Can I bore you with one more?

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Sorry.

I'm excited that I am getting the results I want from the studio :up:

This one is of my daughter, she was excited that she got her own "private" session, without the boys!!!

Cheers,

:D

Nice shot and nice studio lighting setting. Did you use a flash meter to check the lighting intensities around the shooting area? From the photo, I think it's very much evenly lit, which is usually hard to set up.

Another nice shot.

Any chance you can take a step back and show us a shot of your setup??

Thanks liberty. I don't own a lightmeter, was thinking about it, maybe one day. I have been keeping a lighting log book where I draw little setup diagrams and flash/camera settings etc... So I know pretty much what to set the lights to and what f stop to set the camera to. This one was f13 (I just leave the shutter at 200), ISO 100

Thanks Matt, this one is my favourite so far. I will put the 24mm on may other camera and take a setup shot. I am using the 70-200 at the moment so I can't get any setup shots with that lens.

Here is the rest from that session if you are interested: - http://follanphotography.zenfolio.com/p727908273/, including a semi setup shoot (well you can see the top of the softbox anyway :lol: )

Cheers.

Nice shot Woody, good exposure, nice expression and sharp eyes, not to mention bright colours. You should be happy with this one.

Attached to her arms :roll:

I am sick of getting the floor in the shot so I framed a little tighter, depending on how I use the image I could crop a little more off the bottom. Getting some props (chairs) tomorrow so this will resolve the floor issue.

Your daughter is adorable and I absolutely love the wonderful vibrant colours in this shot.

Thanks Chris. Yeah I think she is pretty cute too, must take after her mum :wink:

Here is another that I love from that shot. I have actually used this one in some advertising.

These are really good shots! I'm guessing your daughter is fairly photogenic? It's sometimes the hardest thing getting the shots you want with kids.

Hey Phoenix,

Yeah Sienna is pretty good in front of the camera. Actually she is really good at following instructions. If I ask her to stand a certain way she does it pretty much straight away. Not like her Brothers that are just not good at all!!!

I have a pretty good connection with most kids so I don't find it to hard to direct them. Adults on the other hand are impossible for me (in the studio, weddings are ok). I am not real great with models/adults :)
