my first shoot with a model......

bandoni™ · 02-06-08, 09:38 PM

these are of my fiancee's friend who's boyfriend is in marine bootcamp right now and she wanted to send some pics of her and their child to send to him. so here goes, I used an sb-25 speed light in a soft box mounted on the camera. i love what this soft box can do, it really helps out with skin tone. I noticed that it makes the flash less noticeable and way less intrusive. so here goes keep in mind i have little to no experience shooting people CC is always welcome.

good job mark, i envy your collection. i need to catch up, just need the funds. haha

open pic 3 in photoshop and mess with the curves a little bit, you can get more out of that picture, it has great potential.

you have to pick up one of those soft boxes, it really helps out with the flash. the difference is day and night, I found mine at a camera store in Tempe for about 50 wing wangs. you could probably pick one up cheaper on ebay. I just like the instant gratification of buying stuff at a store and immediately playing with it. I also bought some close up filters too. (I swear I can't go into that store without spending at least a hundred bones)

would you mind if i sent you the raw ryan? see what the sig whisperer can do with it?

telafonic · 02-06-08, 10:04 PM

Looks good, hard to tell you're using a flash.

One thing I might recommend is using the sun to your advantage if the lighting is right. It looks like you took pictures when sunny and at dusk. Anyway, just get a reflector (just a windshield visor will work) and have a friend hold it and reflect the light how you want it. It's kind of fun and provides a natural light.

EDIT: Just saw that you are shooting in RAW, so is the noise because of JPEG?
Oh, and your white balance seems somewhat inconsistent. I do that all the time.

Are you shooting with a RAW capable camera? I just see some digital noise here and there that I'm guessing is just JPEG compression.

hmmm you bring up a good point, you think i could just use some of those car sunshades? you know the ones that look just like those reflector disc. I shoot in raw but I had to set the camera on auto so it was picking it's own iso. i didn't have a lot of time to play around with different settings.

yeah i tend to set the white balance to what i think looks good sometimes it's put on auto sometimes its set for daylight. I just try to feel it out ya know.

telafonic · 02-06-08, 10:19 PM

haha, yeah, believe or not the couple times that I've used those sunshades, they worked really well, and are much cheaper than professional ones. There are even different colors and finishes. I have those silver matte finish ones, but you can probably use more reflective ones. Just don't get the ones that don't have a smooth surface since you'll get weird reflections. I've even used a white cardboard box piece for a class I took and it worked pretty well.

Double Glow · 02-06-08, 10:37 PM

go for it dude, il take it.

bandoni™ · 02-07-08, 07:23 PM
