I attende a photo course at the QCA, Brisbane. 'Photographing the human form'................highly recommended. This pic is straight from the camera, absolutely no PP or filters used.

interesting stuff, was it expensive to go?
would might trying some stuff like that

Hi Redline

It was a great day with excellent models, the cost, just $70 for the day.

Can you give us some info on the shot and how you did it?

Cheers

Very stylish and innovative executionof abstracting the stark nude, well done!

geoff - fantastic - as far removed as can be from those terrible, smutty shots that seem to inhabit far to many 'camera club' walls.

Echo the question above - how did you do it, especially as this is straight from camera....

And finally -love the blue monochrome feel but i've really got a black and white bug at the moment - reckon your shot would look timeless in b+w

Oh, that I were to look that good.



That said, this image doesn't do it for me. Not as a nude, nor as a bodyscape.

It seems too static, with no texture and little form.

Hi all

I would like to say that this photo was planned but unfotunately it was not, in fact to be perfectly honest it was a total fluke, a purely accidental result.

It was produced on my Sony F717, manual mode, 1/30s f2.3, ISO320 focal length 28mm.

The course was stuctured so that all students had 1/2 hour sessions with the model directing and shooting as desired. This photo was taken 'over the shoulder'of a fellow student while taking there turn at direction. I framed the shot and pressed the shutter release at exactly the same time as the studio lights were triggered by the other student and therefore this over exposed image resulted.

I mentioned in another reply to redline that the course cost $70, great value except it ended up costing me nearly $3000! I had been contemplating upgrading to a DSLR and attending the course highlighted a few limitations of the Sony. The following week I invested in my D70s with standard kit lens and a 70-300 f5.6 ED, now considering a 60mm f2.8 macro to add to the collection and satisfy my lens lust.
