Thanks Nick :D I took your last info in, is it starting to show a little bit better in the shots?

Yeah that last one is nice indeed. I'm not sure about those perspectives with an UW but that's up to you!

Took a few this evening...first ever moon shot. Not bad for only using a 200mm lens. I'd love to get more detail out of it though.



And one of mums dog...very camera shy. Well, she's 15...lol

I dunno tbh - I ended up cleaning all of it. Did a nighttime shot later on of the lightpole - came out pretty nice.

I attended a model photography workshop on Saturday to learn about techniques, lighting, interaction and other things. Got quite a bit to go til I would be able to perfect the craft, but here's some pics for you all.

Totally. Provided you get good teachers and experienced models. If you get either one bad - bad teacher = you don't get all the best information from the session, bad models = you don't see what "good poses" and "bad poses" are, plus you don't learn how to direct them to get what you are looking for.

Plus - extra pics for a portfolio = more experience :bowrofl:

Took the 550D out for a spin "shooting for the moon". Seems that theres a huge difference with the 550D and 350D sensor/processor...seemed to get a shitload more detail out of just using a 200mm lens. Wish I could get my hands on something that'll really get some details.

Off course!! Esp learning about lighting techniques to acheive different results. But i suggest you do some outdoor shoots with off camera flash and learn a few things from that.


Anyways i like that first shot from the studio shoot.. Keep it up and look forward to seeing more :thumbsup:

lawl at the middle model shot, her face is totally dominated, she now looks like one of those bad guys out of the Fifth Element.

Shoulda got a reflector in there at least!! The top one is good but the bottom two have their faces (bottom one is eyes) in the shadows and it removes life from their eyes, makes them look like they're nasty or evil.

Did the teachers review your shots and guide on how to adjust to suit or did they just set up the gear and leave you to it?

Pretty much left us to our devices. Those shots where all about contrasting...the fact she had puffy bags underneath her eyes didn't help any. All a learning curve tho.

Little PP work, removing small freckles on arms/legs and smoothing out skin in a few areas. Fantastic model to work with, even though she was sick with the flu, she held up like a trooper!

CC Welcome :)

Alright, well i think the first one is very good. I like the contrast, apart from the floating left arm (on my right), a little fill would've helped that, low rim light for e.g. but still great shot bar that. The hard light suits for a good mood too, plus her skin looks nice and golden and you can't really tell about her face being a different colour.

No offence but the other two aren't really in the same league, they look like girlfriend shots, #2 is a bit terrible, bad pose, bad angle.. Looks a tad like it's going to get into porn or something.

#3 is the same, her face is a different colour in these two as well. There's no real model lights going on either, no hair light etc to make her look like she's there for a reason.

I think the last two fail from being ambient lit, if you had used the ambient for fill it'd have made them look a little more professional. Perhaps if she was laying on her side with those shiney sheets up close and you got a half-body shot and cut out the walls and shot with the light from the left to get a similar look to #1 but with the shine off the sheets that'd make it look rather pro and sensual but no dirty-sensual.

If you don't mind me asking where you took these? It looks like at someones home - Was this 'training' (aka you running around with the teachers drinking coffee) again or was this your own shoot?

Still you're doing better than me by actually getting the shots in.

Thanks Nick - I don't mind CC, regardless how it comes. All photos were taken at my place, and I agree, theres not really a huge amount of imagination on the bedroom shots. I did take some shots from above looking down, so I'll have to see how they came out. These shots were all done as "TFP" so, no money was forked out, which is good for me.

All in all, good learning experience, especially shooting with the new lighting gear and the 550D.

Yeah TFP-FTW haha. But man, at your house - that would've been so awkward. I love awkwardness, it's awesome to watch you guys do your thing whilst people cut the air with chainsaws.


If you do another let me know, I'd love to come along and try out this TFP thing. Plus I got some kit to bring.

What sort of lighting gear did you get?

Post #48

I scored the Elinchrom 500/500 BXRi kit from DCW. Plus, I got the 170cm octabox (which is a huge pain) and a Manfrotto 420B boom tripod.

Nah there wasn't any awkwardness.. :lol: 1st model brought a friend and I'm having quite a bit of problems PPing her images. 2nd one as above I went and picked her up - had a great conversation on the way to mine and everything worked well. 3rd one was the next day, she was inexperienced but shows alot of promise.
