Overexposed: Dog Tags
September 28th, 2006
It’s admittedly a little harder to see the dog tags in this week’s picture, but then it didn’t seem like very many of you were looking at the dog tags the last time they were on display. Any grievances regarding their absence may be directed to our complaints department or to the lovely bits responsible for obscuring said dog tags. – Lucky

I can’t take too much credit for this one. All I did was lay there. Lucky really deserves the credit, this is one of my favorites.

As well it should be one of your favorites. This is art gallery-worthy.

It’s a great effect with the focused contrast. Very nicely done, Lucky! You might even consider entering it for a contest, if such a one exists.

Beautiful … worthy of posting on met-art or hegre. ;^)

Technical question for you, Lucky. How did you create the zoom / contrast effect for this shot? I finally bought a digital camera with a lot of features, and this type of shot is something I’d like to try (not necessarily with a nude model, of course!), but I wouldn’t know how to creat it. Tips?

Well, to tell you the truth, it’s hard to remember. I know that the original shot was nothing terribly fancy: essentially a one light shot, taken from just a few feet away with a relatively wide angle lens. The soft focus was done using the soft focus effect in Google’s Picasa software; no elaborate equipment or lengthy Photoshop processes required. I’m glad you like it!
