Bahudda, going through the archives? :) Nice stuff!
Dave, like the b&ws of your parents; actually wouldn't have minded seeing the first two (from the last page of the previous thread) in b&w, too.
Here are some recent captures of Louise. I find it fascinating how you can capture so many types of expressions on such a young baby's face (4.5 months or thereabouts, here).

Glad to see the b&w on those, Dave! I'm actually torn now, don't know which I prefer. I think it's nice to have both.

It's a nice shot, James, deserving here, too! John, I really like your second to last post, but wonder if the b&w conversion might not benefit from slightly whiter whites? Composition in any case is really, really spot on! Lots of other lovely portraits on this page.

@m_appeal: thanks! ain't she though?! (but she'll probably hate me years from now for pictures like those! It's the kind we'll whip out when she's on her first date)
@bigjt: hmm... methinks we need a softbox setup specialist to answer that question... Anyone? I'd be curious to know as well.
And on your last shot, I like it because I feel it gives an alternative facial expression to Miss C. we're not used to seeing.
@bahudda, I LOVE the first one, what lens and f-stop did you use???
@jakeflow27: lovely set and welcome to Dyxum! I especially like the last one. Very gentle feel and tone. Can't wait to see more from you!

@bigjt: hmm... methinks we need a softbox setup specialist to answer that question... Anyone? I'd be curious to know as well.
And on your last shot, I like it because I feel it gives an alternative facial expression to Miss C. we're not used to seeing.
@bahudda, I LOVE the first one, what lens and f-stop did you use???
@jakeflow27: lovely set and welcome to Dyxum! I especially like the last one. Very gentle feel and tone. Can't wait to see more from you! |
Thank you for the warm welcome, I look forward to posting more from Korea ^^

brian33 - In the first image (D) I used a comination of lenses. The background was shot with a Sony 35mm f1.4 G and the model was shot (in doors - ha!) with a MinO 100mm f2.0.
I am at work so I can only tell what i remember and what is available to me on Flickr. The 35G was set to AE priority, f8.0, ISO 320 @ 1/250. The 100 f2 was most likely around f5, ISO 200 @ 1/80 (guessing here) and one HVL 58 flash on camera and the second in my left hand stretched out above the model/subject - also aperture priority. Both flashes were wearing Soften covers.
I have been spending the last month or so working more on improving my flash skills and on swapping out backgrounds as seamlessly as possible.
Sorry about taking so long to reply and I hope this didn't surprise you. ;-)

Awesome I knew something funky was going on but couldn't put my finger on it. I was thinking the bokeh was looking 35G-ish (at which point you'll tell me you blurred it in post...; if so: gaussian blur?), but it didn't seem like the sharpness of the whole subject was consistent with the bokeh of the background, so I thought maybe it was the cz24 but I wasn't sure you could get that kind of out of focus blur at that distance. Anyway I was confused and now it's all clear and at web size anyway, the transposition of the model is absolutely seemless. It's a brilliant shot!

Brandon and Olivia-Faye. My two youngest grand children. I don't do portraits per-se, but I suppose I would get a better finish with some cropping.
Taken with Sony A700, Sigma 17-70 DC Macro and HVL-F42 (with flip-down diffuser and/or sto-fen combo).
