Restrained Elegance Latest Updates |
Archive: New Camera RoadtestTutorialPhotoset (34 photos) starring Ariel AnderssenAdded 19-03-2009Tags: ballgag, rope bondage, lingerie, stockings Every so often we road-test new bits of technical kit, because we always want to keep Restrained Elegance well ahead of the curve in terms of photographic quality. Yesterday Ariel and I roadtested a new camera for possible use in shooting for the site. Have a look at some samples from our shoot inside... including 13 megapixel full-dized images from a Canon EOS 5D (which is the workhorse camera for most of the photographers we shoot for Restrained Elegance) plus some HUGE 31 megapixel full-sized images from a H3DII-31 Hassleblad digital camera. If you are interested in the photography please do drop by the forum for a chat! I'll be posting my thoughts on the two cameras on there and starting a discussion about our camera choice for the site so please post and let us know your thoughts. The files in this gallery are as follows:
I've deliberately not airbrushed or photoshopped these images (sorry, Ariel!) The images were all shot in RAW format, which means that one has to use a RAW converter to select the right white balance and produce a JPEG for web viewing. I also applied a sensible amount of sharpening to the images, much as I would do for normal processing for RE. We shot with studio flash, indoors in natural light, and outdoors in natural light with a reflector, as we would in normal RE shoots. We tried to use both cameras "fairly", concentrating on shooting good images in real-world conditions rather than on technical exercises. |
