Awesome work man!! Definitely one of your best. I love everything about it. PS: What was the setup for this? Were you shooting from a balcony?

Great work Sam. You might be able to correct the lens distortion in camera raw. In my opinion, I usually prefer the distortion, as most lenses distort by bulging in the centre of the frame, bringing the subject closer and making them stand out from the background.

Thanks man, yeah you can do it in photoshop (filter > lens correction). It uses the lens profile and how close the subject is to work out how much it's distorted, then corrects it. You can also correct vignetting (useful on full frame, though I often like the natural vignette) as well as chromatic abberation. I printed it at a2 today, stoked with the detail in the reflection. Hmm. I wonder just how big I could get this printed.

Hey all, been a long time since I've been here, and I must admit, the quality of everyone's work has risen since I left. To the point where I'm hesitant to come back. Seriously impressive photos over the last pages.
Sam (on other page), it would be interesting to see a copy with distortion corrected, just cos.
Sam (on this page), his pose reminds me of '80's glamour shots, clutching the collar and all. That said, I dig. But I ain't the first word in portraits, someone else could offer a more constructive response..
Anyway, I have found myself settled in Nairobi, Kenya, with, until now, an old SRT101 to serve me. After losing every third roll to the developers, I decided enough was enough and bought some new lenses for my 40D, which was busy gathering dust and weighing down my backpack (My lens died over a year ago, and in a quest to save weight in the pack, only brought the one, and my S90 was stolen in Italy). But now, after 12 months of travelling with no functioning digital camera, I have just acquired a Canon 85 f1.8, and it feels good...
I have only played for one afternoon, just with natural light, but I see potential in this lens. These are both kids from the children's centre my mum manages here.

so, its been quite some time since I was last in here actually posting, and I'm a bit embarrassed to post anything up because everyone else has just smashed it out and i've been a bit left behind I reckon, but never the less, I am here, and I shall post.
That moment when you realize your actually in the complete middle of no where
That even shitter moment when even 44" snow tires can't save you

For some reason I always thought Iceland was a lush green place, with Greenland being the one covered in ice... Either way, incredible situation to have captured!Thay would be my second home, Iceland

Haha, its not always snowed under, in summer is quite green, not exactpy lush though. Greenland is however always snowed under hahs, so your outlook is pretty bang on.
Cool shots Karnige182, I feel like its missing some highlights though, too much recovery perhaps. Just a bit grey, could be the cameras metering system.
The backdrop is wrapping paper, haha. I tried everything I could to stop the reflections. It wasn't going to happen, so i decided to use a single 430exII on camera to try and hide the reflections. Didn't work, back ground aside, i like it!
Ahh mannn, did not see white specks on jacket.
