Geez the lady looks like a real sweatheart, might be a good amateur person to start an amateur site with

fang · 07-23-2003, 12:03 PM

The model should be naked

pornguy · 07-23-2003, 12:04 PM

Nice job.. Looks good..

Nudity looks better though

Jeffery · 07-23-2003, 12:04 PM

I agree. I'll try and talk her into shooting some nudes

Thats my girlfriend Keli, some of you may remember seeing her in Vegas. She has a collection of business cards from content providers haha.

Heres a closeup, I really hate this one, the colors are terrible. Like I said Im learning!

Fabuleux · 07-23-2003, 12:12 PM

It's a little over exposed, if you can't adjust it on the flash unit, I always put some very thin paper in front og the flash light. I use rolling papers for cigarettes, works great.

cezam · 07-23-2003, 12:16 PM

damn she is georgeous.. i envy you

looks good, I always liked taking pictures with lots of white, especially snow, or lots of different colors, the babe looks like a very nice person, probably causes she has clothes on.

Good picture you just cut her hand off in it.

Paul Markham · 07-23-2003, 12:22 PM

You got a bit further to go. but not to bad so far.

Shooting into snow is a nightmare job and you did it all right.

The other picture lacks the contact I would expect if you were shooting a girlfriend.

Try to put your relationship into a photo. Not easy but doable.

The looks of the chick make medicore photos look great

Dax · 07-23-2003, 02:09 PM

Not bad...

Watch your backgrounds

put attitude to the pics

try diff crops

have the model interact with u

try funky angles -u have nothing to lose-

visit photography forums online

PRACTICE!

Betray · 07-23-2003, 02:14 PM

I like this pic

PbG · 07-23-2003, 06:55 PM

If you enjoy taking pics continue taking pics.

Carrie · 07-23-2003, 07:16 PM

You have a fantastic camera, but your eye needs work.
Find a huge group of flowers - take a picture of *one*. Make it the best picture you can possibly think of... the angle, the focus (like making the other blurry and it stands out?), the way the light is playing on it... pick ONE and take a picture of it.

Now, find another huge group of flowers that are a different color. Again, pick ONE... but change something in the way you approach taking the pic.

Do this with as many different groups of flowers that you can, then take the pics home and compare them.
Using the different colors you can easily identify what it was you were doing in that picture that makes it different from the other pictures. (This is why you don't just keep shooting the same flower different ways.)

Identify what methods worked best to make the best pictures.

Keep doing this with different subjects... practice, practice, practice until you can look at a subject and see it from all of those different methods, and hopefully know which one of those will look best.

PRACTICE.
If you can't do it with flowers and can only do it with your girlfriend, then have her sit in the same exact spot with the same exact lighting conditions, etc - but in each shot she changes shirts. Again, you need something to help you identify one method you were using versus another method you were using.

skrog · 07-23-2003, 07:19 PM

Your pics look decent!

mastamindz · 07-23-2003, 07:19 PM

Heres another picture I dug up.

Carrie · 07-23-2003, 07:39 PM

Aside from the windows' glare, that's a great pic - it's more personal, we feel like we know her a little bit through it.
(Windows are usually bad *in* a pic unless you are working with them purposely.)
Your lighting on the subject is better in this one too, she's lit up without being washed out.

Honestly, I wish my hubby's eye for pics was as good as yours already is... he's got a TON of work to do just to take decent pics.

And I wish I could take pics in the daytime.

The only time we can shoot here is when the kids are in bed... meaning nasty indoor lighting (I don't have Dean's plethora of umbrella lights, lol.)

sweetcuties · 07-23-2003, 07:43 PM

I'm kinda late to this thread... but I know the look you're going for. I like the pic... the girl's cute and imperfections is what makes amateur photography. Trust me... this works because it's real! I've been doing it that way for almost 4yrs... good job
