I gave myself a 20mm and 50mm prime for christmas to give me some more compact options so I will take the camera more places, and so the camera came to NYE with me. As I was sitting there with the other half I realised we were in that wonderful 10 mins of 'golden light' and got this frame:



I showed her to explain the golden light idea, and explain why I wanted her to sit there and let me shoot a few shots. She decided it was bad, and stopped me taking any more!!! One day I will learn... NEVER SHOW THE LCD!

I did get this one of a friend before we lost the light



While I am posting NYE portraits, one from a little later

Your girlfriend reminds me of Angelina Jolie.

In my (limited) experience girls are rarely happy with photos of themselves.

Dawesy - that first shot is a cracker! Beautiful light, beautiful girl and wonderfully framed. Her parents might like this as a print?

I really like all 3 shots.

As far as critique is concerned:

Pic #1 - remove trees from bottom of image by cloning.

Pic #2 - crop bottom to remove hand and glass

Pic #3 - clone out top left hand side

I just adore pics of young ladies wearing glasses

great stuff! I really do like the candid nature of the first!

golden hour has been used for good and not evil here

So true, every time I convince a friend to let me shoot them, they dislike the shots. Then I show them to people who don't know the girl, they tell me how beautiful and photogenic she is!

Thanks for the comment, not a bad idea either! I might take her out for another sunset and see if we can't iprove on it. I literally only got one frame this time!

All great suggestions and I shall do just that to finish these off I think.


Thanks all for the positive comments!
