The Photography Thread !

@Deathdart: Nice even lighting and great happy mood in all the shots BUT I have some constructive criticism for you:

- The skin tones on the faces of all the subjects are a bit overexposed or "burnt". There are not details left and they're a bit too "white" when compared to the tonality of the rest of the image.
- You could probably try "rim lighting" on the subjects with a smaller light source behind the subject to the left or the right. This could add definition to the outline of each portrait. Makes the picture more complete. :)

These are jus my opinions, I am yet to dive properly into studio photography myself! :D

Cheers!

@D. Payne - Now that I look at it closely, I do agree with you about the skin tones. I guess I overdid it a bit while converting it to b/w. I have added an edge light on the left of the frame, but it's not very obvious in many of these pics (it's clearly visible in the 4th pic). I didn't have a honeycomb mesh at the time which is supposed to be the best thing to use for such lighting according to my professor. I ended up using two snoots instead... Wasn't very happy with the results in the end.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I'll keep this stuff in mind for my next shoot! :)

@Bomb - Thanks! I don't have my own studio, but my college has a well equipped one which I'm free to use at any time. :)
 
Taken from a running bus, thus the details arent that sharp

@Deathdart: Yes, I see it in the 4th shot but the shot itself is blurred due to an in appropriate shutter speed so I did not pay much attention. :D

Btw, I see you're in Pune! We should meet up sometime man!

Cheers!

@-D. Payne- I don't think it's possible (for me) to blur it at 1/250 on a 50mm lens. :p It's quite sharp. :)

It's blurry because of the action (hair tossing). 1/250 is not fast enough to freeze it. That's what Payne meant.

And thanks Bomb! :cool2: :)
