Dead Legs Early Stages

Found some old pics showing process behind "Dead Legs". Just tried to keep moving - measuring first and then gradually thinking more about contrasts and last about color.







Someday I'll take some better photos(proper lighting, no glare and higher res) and upload them. I took this one at an angle on purpose just to get rid of the reflected light. Strange effect I think. Not at all the same as 90 angle photo.
