What happened @fredf !?!Check It Out

i have mailed it to you guys . got it ? @pmarione @fredf Check It Out

@fredf Don’t be sorry for your opinions. That’s what the Shark Tank is all about. I know that this photo is not a portfolio builder. That’s why I posted it. There were several good suggestions from several people here. I hope I can utilize some of them when there are only a few seconds to compose this type of shot in the future. However, I…[Read more]

this was what was available to me .. i tried to get the background dark but could not justify i guess.. and about exposure i don’t know i still would like to keep it low .. i am not liking high exposure over here..
@pmarione @fredf .. feel free to complety redo .. i would love to see your effort on this :’)
regards

Hey @fredf . I generally like the shot and have no problem with the content. But i dont like the cropping too much. It feels cramped up. Especially because her face is clearly turned to her left but you have the same amount of space between her head and the frame on both sides.
I would have maybe proposed to get the whole arrow in the picture…[Read more]

Back off people ! Much of it seem intimidating

@fredf, this is great picture and infact the arrow in her mouth is the thing in this picture which differentiates it for a normal Head & Shoulder portrait shot, it also leaves me guess about what was going on at the scene. Check It Out

i was just using the mobile flash light .. though i will keep in mind the other option to make this kind of photo to work .. thankyou so much for your time 😀 . @fredfCheck It Out

@dobara: sure I will frame the subject from those distracting lighting.

@fredf: I also thought of making the portrait temperature cool by adding blue and I will not repeat this mistake next time. I just now noticed that the hair is a way blended to the background and thanks for the rim light idea 🙂

@el-dub: Sure, I will concentrate and try…[Read more]

Thanks for your encouragement, @fredf! I took many images first time at this lovely park. This was the very last spot I stumbled upon as my daughter and I were exiting towards the car. It was that moment when you feel tired and fulfilled yet something catches your eye and you shout…”Wait…look at the light over there!!” I was glad for the “one m…[Read more]

Thank you for the compliment, @fredf. I scouted the location out a week before, and knew we had lots of great spots for variety. Once there with the family, it was all kind of spontaneous. e.g…Why don’t you all try to look at me from through the tree, or sit on the grass over here, climb the rock, sit on the bench, walk towards me holding hands, e…[Read more]

Congratulations, @fredf! Great light illuminating what is most likely an interesting story. Check It Out

Thanks @fredf and @karamen

@canon-me

I do all of the editing on the largest version of the file i can create. For me that means edit the RAW file for color balance, spots, and other simple things, convert to TIF, do all of the noise removal (Nik has a new Raw pres-harpener that may change this step), contrast enhancing, color, sharpening,…[Read more]

congrats, Fred, @fredf, very cool photo….Check It Out

@fredf, I see your point, but please understand that I’m not in love with vignettes either. My other responses should clarify my rationale for using it in white in this particular instance. However, since I don’t have much experience using them, I’ll go back to try again. Perhaps I can find an acceptable image in there w/o the vig. Thanks for your…[Read more]

another photo of the week?!?WOW!! Congratulations again!.. I have a feeling that congratulating you will be a regular thing here in Lightstalking! LOL! Keep it up @fredf!Inspire us more. 🙂Check It Out

@drus – that’s an interesting perspective you have. I agree with you and especially about the shutter speed-f stop choice I made. I think I was not thinking much about that and was focusing on the composition (I know that sounds lame) – I was carrying a new camera and wasn’t yet comfortable with its controls.

@fredf , @nikon-nut , @drus:

The…[Read more]

I agree with @fredf

I also think the horizon is slightly crooked.

But I really like this photo, even as is. I just think it has the potential to be much better.Check It Out

Thanks all for the feedback, much appreciated – it has helped me a lot 🙂

@nikon-nut The underexposed wall is due to it being a really sunny day which created harsh shadows, could be edited though. I think it’s just over editing by me I’m afraid – I wanted to create an effect similar to using an ND filter but it was a quick job and obviously…[Read more]

Thanks, @fredf!
