:p And don't forget you got the physics bending magic light that eradicates the shadow under the chin right as well (which is clearly showing in the RAW original on that link of Dan's). The subject's head must have the density of a neutron star to do that to light! :eek: After you said...

Cheers Dan for taking the time and putting us all out of our misery and explaining the shot to us. :) I'd guessed you'd used a hard light left and softer light high right and in daylight, but the strength and position of the sun was open to question and I was flip-flopping on whether the sky...

We'll have to disagree because the strong but softer light above his head adds the contrast under the chin and provides the shading we can see that defines the chin shape. The ear shadow clearly confirms a light is behind and over the shoulder, and with his head turned the light will not...

I considered that, but I'd expect to see multiple shadows on the main subject. Also I can see daylight peaking through the back of the stadium. ;) Which adds a little weight to the fact the sun could have been setting there. Thank you. I haven't formally deconstructed a lighting set-up...

Nice shot there. :) **edit*** and nice portfolio that fills me with jealousy and bitterness. :p ;) I'll agree that you can do a hell of a lot with a single flash set up. It's 50/50 whether I do more one or two flash sets, but I definitely only do a few three or more light sets for location...

**A slight edit as I might have misunderstood when you mentioned two speedlights. I assume it was something you were going to write rather than what you actually wrote, because you didn't mention 2 speedlights, just the one. As you rightly suggest, if there was no contrast in the jawline...

Let me disagree and dissect your use of one speedlight and the sun. :) Oh, and 600 joule lights aren't that powerful. :D As you don't tell me the relative positions of lights with your theory I'm going to consider two set-ups. Sun to left: If we say the sun is camera left, then to cast...

As SteveOBHave says, this is not HDR but lights, along with some PP. Looking through his portfolio confirms he is a fan of the 'gritty desaturated' look so I expect some use of heads with reflectors and a beauty dish to act as the key for his post processing technique. It is quite feasible...

Ooh. :) Several of your comments so far have been quite bait worthy when looked at in a particular light, and I'm feeling in the need of a teeny bit of a nibble. ;) That and I'm a wee bit confused and would like enlightening. :confused: :) Simply, I would love to know exactly what you think...

You'll not get much of an argument from me about that. ;) For those of us with hair like wire it's just too much to spend. I'd rather exchange an extra 5 minutes of my time every day for the money I'm saving. :) Finally, after a week of getting used to the new shaving regime, no nicks or...

Ah the complete moron attack! I never saw that one coming. I quake in fear at your ad hom. In fact I need new knickers, :)

I personally have no problem with it. Plenty of people have a great shave with the thing. All power to them and their wallets. What I have a problem with is the cost of the damn blades at 1 per week. It was the last straw for me. :eek: Spending all that money on those Fusion proglide power...

I've spent 20 years shaving with those multi blade things. You just did because they were the modern way of shaving. Had to be better because they were the best new thing for wet shaving. Well new isn't always best for everybody and I wish I'd used a traditional DE safety razor years ago. I...

I've been hanging around here since about 1999 (I think) and survived two server nukes, but OcUk never ceases to amaze me after all these years with the breadth of info and cross section of experience that appears across the whole forum. Seriously, other forums I belong to consistently annoy the...

Consign Skyline to the rental bin as it's getting slaughtered in the reviews over at RottenTomatoes.... http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/skyline_2010/ as well as some of the comments already posted here at OcUK. Now Battle Los Angeles, that looks way more interesting :) and I'm kind of...

I wouldn't either. Plenty of things to do with 20k from a business perspective. :) Although I must have missed the bit where it said 20k because the info in the FAQs about how much money is needed reads: 'You will need to have £30K – 80K (depending on opportunity) of liquid funds and the...

My advice is don't bother. You would be better off sending them a P.O. money gram. It costs but not as much as a parcel. All they need is i.d. to pick it up. Regarding parcels. If it doesn't go missing, then there's a good chance that the cost of going to a city to collect it, and then...

This is a quality camera, a very nice point and shoot, and £175 seems a good price for it. An almost 'proper' wide end of 25mm as well. :) It's basically the TZ7 for people who don't need the high resolution video. My dad has one. I told him to get it. :)

You could probably have played the following on your old PC, and I do quite like X3, but what you should play if you haven't is: Freespace 1 and 2 with all the spangly add ons and graphic updates. :) In fact, see this smashing thread about it...
