| Love this picture and technique. I did the same with a white rose with similar, but far less engaging results. You are right, LASER pointers are a problem to control. I did my rose with quite random movements. I like your well organized transits across the subject much better. |

Are you not going to take this photo do dpcprints?
I would love to have it somewhere in my house... |

| Great shot. I liked the progression of thought shown through the out takes. Very provocative, without being blatently indulgent. I want a copy of this for my wall. |

| Sorry for the delay but for those of you interested in the out takes they can be found at Lady In Red Out Takes. If you have any questions send me a PM and I'll do my best to help. |

| Would still love to see the tutorial posted somewhere... If the photos are not appropriate for this site, then perhaps elsewhere. The contrast and form of the lazer light really "made" this shot. |

| Lisae, I'm sorry you feel that way about my shot and appreciate your comment. I spent a considerable amount of time surfing the web studying "classic" nudes trying to decide how to do this shot. I've never done a nude before so the entire experience was one of fascination and learning. I found that laser light is not very flattering to the human face. I attempted to generate a, for lack of a better word, "de Milo" effect by including only the torso. The arms introduce more complexity to the shot not to mention blocking other areas of the torso because of the stark, highly directional nature of the laser beam. I wanted a simple, clean image and by having the model stand with her hands raised above her head the subtle stomach muscles are a bit better defined while eliminating the potential interference of the arms. I thank you for the input as it's another perception on my work that I didn't have. |

| This is the kind of photo that makes you say "wow".. Well deserved 2nd (1st in my book however...) |
|
|
|

This is a very cool idea, and well executed, but it leaves me cold. It's a very clinical, impersonal use of a woman's body. Something disturbs me about images of just a torso, as you often see in advertising, with nothing else... no context, no personality, etc. It reminds me of "The Rape" by Rene Magritte (//www.finesite.webart.ru/shocking/rape.jpg), which uses that kind of disembodiment of the female torso to completely objectify it.
This is just my feeling though. Well done on 2nd place :) |

I was without words for this picture. It looks more like some 3D render than an actual photograph. I, for one, am impatiently waiting for the tutorial on this.
If it can not be published on this site, please make it available elsewhere.
Great job!!! |

Thanks for all the great comments. I spent close to 20 hours researching, testing and producing this shot and everyone's response to it was quite gratifying. I'm trying to figure out how to do the mini-tutorial that some have asked for but there may be too much nudity in my out-takes to be viable. PM me if you have specific questions and I'll do my best to help.

Great shot, you need to hang on to this female "friend" you had... i mean, if she has a boyfriend and POSE for you, dude, you need to work her :) know what i mean? I look forward for more nudes of her in the future, she has a great body and perfect for curves.

I really like this! I've seen a few laser pan images this challenge, and I like this one the best! Not only because it is a nude woman, but because the laser really shows off the great shape of the body. The few black areas with no red lines are a little bit distracting but all in all its a beautiful photograph! Excellent! 10 - Konador

| Wow! This picture is incredible! The red laser against the pure black makes the picture to really stand out from the others. The 3D effect created by the laser against the female body gives outstanding detail. Congratulations! This could be the winning picture. |

| For me, you are the one. Excellent choice of subject, great execution, very acceptable focus. This provides me with the notion of how our brain is able to understand what figure was there, in perfect detal, when a camera can only see a black background and red lines. Congratulations. |

a lot of folks tried this trick, you get the highest score of all of them (9) 'cause you chose a subject whose curves contrast with the straight lines of light. nice angle for the lines, how long was your exposure? my camera's got a max of 4 seconds.
having a pretty girl around comes in handy, don't it. way to get the most out of your unfair advantage. |

| Very nice. This might sound a little strange, and perhaps it wasn't possible to get the whole figure in for any number of reasons, but the way the body was cropped bothers me. In some ways, I feel like this is exploiting the sex angle even more than some of the more clearly nude shots this week. It's hard for me to describe. Please don't misunderstand, it's a great shot and I've scored it well -- there's just something about it that bothers me and I'm having a hard time putting it into words. If you'd like to chat about what I mean after the challenge, get in touch with me. |
