Take two models, a hill top location with a church, graveyard and nearby mausoleum, some fast disappearing sun, a group of photographers and some extremely tall shoes. It's quite a recipe.
Thanks to our stars for the night Skarlett Venom and Babys Got a Temper we all got some highly original images, which is really what it's all about. The tales of the search for the lost chinese are best left to the intrepid three who went in search of nutrition in Wycombe after 22:30. For this first photo I even managed to have some success with the 20mm lens. It gave me the space in the photo which seems to be appropriately balancing to the scale of those shoes.So more pictures, I'm sure by now you will identify the model who is known as Skarlett Venom. But don't be thinking that Babys Got a Temper is just a model she's also a wrestler, martial arts specialist and musician.
Which brings me finally to this picture of Babys Got a Temper. I thought that in the better light earlier there would be a fine rim light on her hair, but once in position it was clear that the light had gone already. So being an enterprising photographer I thought - shoot black and white. So Picture Styles switched to Monochrome and by chance a red filter. The result was a rim light when none was there. I figured it out later that there was enough difference in the edge of the models hair and the main body of it that the red filter turned the edge much lighter for the rim light effect with no rim light in sight. I tried different conversions in DPP software on the RAW file but only the red filter gave me the rim light effect. It was cool to show to others since the LCD preview on my camera showed the rim light effect too, even though none of us could see how it happened at the time.Some times photographers just strike it lucky with the results, mostly it's not the case.
