“Moon Light Lady”
Note:
A thin sheet of glass was placed on a table and a mixture of water, glycerin and corn meal was brushed on to create the rippled water effect. A polarizing filter was used at 25 percent capacity to reduce some of the glare from the glass. Two 24” black light fluorescent tubes were placed at 90-degree angles for a rich dark moon glow on the petals.

This beautiful lady was painted with a Nikon D2x, using a Nikkor 105mm f/2.8D, and a 12mm extension tube.
Image solution:
focal length @ 105mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / metering mode- combination of in camera matrix metering, and hand held spot meter, sampling six anchor points, for balanced light distribution. / 1/250sec. - f/32 / ISO @ 200 / exposure comp @ -2.3EV / white balance @ manual, custom profile using an expo disk for light calibration / AF Mode @ manual / color space @ sRGB / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +3 degrees / saturation factor @ +4 degrees / no speedlight; used two 24" soft boxes, the first one at 90 degrees, with a 24" diffuser panel to tone down and balance the light. The second soft box was positioned from the top with corresponding diffuser. Two 24” gold reflector panels were positioned at 45-degree angles to balance out the lights and the shadows for depth perception. / Support platform – tripod assist, with macro focusing rail / cable trigger release /
Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:
