Nice work.

I like the use of color throughout your images. however, I believe some of the images possibly display "over sharpening" , as they lack the smoothness of tones, like a traditional print, and seem somewhat grainy, which really shouldnt be present with flash photography. Was this accidental or purposely done? Was it possibly caused by compression of the originals?

On a side note, you should amend the captions on the bottom of the photos, as the D1x is a digital "slr" not a digital "35mm" camera. it has nothing to do with film. only the body and lenses are in common. the formats are completely unique.

thanks again for the images, i look forward to see more.

Johnny,

Thanks for the comments.

I beleive the "oversharpening" you refer to is most likely caused by the compression used to make these images small enough file sizes to load quickly. I have done some sharpening on them, but not that much, and the original files before compressing are cleaner than the web images.

Good point on the slr vs 35mm phrase. I will change the wording since slr woud be a better description.

Thanks,

Greg Suvino
 
Greg,
Do those skin tones appear correct in your set up.
I see them as very unnatural.

With my setup the skin tones are close. I do not think that they are dead on, but I am sure each person will see color a bit different. I also realize that from monitor to monitor, there will be differences. On both my laptop and desktop (Macs), the images appear to be very close on skintones.

So far you are the first to mention this and I am curious as to what you see.

Greg,

Here we see some overexposure and a yellow/green tint.

I will check tonite in my 10000% calibrated monitor and let you know.

Regards

I see it too, although on a (blush) uncalibrated RGB display... an unnatural, yellowish tone in the head shots.

Very interesting. Thanks for the input. I will have to take a look at these tonight on my desktop monitor. I have been doing most of my work lately on my laptop, and I know that it is not the most accurate for color.

I also realize that much of what every person sees will depend upon his or her monitor, but I am glad to get this feedback.

Sincerely,

hey greg,

when you compressed your images for the web, did you sharpen before or after you resized?

To my knowledge most use a "work-flow" of:

image editing, then resize, then sharpen.

if you sharpen last, it will reduce the amount of artifacts that are created and introduced by the compression. It also allows "what you see is what you get", as opposed to sharpening then resizing which will could alter your "finished" image.

hope i helped,

johnny
 
Johnny,

These images were sharpened before compressing them for the internet. I will go back to the original files and try it the other way to see what the difference is.

Thanks for the tip.

Greg
 
Sssheez! Thanks for putting up a great gallery of images! Your work is great to see and we all certainly appreciate the effort you;ve taken to bring your images to all of us. As for the color, sharpening, yakkiity yak, there is almost no way that the diversity of calibration, gamma, viewing environment and all of the other factors one deals with in viewing images on screen, can be controlled so that we all see the absolute same thing.
The images look great. Good job.
Kevin
 
Kevin,

Thanks.

I realize that there is no way for me to prepare these images so that everyone sees the same thing unless I do a show at a gallery. There are too many variables in image quality on the internet. But I do appreciate everyones feedback, and it has given me thoughts of different ways to process some of my images.

I have noticed that the same image files that have been uploaded to the my website look much better in photoshop than they do on the web. On the web they tend to get a bit flat and loose color saturation or shift colors and get a bit cold.

I will try to load some more images this weekend depending upon time.

The images of the two black female models, and the 3 commercial shots after that image are NEF files, the rest are Jpeg Large files.

I think they are great images, too! Were they originally
"captured" as NEF's or JPG's?

The Black and White shot of the model leaning against the wall, the shot of the two Black Female Models, the Yellow Door and the Sprinkler Drain shot were done with a Nikon 17-35mm AFS Lens. The rest were shot with a Nikon 80-200mm AFS Lens.

Greg, 1st class shots and I like your Web presentation, I to see some yellow tinge, but am aware of monitor and laptop and what everyone has at home, yadda yadda yadda. Good work, are you gettig more film or digital requests ? I am doing 99% digital and well recieved with the E-10.

The best always.

I have set up a section on my website for me to showcase come D1X
images. These images have been reduced in size to allow the pages
to load quickly.

More images will be added as time permits.

Thanks.

I am finding that more and more people want digital. I have noticed this trend at the studio for a little over the past year since we got our large format digital camera at the studio. People were a bit hesitant at first until after seeing the advantages to shooting their jobs digitally.
