I was watching a movie called "Sin City" the other night and saw this special effect in the movie and wanted to recreate it as a sel poitrait. I wasn't sure how to go about doing it, but after several attempts figured it out. I used monochrome setting with black and white. Speed is 1/60, f stop is f4.5 and ISO is 800. I was wearing dark clothes and a black head cover. I went to the darkest are in my downstairs area to snap the image, but the glasses didn't give me the results I wanted. So I cut out pieces of white paper and taped it to my glasses and shazzam it worked. It looks kinda eerie, but I created the special effect I was trying to do.
You accomplished shot very well! It does have an eerie feel, but you conveyed a sense of mystery and wonder, which is not easy to do!
ReplyDeletethis reminds of of interviews you see with people who want to stay anonymous. neat idea.
ReplyDeleteRoger, you come up with some great ideas! I never would have thought of something like this. I was wondering how you got your glasses to stand out and when I read that you simply used paper I couldn't believe it! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool. I like that effect too and you did a good job re-creating it. Very innovative with the paper, man. Nice job
