August 2009 Photo Thread

[siddr20]

Did a photoshoot for a friend of mine.. Will only post up 2 for now, as i dont think she wants all her photos posted across the forums lol..

- Yup no skin processing as we both didnt want to do it.. We wanted natural looks and skin tones. Hope you like it.

imo, that second pic would have lost its appeal if it was too processed

[siddr20]

none of these pics have been processed.. Usual raw processing such as increasing contrast and brightness.. Otherwise left it as it is..

[Basti]

i meant te skin smoothing or whatever. her laugh lines and stuff really add character to the photo.

I like the 2nd one best. Woulda been better if her hand wasn't cut out of the frame though...

Yup exactly.. Thats why i dont like airbrushed pics.. Takes away the persons character and self image i guess..

Cool dude. Is that her R32? That 3rd one looks like a cut and paste job on her, am I correct?

[siddr20]

Yup thats her 32.. shes selling it if anyone is keen? lol.. Shes a member on here!! Sorry boys shes taken

Nope no cut and paste jobs.. I dont believe in all that..

Just different location thats all.

She needed to turn her head a little bit more to her right as well as her left eye is under-exposed but it's really only a minor thing.

You've done well.

i like the 2nd one, looks great!

speaking of dogs, playing with a friends 50mm 1.4 AF pentax lens to compare it with my old manual...

looks pretty good. but i still think the old one has more sharpness to it

[Passive]

Photos are looking great!!! I love the clarity that cameras get these days!!!

I lurve the pics of the puppy playing at the beach, they always look so happy

[siddr20]

dodgsun - lovely!!! So clear and sharp.. and nice bokeh too

Whats your old 50mm one?

[GoldZilla]

Ian (Xmetal) kindly lent me his f/1.8 50mm Canon lens to experiment with, and I was using it to capture some water shots I've been experimenting with, and learn more about my camera and its controls in the process.

Anyway, a few hours before I gave it back to him (thanks again, man!), i went out to experiment with different apertures to see what results I would get regarding depth of field... My old man had his car parked out the front, and it was a good time of day with the sun starting to set, so off I went outside with camera and tripod... I haven't done any post-processing on the shots.

Here are the two extremes of aperture and how they affected the DoF in the shot;

f1.8, 1/500 shutter speed, ISO-200

f/22, 1/13 shutter speed, ISO-800
