    they are both good photos separately, but when I looked at it I could tell immediately that they were overlayed images.... Unless thats the look you were going for....

  25. ~Phamster~ (29 months ago | reply)

    @ 3V4ngray..

    this photo isn't an over lay.. i have the raw file to prove it.. ha ha...

    what makes you think it was a composite?

  26. EvanGray (29 months ago | reply)

    Well Goddamn. I thought that by the lighting on the models, its brighter than their surrondings. I guess Im not used to looking at photos shot with a camera like a 5d mark II. My bad lol

  27. ~Phamster~ (29 months ago | reply)

    haha.. no problems 3v4ngray..

    that look i get is very popular with strobist..

    mostly on all strobist photos.. there are 2 exposures going on at the same time..

    one the shutter speeds for ambient light..
    two the flash for the subject light..

    ha ha.. seriously not a problem..

  28. Noah Stephens (29 months ago | reply)

    Pham, this is amazing. What did you do to the photo in post processing? I think I see a diffuse glow applied. Am I correct?

  29. ~Phamster~ (29 months ago | reply)

    @ Noah,

    i used portraiture on very low settings just to give it a smoothing effect and i blended in that layer with the original to my likings

    thanks everybody ! it is one of my favorite shots too !
