Project 52 by Hasso Hirvesoo

Excellent Hasso. Are those white dots some plant things floating in the air?

HaSSo, you have a knack for pulling one great image after another out of your bag of tricks! I really like what you have done with # 20 in particular. Well done.

These floating "stars" are mosquitoes in the night sky.

Wow, your light is amazing to me. So soft and yet the detail is striking.

Excellent Hasso. Wonderful combination of colors. A pro's work. However your model is lost in the frame, she is too small I think.

Can you tell us few words about your technique? Have you used a light modifier on your flash?

I. Camera setup
Shutter 1/160, F11, ISO 100, metering-spot and -0,3
Lens: old russian beleng MC A 2,8/17
White balance-my "own" grey card
II. Flash
Vivitar 283 on manual mode.
III. Silver umbrella.
IV. Flash distance from subject ap~5 meters.

Flash was needed to avoid shadows on the limestone cliff and to illuminate her face.

Hi Hasso,

I agree the girl is somewhat lost in the frame; perhaps a vertical crop from the middle, with sea, rocks on left and the towering cliff on right. If there's a human in shot, I always like to be able to see their face clearly, fortunately you posted big enough to allow that (thanks).

With such I nice girl, I almost missed the not quite level horizon ;) :D

I haven't replied here before, so I'd like to say you certainly have produced some wonderful images over many weeks.

Cheers,

Morning, just after sunrise. 4.41AM (+02.00 GMT). In the middle of swamp.

A good mixture of textures with these two shots. Softness and fine detail combined.

Some experiment, 3D

Love the Rococo colors!

Excellent focus and exposure. Once again, a nice mixture of hard and soft elements. And, for me, those shadows add a little extra 'depth' to the scene.

some nice pics more from this session
