Yesterday a friend of mine, Rachel was available for a small photo-shoot to test out some new and different-to-me equipment. It was a quick setup with just a softbox camera right that was a bit higher than her, pointing down a bit. We’re shooting from a dock out into the Savannah River. It was really really hot and humid. I complained a lot.

The only post processing done was color and contrast and a slight straighten of the horizon. After I got the hang of posing her, we started to have some fun and got some good photos. It then got dark. 

I normally don’t do this, but here’s a side-by-side comparison of the photo first in black/white and then in color. I’ve added another photo that shows more detail in the figure. The detail of the photo when viewed in high-res is really quite impressive.
