    Today in photo class our teacher busted out the studio lights, really old and cheap ones to add, for our reallyreally inexperienced class. I'm pretty much the only one that knows what I'm doing, has experience and actually has a DSLR and a pro film camera. Anyways, I was helping people out with setting up the lighting and whatnot, and decided to move in someones shoot. I just stood behind the person doing the shoot and did my best to get a good shot. About 80% didn't come out how I liked, either she wasn't looking right, the lighting was off, or just bad framing/angle. These are the few that actually came out decent.


    note that I wasn't directing the shoot, I was simply snapping shots when I could. And others managed the lighting. Everything was taken with my Canon 350D and 85mm f/1.8 @ f/2.8.














    And totally unrelated to the above, a random shot from a week ago.

    Hi all,


    This may not be an appropriate place for this post but why not if it can help with PP of portraits.


    Just a new (noticed only now) thing I ran into. If you use photoshop cs4 for processing raw images, in Adobe camera raw, there is a control called "Clarity". If you move the slider to the left, it makes the picture creamier and gives the skin a soft look. Thought I will share it here





    Cheers!

    Or, if you slide it to the right, it gives a bit more of a Dave Hill style. Not totally, but a bit.
