"Lady Scarlet"

[Gus Cobos]

“Lady Scarlet”

Note: The saturation and contrast levels were boosted a little to add more punch and impact to this lady, giving here a more bold vibrant look.

This exotic lady was painted with a Nikon D3, using a Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D IF-ED macro lens with a Nikkor 12mm extension tube.

Image Solution:
focal length @ 60mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / 1/250sec. - f/22 / exposure comp @ -0.3EV / ISO @ 400 / white balance @ custom profile, using an Expo disk for color calibration / AF - Mode @ manual / color space @ sRGB / lighting solution - Nikon R1C1 wireless close up speedlight system; both light units set to minimum fill flash with a wide dispersal pattern and attached diffuser. / tone comp @ +2 degrees / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +3 degrees / support platform - tripod assist, with macro focusing rail, and remote electronic trigger release /

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:

If you said nothing about the saturation boost, I'd have never guessed. This looks magic mate. :) Really nice.

You said the 105 was the most forgiving ~ Can't see too much wrong with this. GREAT colours and textures Gus!
