Digital Imaging forum - dslreports.com community Digital Imaging forum current topics First model shoot... pics inside! 28 Aug 2008 at 12:48am Last week I happily announced that I had finally finished building my first small home studio. My younger brother agreed to serve as model for me for 40 minutes while I played with my new lights. It was only the test phase of something more fun to come! I had already asked my best friend Karine, with whom I've been very close since high school, if she would agree to model for me when it would be ready. She is pretty good looking and LOVES to have her picture taken, and on top of it all she is very photogenic. I think she was as excited as I was for today's shoot. And we did! And it was FANTASTIC! I think I will never forget that first day. You read and see so much, and hope that one day, you will perhaps even approach the smallest fraction of the quality of some photos you are looking at. And today, I did! I still have so much to learn, but I am VERY happy with how this 4 hours shoot turned out. It was nothing very fancy nor extreme, but we had many laughs. She was nervous as hell at first, and I have a few very good "candid bloopers" where she just loses her serious looking model look and explodes in laughter. I have attached a few of my favorites, and am still going through the 846 exposures I made (though to be honest, I probably won't have more than 30 keepers!) This is the beginning of a very exciting 10 months. Today I only had 3 lights, one 48" Umbrella and one 22" Beauty Dish to work with. No grid, no snoot, no gels, no softboxes... they will be added to my arsenal eventually as I can afford it. That 77mm FA Limited is absolutely WONDERFUL and I CANNOT wait to get the 50-135mm. My full body shots were made using a 12-24mm (not enough depth for my 77mm) and I'm only half satisfied with the result! As always I very much always appreciate your comments and criticism! Full shoot is at http://www.fcphotog.com/photos/ under portraits->Karine. Shooting For A Cause: Status Update 25 Aug 2008 at 10:48pm Just a quick status update. Thanks to the efforts of uid://335660, uid://1519135, and uid://579275, the photos have been selected. We have 12 photos picked for each of the 4 calendars, plus 4 extra per topic for the photo books. I've edited the photos to prep them for the calendars. Next, I'm going to make the covers. Then, I'm going to prep everything for the books. With all I have to do, I might not make it by the Sept 1st deadline, but I'll strive to have it done as quickly as possible (without sacrificing quality, of course). Next week, I'll post a list of the selected photos. EDIT: I've reconsidered when to post the list of selected photos. I'll compile it tonight and post it either tonight or early tomorrow. This way if there are any typos, they'll have time to be corrected. -- -Jason Levine Support a children's charity. Buy a calendar. Shooting For A Cause Jason's Toolbox | PCQandA.com Edit This! -- Artify© Edition #199 22 Aug 2008 at 5:28pm Hi all, I'm not hearing much singing over in Artify #198 land but here I go anyway. I've once more been given the honour (thanks uid://167991 for naming me) of launching this weeks Artify thread. Let's see what can be done with some quite unrelated images (I was asked for 1 or 2 so I think I've gone overboard). Anyone new to this can look here for how this all got started: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11669313 . Also, please don't forget to resize your works of art to a maximum of 1024 pixels wide. Optional but important: Documenting any methods, tricks, actions etc. used in making your derivative image would be helpful for anyone new to this great forum.

Gooiool©2005 My Photo Site [CritEditY] Help please 25 Aug 2008 at 12:41pm I have not done much landscape stuff. What needs to be done to improve this photo? What did I do that is ok if any? What can I do differently the next time to make a better photo? Shot in Aperture Priority-Shutter 1/400-f/6.3-70mm-ISO 400. 7:15PM Post your Flickr Link 5 Aug 2008 at 2:49pm How about we share each others FLICKR photostreams. I'll start. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rubenzamora/ [ID?] can anyone id this lure? 25 Aug 2008 at 3:23pm its a metal lure and has what looks kinda like oyster shell for scales and the whole body moves [FYI] I wish I could post some of the shots from this session he 26 Aug 2008 at 6:07pm Due to the age of the subject, I cannot post these in my gallery. Her mother and instructor hired me for a 2 hour in-house studio session and the images were absolutely lovely. This is regarding Bharata Natyam, a traditional dance with centuries of history from India. I wish I could share more of them as the colors on the costume were amazing and it looks like whoever did the web page did a good job of hacking the crap out of the fully body image. http://vrindavanacademy.com/events.html -- Some assembly required, your mileage may vary, no pixels were harmed in the writing of this post.
