Techs: The image was under exposed on purpose to create a warm seductive mood. A Circular Polarize filter was used at 75 percent capacity, to tone down the reflections and to give the image a deep, silky, rich glow on the red hues.
The image was painted with a Nikon D200; using a Nikkor AF-S DX Zoom 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED.
Image Solution: focal length @ 52mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / 1/125sec. - f/22 / exposure comp @ -1.7EV / ISO @ 200 / white balance @ manual, custom profile using an expo disk for color calibration. / AF - mode @ manual / metering mode - combination of in camera matrix metering, and hand held spot meter, sampling three anchor points, for balanced light distribution. / color space @ sRGB / lighting solution - Nikon R1C1 wireless close up speedlight system; both light units set to ¼ lumen burst with a wide dispersal pattern. / tone comp @ +2 degree / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform – tripod assist, with macro focusing rail, and a cable trigger release /
