[noruazumi]

how did you post-processed the images?
did u changed the color balance?

[jolipoli81]

she cute and look lovely.:flower:nice photo.

oh man, i dunno issit my 1st experience or what, but i have to admit, she is cute! very easy to communicate too....just knew her like few days ag before the shooting

how did you post-processed the images?
did u changed the color balance?

what i did is i add watermark in photoshop, post in flickr, and post it here...
never tune with the colour balance or quality

then it is your WB i guess. if u shoot in RAW, u can adjust the temperature & color tint of your photos using Adobe Camera Raw software.

[kiankheong]

She looked too pale in the first photo, almost ghostly.

Give her some Vitamin A and C, and adjust the colours to be warmer. ;)

[jolipoli81]

WB i set to auto like always....
well, i should try using RAW next time

[dnl8868]

yeah, i didnt realise it until i post it up....how can i deal with that? white balance?

...yeah think WB can help too or you can photoshop it a bit :)
skin color looks bit pale and oso bit bright
- was ISO set at minimum? -100?

oh gosh, no offence, but i think its a lil over....haha, thanks btw for giving comments....
btw, the ISO was 400, maybe i should lower it down in such condition where lights are allowed...
learnt my lesson

learnt my lesson

ye lor...he..he...no worry :P
me oso lstill learning
yes ISO too high at 400, that why i think skin color bit pale and bit burn-out
try shoot in RAW, more flexibility to photoshop...

the reason why i never shoot in raw is i dunno what to do with it after shooting raw, well, capacity is not an issue, just that i dunno what software to use to handle the raw....

[ACKT]

Nice series u have there n the gal is cute. ;)
Btw,u did use flash on the photo #8?Her upper body is filled with flash.

Becareful with your WB,the whole series is greenish,try to play with warm color or edit it in photoshop with color balance/hue & saturation.Just my 2 cent.:P

P.S:Like the photo #5 best but u need to play with compo.

:cheers: mate!:) I'm glad to give u more guidance in future.

[dnl8868]

Ooo..not so difficult to process RAW. Normally the camera you bought comes with a CD software or you can oso use photoshop, elements etc.
- with this you can adjust more as compared to jpeg format

8 to 10 is under expose...

It's not underexposed, see her shirt - if it were exposed any more her shirt would be blown.

It's just very badly and unevenly lit.

i always wonder how can i cope with this? did saw some reviews on D300 that have this function that makes the background and foreground equally bright, but im pretty sure with some skills or PP we also can do it, but i wonder how

It's not about camera features or PP, those can only enhance.

How you think people took beautiful portraits on film before computers?

It's about light, reflection, refraction, diffusion, shaping and most importantly understanding light and it's properties.

Photography is about light, until you fully understand light you won't get the results you want.

[EdwinTan]

follow up on ST -

as such we need to do pratice more often..

will be more observe on what i'm taking next time
thanks a lot! really appreciate it!

[ShaolinTiger]

Join an outing with some others, you can learn a lot.

If you have a free model even better, get a few people together (some with more experience) and learn from each other.

[EdwinTan]

#15 is nice :)

sorry couldn't get any closer capture due to crowded people at the moment, couldn't move forward at all, but i manage to stand up higher than everyone else by using my very own chair, haha.
C&C are welcome, C&C motivates us to capture more for u guys, thanks!

[jolipoli81]

moved to new thread

[ShaolinTiger]

If you want C&C you should start a new thread for each new set/subject..

Don't keep posting here.

im confused. often i saw ppl open new thread and get scolded by forumers that they should have posted in the own thread, but now u asked me to open a new thread for new set of photos.....

so which should i follow?

[EdwinTan]

joli - in here, it's different

if the theme/subject/location is different u can open a new thread...
if is same model + same location - u can continue in the same thread
