Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

LOL! my wife just called me and told me that my new flash arrived today. I ordered a YN560. I am currently in Chicago working, and wont be home until LATE Friday night in Indy. Saturday, heading to Roberts Photo in Indy to pick up a light stand, 45" westcott convertable umbrella, and a hotshoe/umbrella adapter.

I like the fourth and sixth the most. The only real critique i have is that they seem to be a little underexposed. Other than that, i think they are pretty great.

Number 1, 2 and 3 I didn't care for much. Technically they are pretty good, but they both look a bit stiff in their poses.
The two last ones are pretty good, but would be better if you cropped them a bit.
The fourth one is pretty good, there's just something I don't like about it... just not sure what.. The pose is good, she looks natural, all in all a good picture. I would have liked to see her right eye better though.
The fifth one: she's centered, and that's just boring, isn't it? 
The last one: again her head is centered, and the big red thingy just attracts attention from what you're actually trying to show (her). I'd crop it so the red thingy was gone, and her head was in the upper right third.
I think you're doing good though, adding a off-camera flash is one of the best way to get variation to your portraits.
Next time think composition and see if you can get the flash lighting them from an angle, that way you get a bit more shadow in their face (the good kind) and thus more contrast, making the photo "pop" a bit more.
A good start is having the flash at approx 45 degree angle, and slightly above her (just take care with the shadows under the chin (make her raise it enough to avoid the heavy shadows)
Again I don't want to sound overly critical, I'm trying to do as the japanse do here!
(In japan, if you speak a few words of japanese they fall over themselves and compliment you on your japanese, but if you speak it pretty well, they start correcting your mistakes instead )
