This was great, sunlight, into reflector, close to subject (as illustrated by the balancing crew!!!)



this one is simply with reflector overhead, no flash


into sun with flash for fill


One of my favourites for the day


No flash, a little dark on subjects face...

What great images that have so far been posted. My shots are in the processing queue.
What a great day. My special thanks to Anthony for his set ups and instructions throughout the day. Do I remember it all? No! But some did stick. Thanks also to Bruce for opening up his home together with Luke, Kylie & Jordan, Chris for letting us use his 2 daughters, Laura & Kelly.

I don't know that much about portraiture and relevant lighting, but to my untrained eye the second shot has the nicest skin tones, though the third one is also nice with the background/context visible.


Cheers

Agree, and I noticed this aswell. I would expect this to be due to my WB settings. I was most likely in WB-sunshine in number two, and forgot to change to WB-cloudy or WB-Flash when I turned my flash on for fill. (im new to WB, so was not a natural setting change for me, but learning...)

I love #2, nice WB, exposure, and cheeky smile!

Chris

Like No. 2 as well. Very nice smile.

Oz, #2 is the pick for me as well.

Not sure whether you shot in raw or jpeg but maybe tweak the contrast a bit as the images seem a bit flat and lack a bit of contrast. A slight recrop of the second one so that she's in the centre rather than slightly off to the left would be great too.

The rest of the pics, the composition is pretty much spot on.

I'll PP a few of my images when I get the chance, maybe tonight, all my posts to date have been straight off the card

I like 2nd last the most.
