Shiho Matsuri - Lost

One of my shots from my recent cosplay event album COSMANIA X

Check my Camera Data at the right part of this page for the settings I used.

Model: Michelle Claire
Location: The Church beside SMX Convention Center at SM Mall Of Asia
Unit: Nikon D40 + Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G
Speedlite: Nissin Di622 w/ cap diffuser

My guest foreign cosplayer from Malaysia I invited to attend COSMANIA X for and together with CPG

The outfit was made here in the Philippines for her, please bear with if it wasn't that good, we have to rush it xD

Deconstruction / Details of the shot:

If you guys would notice I kept shooting these days under F/1.8 or the lowest possible aperture, and yes this shot was taken under f/1.8 and the time of that day was around noon/lunchtime. I used 2 pcs ND4 filters

My Nissin Di622 with a cap diffuser on it to spread the fill light around my range was set at around 1/32 of a power.

I have to remove unwanted/unnatural colors. What do I mean is I killed/removed the colors that are not visibly seen on the location itself when I took the shots that usually appears after you took the shots.

White balance is a big factor on this kind of shots, so be aware of the white balances that you are using as I set mine under AUTO = +3 on this one to cool down the ambient lighting since we're having a direct sunlight.
