Love the blue eyes in the third shot, Sidd! Are they contacts? Her eyes don't look blue in any of the other shots.

[siddr20]

Really it looks blue?? Thought it was green..

nah nah no contacts.. I added it in.. I went overboard with that pic.

But please let me know what colour eyes you see coz i got a new lcd screen yesterday. Still not use it

Looks blue with a green tinge to me... Actually, they look good. Very good... Lol. Nice shots man.

[siddr20]

hmm interesting.. Will check out that pic on another monitor.

I should have just saved more money and bought a IPS panel monitor than this rubbish TN crap.. AARGH!!

Cheers mate.. Im happy for my 1st time in a studio by myself... Prior to this i only took 5-10 photos as i was only there to help another photographer. Was eager to get back into a studio and try it out.

Its deff hard trying to control the lighting.

to me they look pale blue, and that 2nd pic is really good mate!!

what lights are you using?

[miss_petepie]

wow love the pic where she has blue eyes cheeky smile

your portraits are very nice that you do

[siddr20]

Going to get the monitor calibrated tomorrow. Hopefully the colours improve on my screen.

In regards to lighting - Well it varied for each shot. But i used three strobes all up.

One to over power the backdrop on most photos.

The other two strobes had different setups - ie. One had a beauty dish and the other had a large softbox attached to it. Or at times i only used the beauty dish and one strobe to overpower the backdrop.

The last pic i posted had no backdrop light.. I used two strobes only, with main light on small softbox at 1/2 power and the other large softbox as fill light at say 1/8th power or so.

So honestly it varied depending on shot and what i wanted.

Thanks miss petepie Appreciate it.

[zei20l]

nice work!!

what brand strobes?

i gotta get myself a portable softbox to chuck on a lightstand.

[Lv2exlr8]

I apologize if this is not the correct place to post this, and the picture is not mine. I am just wondering how this effect is produced? Filter i presume?

Again not my image.

[Sl!m]

hmm just looks like a HDR.. all post processing done on a PC.. and of course long exposure.....

[Lv2exlr8]

Here is a couple more of the effect i mean.

[Sl!m]

is the effect you're talking about.. this a picture I took a while ago.
