Day 94 of 365 days.
This is something I had been meaning to try for a while. Kind of the opposite of something I had been doing for a while. Pi c’s had recommended it when she saw some of my pictures where I faded into the black background. This is my attempt to fade into a white background. White is a little harder because it involes pumpinp up the color saturation so high that you almost get a posterized effect. My intent was to have my arms completely opaque and not faded out like this butI kind of misplaced my spotlight, leaving much brighter highlights on arm and face than I had intended. So when I pumped the exposure way up to get rid of the detail in the shirt, I blew out the highlights on the left side of my body. In the end, I actually kind of like the effect and think it’s interesting.
I am kind of interested to see what other people think.
see…..i think this is great! Of course i love the black background shots too…but this is definitely different for you and i think it worked well. sometimes that "blown out" posterization effect works really well….other times, not so well. THIS is one the "well" times! You look HAWT!
I agree with Jen. This is a very cool effect! Great job. I will not go so far as to call you HAWT. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I like it…I’ve had the same basic idea on my mental list actually (I have no black background at the moment, so it seemed like something to try).
I will say that I like the black bg a little better…but this is still very cool.
I dig it…I see what you mean about the arms being a bit too blown out, especially on the right side, but the overall effect is fantastic.
I also wanted to be the next person to say you’re HOT. 😀
heehee… girls think I’m sexy…
thanx everyone…
I was thinking that with this idea for example your shirt will blend in with the background .. but i have to confess this is an amazing picture, i liked the harsh lighting used.
I think you fade into black a little easier…..I am a little surprised that you even own a white shirt, LOL! Did you have to go buy it just for this picture?? Now, you should get the completely white pimp suit and take it again……
I do like this shot of you, though, the right arm "blowout" works for me!
@shan: of course I have white clothes. As for a white pimp suit, just what are you implying?
Yeah, Mav, that’s exactly what I had in mind!!!! But I was picturing white pants, too! But, that might make it a little more Don Johnson….
I have white pants for it too… I just wasn’t wearing them in that particular picture.
Man, that Mav is so hot, he’s smokin’!!
Okay, well put that whole suit on and then fade into white…..
Phlewgt….lol!
The first thing I thought was the song "Macho, macho Man"
