see with it the way i see with my leica m's. different ... but much the same.
i saw washed out with backlight.
focused on her left eye.
magical bokeh of some fucked up background that ends up looking cool.
bumping the contrast.
adding some noise to the noise that's alread inherent at 800 iso.
i can't believe how much i love this lens.
sadly ... the leicas have suffered ever since the new baby arrived as it were.
Visit my prints store !
canon e1dm2. 85/1.2L. 1/500th or so. f1/2. 800 iso. converted to b/w in ps cs with custom channel mixing actions. bumped contrast. adj levels.

This is truly a magnificent photo. I feel as if I'm not just looking at a picture, but rather experiencing it. I hear the crowd, I see the countless flashes.
Great shot!

you should be very glad she was looking at you. i would've rubbed it in his face just like you did. glad you like to make it interesting.
i smiled all the way through your description.

Goodnes... This is such an awesome shot. I think it's the kind of shot that she herself would like to have framed at home.

I adore this picture. It's true what you've said, and find it sad that photos are no longer about the human inside them. This picture really shows that she's just like everyone else, and feels the same things. Sometimes we lose sight of that

When you take pictures of celebrities, they don't seem so far away. They look real, like real people in real everyday life rather than some beautiful woman you'll never really see wandering around the supermarket. You gave her life in this photo. She's human and you've proved that. Great job.

I really like the line the light creates around her head. Tried twice to create it so far - failed! The focus is great. But I think the right side of her head could be a bit darker - too light for me. Personal opinion of course, no offense meant.

really great shot here.
the focus at the back of the main subject is great. people here are talking about a b/w conversion technique: is there a tutorial you made?
cheers,
Alex

I don't really read tabloids... though I do doubt some of the personalities of celebrities (surely some are fake), but sometimes we don't know who they are. I don't know a lot about mischa... except that she's popular and was on the OC

cweeks In reply to madame-faith [2007-04-03 17:57:43 +0000 UTC]
the tabloids are written -- largely -- by girls who are jealous of the girls they're writing about.
i've known mischa since she was 16. she's a sweetheart!

i hate the idea of photographers who care more about the money a shot will get than the person in the shot! i would rather ask nicely and get denied than just take the shot.
cant the paparazzi and the authorized animals on the Other side of the fence get some class
