TJLoneliness - Behind The Scenes;
For the past 2 weeks I've posted successive results without talking much or posting about the trials or behind the scenes shots and such; namely for "Introversion" and "Loneliness".
The fact is, the two shots that I've posted in the past 2 weeks are for the same set and I didn't change anything in the set except the camera position and perspective. So, for this post, I'm posting trials from the perspective that I've used for the latter shot, "Loneliness".
You can see here from these shots (which are not processed or adjusted much except maybe for the exposure a bit) how the background where I pin the matchsticks is covered in holes - such a lengthy work needed at the end of the day to fix those in PS. I've taken many shots here but I'm just displaying 4 of them. Each one is different in some aspect regarding the shadows (and some did have undesired flare to them). During the trials, I was reluctant to whether make the shadows point towards or away from the single matchstick on the box, until I've finally decided to let them point towards the box, as shadows in this manner would (or supposed to) keep the eye of the observer within the frame and not wander out or expecting something out, and in some way act as a focus-driving element to that single match on the box. All trials were done with f/16 and I didn't find it necessary to try out lower f-numbers (that is, to reduce the focus on other elements in the image by reducing the depth of field).
