Look at today's "Moonface" posting to see what I mean.
Moonface/Turtle Farm have taken and posted a lot of wetlook photos. The girl in the water at the beach is one of their primary themes. The post a lot of good stuff, some excellent stuff, and far-too-many backlites, IMHO.
But they are mesmerized by the art aspects of backlighting. Look!

I can fix this with my photo program, but "doshite?." [I think that is the way "why" is spelled in Japanese.] If not "Kerry-san" can correct me.

In reply to Message (9179.2.1) Actually...
By ray - ray_diaz1@yahoo.com Mon 15/03/04 01:53:18 GMT Thanks for the compliment Anthony, but I use quite modest equipment, my current camera is a Kodak 4800, but with a digital camera, you can experiment a lot! And it helps to be close to the beach and have a willing model who loves to get wet.. :-)
I may take 100 to 200 photos to get 20 to 40 useable ones. Some photo sessions turn out to be absolute flops.. as my experimenting failed miserably, while some turn out really great. The two pics here were in a batch of about a hundred photos and only about 5 turned out really good...
I particularly like the definition in the small waves breaking behind Julie in the first photo, this detail would have been lost in a different light.
I'm gonna dig around and see if I can find some other interesting photos as the other the other postings on this forum right now are not being very positive... :-(

By AnthonyX - anthonyx@jowc.net Mon 15/03/04 01:30:31 GMT Yup... when the backlight turns the subject into a dark silhouette, there's not much wetlook left to appreciate.
I think this is really advice for the novice photographer, or someone with limited equipment, and obviously doesn't apply to Ray, who does excellent work.
