A day out at the Playboy Mansion this post should have been Titled.

2nd & Last are my Favs.

Better colours & less harsh flash make them nice.

You luckyyyyyyyy Boy, have you cleaned your drool off your D70 yet.
Oh sorry, I have to clean it off my monitor here.

I'm off for a STIFF brandy. :wink:

Mic. :wink: :wink:

Spooky great work with the SB800 straight out of the box. 2&4 seem to have the most pop for me, but then I would like 2 just for the subject matter :wink: Well done, I am envious.

Watch out for the shadows as your models are too near the background and also the distracting background (people, other photographers etc..). The 5th picture is over exposed. You can dial the flash down by 1/3 to 2/3 to prevent overexposure and burning out highlights. As you are the official photographer, you can choose the best spot where the overhead light is best and most plain simple background available.

cheers,

Arthur

Brett - lovely shots but my favourite has to be the last one. A little bit of PP cloning on the highlights would make this a framing pic :wink:

woof..... :shock: Beautiful women in Oz....

My favs are 2 & 4. Nice, interesting shots.

The group shot looks soft to me. Nice "exposure" though.... 8)

nice shots.... and i know you couldn't control backgrounds etc... so well done. I'd watch the exposure a little, and consider cloning out the birthmark in the first shot...

nicely done.

cheers

Thanks for all your comments.

In PP I went through the images on my pc and adjusted levels where necessary. It looked pretty good I thought.

I jsut took the disc to my wifes computer and eeeek. All the images look considerably brighter and more exposed on her monitor.

Maybe I need to calibrate my monitor or something. There is a big difference between the appearance of the images between the two monitors.

Do they look a big "bright" or overexposed on your monitors?

Can anyone point me towards good info on calibrating my monitor so I can get a good exposure level in PP?

Thanks

There appears to be a disportionate amount of a certain gender in the audience. They seem quite keen on something...and salivary glands seem to be working well, quite illogical (gets out his spock ears).

FWIW, your pics look pretty good on my monitor, even for brightness... :shock:

Perhaps it's the other monitor that is too bright.

Here's a quick and dirty way to get your monitor close to calibrated for web stuff.
