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. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hi there, Got myself 2 flash heads 110W and associated equipment from sirch55 on Friday. Here are the first couple of shots I took today with the setup. I used 1 light about 1 meter from the right hand side with a white reflector umbrella. I also used a cream coloured sheet as backdrop and should have used a black one behind the Camera got some ugly reflections in his eyes from the furniture in the room.  I’ve actually tried to get more shadows on the left hand side of his face, something I can work on next time.  Both shot at ISO 100; 1/125; f/4.0   Maybe someone here has got some good tips for setups. P.S. Thanks Chris "Old school" (Olympus OM 1&2SP )

The soft light suits this image.
If you want to get more shadows you can get the light closer to the child. (it's even mnore effective with a softbox as the spill is much less) You may need to reduce fill by moving the light coloured background away from the subject. However, this means you need to light it seperately.
Watch that white balance. I think it may be a tad warm.

Very much so, Craig. One of the tricks to this type of shooting is to remember that your lighting is constant. That means exposure is constant. And wb is constant, too. Set it once, and (as long as you don't change anything in your setup) forget it. g.

Glad to see that you put the lights to a really good first use Craig.  Chris
