Mpieris,
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Love 'em all. Very engaging images.
Since you wish a critique, I would only say that the first portrait appears flat in an unflattering way. Better light play would have enhanced it, I think.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not familiar with BBcode. Is there an easier way to share the photo from my iPad? I use it more frequently and the only way I found to do it was upload the image to Flickr and then share the link.Quote:

I like this photo and the pose seems fine to me. The only thing that is a little distracting to me is the gate/barrier behind her. It's not straight in some places. It doesn't look quite right.

- Open your Photo Stream
- Scroll through the thumb nails and click on the photo you want to post so it is being viewed
- Above the photo being viewed is a drop down arrow that says "Share".
- Three methods of sharing will show up. They are: "Share this via...", "Grab the link" and "Grab the HTML/BBCode"
- Click on "Grab the HTML/BBCode"
- At the bottom, select "BBCode"
- In the drop down arrow choose the size of picture you want to post. It shows pixel size (I usually choose 800 pixels wide).
- Then right mouse click on the code in the text box and the whole mess will highlight and you can click "copy".
- Now all you have to do is go to your post... right mouse click and click on the "paste" selection.
Well, under duress, I was talked in to shooting people--The parents of my future grandchild---Anyway, Knowing that I don't shoot people, they talked me in to it any way, and this was the result--Please feel free to critique my first serious people shot.

7d, 50 1.2L, one light flash and umbrella to the left, black background
F4, 1/1000, ISO 100, Flash at ETTL---I know, the settings don't make sense, but really, this is what they were.
Thanks but this looks to be instructions for the computer. I don't think it will work from the iPad, which is what I use more frequently.Quote:

The only other thing that might have aided the portrait was doing the session slightly earlier in the pregnancy. There's an ideal window to do maternity portraits. One maternity photographer put it to me this way, "There are stages to pregnancy--from glowing, to showing, to beautiful bump, to get this thing out of me!"Quote:

My wife doesn't want pictures of our daughters plastered all over the internet, which is most of the pictures I take. But, I think this one is safe. It's a portrait in that she is posing for it, and we happened to be sharing the park worker's umbrella a few feet away from her. It's not a lucky shot either. She purposely stood there for multiple takes.

I darkened it to bring out the water, but it looks very underexposed on my screen now.
It should work on the iPad too, unless flickr gives you the mobile view. Unfortunately there is no way to change back to full view (at least I haven't found it - flickr, shame on you).Quote:

Nice shot Alicia. Also... welcome to the club ;)
Very nice shot. Doesn't hurt to have a cute model either.
Wonderful portrait of a beautiful little girl!Quote:

Here's an attempt at high key from this weekend. Have to thank my daughter for again being patient with Dad.

Great work Brian. I know what it's like for kids to sit still and act normal (LOL) for more than three seconds....This my take.

Thanks Guys for the nice feed back. I used Canon 580EX flash with a diffuser on it.Quote:

Thanks for viewing.
Brilliant shot Steve. Mixture of contrast and colours are beautifully captured
Here are a couple portraits I've taken recently. The first one is a friends sister who recently got married, second one is a family friend and co-worker, and the third is childhood friend who just pasted her boards to be a physician assistant.

Welcome to the forums, Hero. Great professional looking protraits. Lighting is spot on.
Thanks. I stumbled across the site this morning and I've spent the better part of the day reading reviews on the site and topics in the forum.Quote:

Welcome, Hero ...these portraits are absolutely fantastic! Very well done!
Great shots Hero. Welcome to the forum.
I see you are from Tallahassee. I graduated highschool and college there.:cool:

Welcome, Patrick! Like the 2nd shot best. Great work on all of them! I've got friends from tallahasee that live up in NC where I went to college. Went to school for mechanical engineering, now they own a beer brewery... guess all that drinking we did paid off in some way.
Dave
I'd just like to say thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I'm looking forward to interacting with people equally addicted and fascinated with photography. My wife can only take so much of me talking about it before she stops pay attention. ;)
Took some shots of friends for their baby turning 3 months. We had been taking them here in SC for maternity and newborn, but since we were all going to be in KC for a minute, I figured there was as good a place as any to get them!

This was two shot blend done with some layer masking in photoshop. The buildings were about 2-3 stops too bright for the subjects to be a proper exposure.

Sorry, big post. Thanks for looking.
Dave.
Nice ones Dave, i like the second one and the last one the best.
I'm with Steve, I like the second one the best. Seeing those pictures reminded me of this one I took of my son when he was about that age, 4 or 5 months old. My wife, son, and I sneaked into the football stadium early on a Saturday morning to get a picture of him on the field. We had planned on him sitting next to the helmet but as soon as we set him down he rolled over and assumed the position of doing push-ups.

Give me 20. He looks serious, he probably thinks those shoes are inappropriate for a workout. Nice pic.:)
Boy. I had to swallow hard before I posted this question. I haven't been able to access any of the photos. All of the links start out like this (or some variation) [img]/cfs...and so on. It's not showing up as a "link" so how do I access the body of work?
Thanks! :'(
Steve (Slim),
I think you are looking at older posts. The forum was migrated to a new platform, and links to images directly uploaded into the forum software broke. Links to external pages (flickr etc.) were not affected. Links to new images uploaded directly into the forum platform do work. I think the cutoff date was some time in 2011
HTH,
Arnt
Lots of old topics/posts are truncated too, so if it seems like a post is short or has little knowledge added to it, that could be the problem as well (or it was one of my posts) and just ask agai
See what I did there :)
Slim this is a pretty friendly forum. There's no need to swallow hard before posting just about anything!Quote:
