Having a bit of spare time this evening, I tried something different this time. Some PP work was put into this, but I think I've managed to get the sinister effect I wanted.

Shot with a Nex3 with Minolta Rokkor MD 50/1.7.

What do you think?

Interesting image Mark - I like the lighting and the dof.

Awesome image Mark. Those out of focus heads do make it rather sinister! John

Thanks guys

Mark

You have succeeded in achieving the sinister look Mark. I am curious to know what you did.

Hi sury,

Thank you very much.

I haven't done too much PP. The most important part of the image is the narrow DOF and the sharp center figure. Once I took the shot, I did the following:

- convert the image to black and white
- +14 saturation to the color blue
- + 20 clarity
- dodge and burn the center figure
- Sharpness +50
- added +100 vignetting

All done in LR4.1.

Going into cinematography, Mark?

There's quite the staging of the mood and feel in this shot; definitely sinister.


Thanks for sharing,

Oh no, too much stress

Thanks,

Mark
