Hey, I've been away from here for a while.. but I have been busy taking photographs. Here are a few photos I took with my Fiancée as the model.

I used a Nikon D60 and off camera SB600 and a snoot made out of a frozen pastry cardboard box...

The fringing at the top of the mask is because of the cloak hood my fiancée was wearing... I can't figure how to get rid of it... The only editing I did was change the curves and normal RAW editing.

#3, pretty cool The best of the series I think. Being able to see the eyes and skin behind the mask really makes the shot. Good Job.

I think the #3rd shot is the pick of the bunch.
Would have liked to have seen the whole mask in the first shot.

You did well, nice going making a Snoot for your Flash too :clap
.... Skippy :D

I tried hard to get the mask in the centre with that lighting, but I never knew how hard it is to compose and shoot in a very dark room. haha.

I love my Snoot... the best thing I ever spent $3 on and then ate (contents that is)...:barb

I'm going to do another shoot but this time using a different mask... stay tuned! :)

Definitely like where your going with these. :clap

I was going with 3 over 4, but with the consensus going with 4
it very easy to see why they would be. :D

Nice work. :thumb

Thanks!

I actually preferred #4 myself, but I guess people see it different to me... although I can see why they would like #3. :D

I like the last one :thumb

As for the fringing on the top of the mask. Works good I think. Gives it some texture, but then again some could/would see it as a distraction from the smooth lines.

Thanks Dogdots! :thumb

For the next shoot I'm going to experiment a bit more and see if I can correct that fringing.
