It is is a shot of her looking at a composite book of herself with a face lined up where her head actually is trying to make it seem like the book isn&#8217;t there at all. What I was impressed about this shoot was the clarity of the images shot to create the composite. It was shot at F8 using a Canon 24-70, needless to say it is crazy sharp. We were also experimenting with lighting on this shot to see if we could attempt a light contrast stock shoot feel.</p></div><div class="img-div"> <a href="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/candice-book-composition.jpg"><img src="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/candice-book-composition-726x484.jpg" alt="" title="candice-book-composition" width="726" height="484" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-486" /><em class="enlarge-img"></em></a></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/the-book-of-candice/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Taking off</title><link>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/taking-off/</link> <comments>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/taking-off/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:43:27 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Steve Pell</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Photo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[blue]]></category> <category><![CDATA[brown]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dock]]></category> <category><![CDATA[duck]]></category> <category><![CDATA[water]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wildlife]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stevepell.ca/?p=484</guid> <description><![CDATA[A shot of a duck taking off as I approached.

My goal was to take a shot of it in mid flight jumping off the dock. What I really love about this image is the reflection of the high sun in the sky as well as the ducks&#8217; own reflection under itself. I also love the toning of this image as they&#8217;re all relatively on the same palette. I am glad I didn&#8217;t crop the wing off the right side of the frame.</p></div><div class="img-div"> <img src="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/duck-in-flight.jpg" alt="" title="Duck in Flight" width="727" height="1091" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-511" /></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/taking-off/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Relaxing to tunes</title><link>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/relaxing-to-tunes/</link> <comments>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/relaxing-to-tunes/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:49:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Steve Pell</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Photo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[brown]]></category> <category><![CDATA[headphones]]></category> <category><![CDATA[light]]></category> <category><![CDATA[man]]></category> <category><![CDATA[people]]></category> <category><![CDATA[portrait]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stevepell.ca/?p=527</guid> <description><![CDATA[My friend Giancarlo again letting me use his likeness to practice with my gear and lighting.

I also wanted to practice with a new editing technique I was playing with. This image is shot using 2 lights, one on the main subject off to the right of the frame, and another on the wall behind him. I would be interested into your opinion and suggestions on the lighting and pose of this composition. Posing is definitely not my strong suit.</p></div><div class="img-div"> <img src="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/giancarlo-lighting-test.jpg" alt="" title="giancarlo-lighting-test" width="727" height="1091" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-540" /></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/relaxing-to-tunes/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Moon Rise</title><link>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/moon-rise/</link> <comments>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/moon-rise/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:07:08 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Steve Pell</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Photo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[brown]]></category> <category><![CDATA[composite]]></category> <category><![CDATA[landscape]]></category> <category><![CDATA[moon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sunset]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tree]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stevepell.ca/?p=526</guid> <description><![CDATA[This is a shot of the moon rising over a cornfield during sunset.

What I loved about this image was the drastic change in direction of the tree and the lack of any leaves on it. I also like the position of the Moon rising over the tree and field. I did enlarge the Moon to give it more detail. <a href="http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/dead-tree-moon/">Like this image</a>, I did this to add more visual interest and detail to the moon. With the lens used the moon is not that interesting or impressive as it was in person. I llike the tone of the image with the hint of blue sky.</p></div><div class="img-div"> <img src="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/moon-rise.jpg" alt="" title="Moon Rise" width="727" height="1091" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-537" /></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/moon-rise/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
