Dude I really like this one man, good job. Somthin about it just caught my eye.

Ok, so here's a comparison of the two shots from flickr. The first was saved with no changes to the color space in PS whereas the second shot was saved using the "Save for Web and Devices" dialoge.





Pretty big difference. I'm surprised I never noticed this before. Guess you learn something new every day!

wow, i totally missed zenzanon's post... i really like the tonal range in those shots man!

[Julianachos]

I think I got the lighting jig down now.

[J-specCb4]

lol nice shot but i wouldnt say all that

[Julianachos]

It's an improvement.

It's an improvement, but still not quite there. Direct light is a no-no.

also not true


i use direct light all the time

[Julianachos]

I used an umbrella with this one actually.

[J-specCb4]

the problem is its not enough light, and umbrellas and cars usually dont work out too well...

At least I tried.

Never used the umbrella before though. Oh well.

But yours is diffused or softened isn't it? That's what I meant I guess.

[Julianachos]

I think this shot was with the diffuser on.
