Another one that I have played with from an impromptu setup of Paul's stand, umbrella and SB800 holder. If I was to critique this myself I would have decreased the appeture and shot it at around F5, this was F2.8 . Katie's forehead is a little on the hot side but it's a nice shot I think of the two of them. Comments welcomed:



Again in this 2nd one, we had the umbrella too directed towards Katie (only) and not even enough. The contrast between the light on each of their faces is distracting to me. It was fun to play around with the lights (SB800's) though!

I can't really comment on the lighting cause I only work with natural light and a bit of fill flash...but I think the portrait is a nice natural shot of them both and no doubt they will be well pleased with it!

Wow - a photo of me that i actually like!!!!

Thanks Geoff, we had a fun time.



Katie

Another couple of very good portraits and I like the tonal range in these two much better. It still does not look like the eyes are a point of focus in these portraits and I think one face is sharper than the other. Perhaps you should go at least f8?

Alex

The second one I consider better because the pose is more...homely? Togethernessey? Whatever.

Both are great, but i prefer the facial expressions in the 2nd

Nice work Geoff

going well Geoff!

In the 2nd picture, Craig has too much shadow (in comparison to katie) Might need to next time bring his head in closer, - aligned with hers or Ideally throw some more light on him from the right side.

Keep up the great work!
