My recent still waiting to edit other ones.

almost looks fake due to too much skin smoothing (i think?)... also, a bit tight for my tastes but i'm no fashion/model photog.

I believe I followed you on 500px recently.

It's off a cell phone shot off of my computer the actual file skin texture is in tact and is not cropped :-)


ThePhotographer

It loaded one small one and large one


ThePhotographer

i'm not on 500px...? :ugh2:

There this may be better at detail :-)


ThePhotographer

hmmm... where's the rest? :rolleyes: :stirthepot:

My agent hasn't specified what she wants :-/


ThePhotographer

Good review.

Messing around with one light.

:icon18: Amusing shot.

Very cool shot LunaZ:tup:

Ring flash,lol

Actually a beauty dish just left of camera, a little higher than our heads. I was going for the Terry Richardson look.

Terry Richardson does not use a beauty dish btw. He uses a pop up flash above camera. He used a point and shoot for 70% of his work...


ThePhotographer

Camera axis* terry Richardson is by no means a legendary photographer... He's a good business man.


ThePhotographer

I knew mentioning his name would get that reaction LOL! Photography chat is fun!
Anyway, that shot was a fun experiment. Glad you guys liked it.

Nothing wrong with point and shoots. They are just very limited on the technical side. It's also a matter of artistic interpretation. Some of the best photographs I've seen aren't "technically" perfect.

Havn't really seen much of Richardsons work, but I do remember reading somewhere about how really creepy he was.

Ah, yes... the Charlotte Free accusations.
You probably see his stuff more than you realize. He shoots a lot of celebrities and a lot of his stuff ends up in or on the covers of mainstream magazines.

He was sexually assaulting his models

hello everyone, the newb here.... i want sharper picts than my kit lens does on my d3100...

is this a good buy? mostly for car and some scenic shots, some portraits, maybe some macro.
it's a nikon 40mm f2.8. appears to get great reviews.

It's a micro/macro lens, great for close up photography, but you'd be better off with a 35mm f/1.8 for the type of shots you take. For portrait, you want something above 50mm to avoid unflattering distortion. It's a great lens nevertheless and will probably pick one up to add to my lineup sooner or later.

thanks! :tup:

...and go!

I need to start planning ahead so I can actually compose the shot better, but here's the International Space Station from the back of my truck. It's fairly easy to see and get pictures of and happens 2-3 times a night.
