BIGGY

Hey Andy, this is Michael Novo (you just liked my duck comic on Facebook).  I like the shots, this could be just totally me, but in one shot where she is wearing the blue shirt and the crop of her...

No it's not in the rules, especially because the prints are used in multiple competitions.  I'm just wondering what others have done.

Hi all!  Has anyone done any prints for competition before?  My print lab does the competition printing except I've only printed straightforward portraits for clients before.  Is the matting around...

Was doing headshots of 'Mike' from the show and the last couple I snapped were for me to tinker with...this is what I came up with. Even though he's always playing bad guys, it was funny when he...

Are you interested in tinkering around or in learning lighting?  I'm going to use a very loose comparison.  When I want to learn how to ride a motorcycle, I go and take a course first, get my...

Best camera?  The one in your hands.  None of the cameras listed are going to make a real significant difference.I was in Cancun to shoot a wedding and then a few days later I shot an engagement...

Agreed, good concept though.

If you're looking for C&C it might be lacking on this image.  I say this honestly as a constructive feedback.  The shot just looks like it was taken out of a car window and could have been captured...

I like'em!  I think in the third one it would be nice to have that same color pop but if she was on a solid backdrop so either all grass or all cement so that there aren't two elements in the...

I'm going to disagree with BobSC.  If you're new, like very new.  Don't edit more, edit less.  To start off with I feel that learning digital should be in a similar manner to film where most...

The shots are not bad...any of her looking at the camera?  :)I like to get a mix of looking and not looking otherwise it becomes a little bit too one sided.

In the first image, the lighting is off and you begin to lose the subjects eyes, more so on the camera left side.  If the main source was an overhead light, I would pull it back towards the camera...

What Brooke said is spot on.  A photographer is very much a psychologist...be it with a model, a family, a wedding, or especially kids.  The communication, mood, presence, and trust you establish...

Well C&D were a result of me not liking that dress which she wore.  Nothing wrong with the dress, but it was low hung and didn't look very flattering with exposing most of her arm.  So I had this...

Glad you like them!  My retouching was not much and I didn't touch any wrinkles.  I mostly used "more light" when shooting to try and avoid heavy processing later.  While I didn't actually remove...

Funkisized :)

If you're not way too upset over my critique of Lizzi, I noticed that you said this same line in the other thread.  Being accepted for stock is easy.  Stock photographers I know will take months to...

Posted this in the wrong section at first accidentally, so now on to the people forum :)I know it's a strange title for a post, but I sat and thought about it and realized that this was my first...
