Feels a wee bit washed out in the foreground. Like I feel like squinting a little even though it is a picture.

May be my monitor though.

srika

you're right - it is washed out - but that is the look I was going for

Success!

It has a vintage look. I dig.

The white shirt and the woman's back are a bit too much. Not sure about the grain either.

srika

thanks, what can I do about the woman's back? she was massively sunburnt -

Offer to rub some sunscreen on her

up in the front, there weren't any hawt chicks, but I assure you, there are plenty here in Vancouver... at least this part of Vancouver. My gym is on the 2nd floor of a popular intersection, and the eye candies that walk by while I do cardio everyday are motivating

damn, no wonder why I've been in a slump doing cardio.
No hotties.

I shot this today, halfway across, I thought, hey dumbass, take a picture. Pulled my phone from my leg pocket, unlocked the screen. ANd click, didn't think it was going to turn out. I'm pretty surprised that the iP4 nailed it.

I'd rather see color in fruits. But I like how the BW shot still makes them look so juicy

Hey...I have almost the exact same shot...lol..very nice..

wndrlst

Ha, thanks!

It wasn't the very best time of day, but at least the clouds were pretty. I was wishing I'd brought a longer lens, there were four herons fishing off the rock right in front of us for quite a while.

drigo. I love the lighting and bokeh on your portrait. I think that particular shot and pretty model needs eye contact though. That and it makes the glue on eyelashes too distracting.

thanks...i know what you mean..i went downtown last night to take some pics and some local photographers were doing a shoot..turns out they were teaching a class on strobes and lighting...so naturally i stopped to watch...they had a few models posing in different areas so i decided to walk around and try to sneak in a few shots it was funny cause since they were using triggers..i had to try my best to time my shots with whoever was shooting so i can catch the softboxes going off...i got lucky with a couple of shots but for the most part they were all bad...i think i was able to get one with her looking straight up...i'll check later and post..
quick question...most of you guys here know i do landscapes...but when you do portraits...mainly headshots...do you always focus on the eyes?

JLatimer

Some of the other guys here do a lot more portraits. Rules can be broken but in most cases you want at least one eye sharp in a portrait. Also eyes should line up on one of the thirds lines. And when using strobes try to have only one catchlight in the reflection. Since we tend to relate with people by eye contact you want to see that contact in a portrait.


However a lot depends on your subject matter. For example if you are highlighting stunning hair you might not even see the eyes. I have also seen shots of very freckle faces where the freckles become the focus and not the eyes.

Short answer is yes... Long answer is maybe...

JLatimer

Oh yeah and nice work for creeping in on others strobes.

drigo

lol..it was kinda tricky...but here's the shot i caught when she was looking straight..again i had no control of her movements or lighting...i was just in the background...
btw..how do you get rid of the reflections in her eyes?
