I love that one!

Is that natural sunlight, shining through the round diffuser?

I call this little box my “make people happy device” :slight_smile:

Yep, we shot AL. But most of the time the reflectors were used instead of the diffuser. Sunlight was coming through the roof window.

What printer is that?

Fuji of course :slight_smile: because it allows me to print directly from my camera.

Here’s one of mines. What I used for this was:

Darktable: Filmic for almost everything - equalizer - fill light - shadows&highlights with a tiny mask on her eyes.

GIMP: some frequency separation minor fixs, and a bit of highlight/shadow manually added with a simple overlay mask at a really low opacity.

Here is one of my shots. Developed in darktable using filmic and the new lut 3D module with Ilford Delta 100.

I’ve used a small amount of dodge and burn to reduce some highlights in the face. I have a preset for this in my magic box. If you burn or dodge is controlled by the EV slider after you’ve drawn the masks using the brush.

For ISO8000 I think the quality is quite good.

Thanks Stefan for the great workshop!

Has anyone shown this thread to Ewa?

I thought this was a p*** workshop (because I visited Stefan’s website)

I’ve wrote her a mail and sent her the link.

I edited this because I thought that the mood was woderful and it was too bad that it was not perfect

Sometimes the best thing you can do is just enjoy the photo that someone posted. Learn from it and think about what would you have done differently without directly expressing that in a picture yourself.

Scratch the best, then I agree :wink:

@betazoid Removing that balk from her head really improved the result!
