How I spent my birthday...

Hackbone · March 11, 2015

Haven't been around to post much lately. My eldest purchased a new/used home and I get to be the renovator so I haven't taken a shot in the past 8 weeks. I got to spend my birthday with a group of drop dead gorgeous ladies. Over two evenings we shot for 10 hours and due to an overzealous gal we did over 1,700 shots but I culled them down to about 450.

All white bkg were taken with a PLM and two lights on the bkg and the dark bkg was taken with the small soft box you see in one of the photos and a kicker.

Looks like you spent some time and effort for this shoot and had a lot of fun.

Most images seem to be well composed and sharp. How ever #1,2,3,5,8,9 to varying degrees seem underexposed and a little flat. Maybe some co;or skin tone issues as well.

#7 is a nice bright image with good background and exposure. One on the best. (Just straiten out the wrinkles on the floor

)

#10 I love it!! good thought, good composure, great expression.

#11 I don't think it gets there, but good effort!

Sorry if this comes off as too picky.

No problem Sam, picky is a good thing. On my computer 5 is iffy but the rest seem to me to be ok but maybe personal thinking. Skin color was off the chart as I've never seem such pale skin, must be the winter weather in Pittsburgh. Thanks for chiming in. Always a help.

Geez Sam, the guy shot for ten hours. We ain't spring chickens anymore.:D

Looks like a fun session/time. Little dancers can be fun but challenging huh?

I too am seeing some areas on the white background that aren't "white". 3 and 5 stick out in that regard. I am however on a laptop in southern Japan, so take it with a grain of salt.
