A couple from me, the first one features S_Olivia in her new winter coat. The next one features Miss Lou Lou taken last summer.

Speaking for myself. I find the following very helpful: Location is very important. Watch out for the best possible background. Lighting. Be mindfull of the position, intensity of your main light, the sun. I find shooting on shaded areas or during overcast days best for portraits. Texture. Put texture on your images. Leaves, grass, cobblestones, rusty metals and the like help give extr...

Hubby obliging as a model!

Well, thanks to you all for taking the time to post messages. All of it will be useful, cheers. I shoot on 35 mm print film, with a Minolta 9000 plus Minolta lenses. My daughter usually does run a million miles when I get the camera out, but on this occasion, its for her benefit, and saves me paying 80 to get them done by someone else. (Long story) I will sort out a grey card for checking ...

if you are too close it will effect the exposure ie. white outs! Strangely enough if you meter with the reflector in place this can not happen as the camera also reads the light that is coming from the reflector. The whole idea is that the reflectoe effects the exposure, why else would you use it? Mike

I'm JSO and don't have lights so i work with natural light so i can really only go as high as F2.5 (crappy camera built in lense!) Its either that or get a shed load of noise if i bump the ISO up!

Like the third shot Paul

Thanks for all the tips and helpful comments. Much appriciated. Julie

I see you are a relativley new member. Hi So it could be that you are starting out on a voyage of photography. I would suggest buying the best fash you can afford, the reason for this is because as you get better you might well want to upgrade your camera and accessories, having the top of the range flash (or near top) now will eliviate the extra expense of upgrading that bit of kit at a late...

It's really a matter of your own style and taste. I've used 50mm f/1.8, 85mm f/1.8 [which I would prefer over a 50mm] and currently use a 60mm f/2.8 macro lens for portrait. Great results, very sharp and the clarity is excellent. Being a macro means i can get in as close as I like too. I have also used a Tamron 17-50mm for portraits on the 50mm end. Also a great lens. You don't have to use a p...

I agree with the above comments, be relaxed, keep the model comfortable and relaxed, shoot plenty of film and keep studio lighting simple. Appear confident, this will keep the attention of your model. Generally use a medium to slow film. Good Luck

What is a landscape? It is interesting to note what is actually classified as a landscape in the PP. In the Great British Landscape Competition the winners were an animal picture and a Lochscape and the runners up were all seascapes. No rolling hills and green fields! Obviously any picture that has the slightest hint of land in it is a landscape. My understanding of the English langua...

The 24-105 is a superb lens. I did some people photos with it in the last week and use it frequently on my 5D. Folk who say this lens is rubbish have been spending too much time reading the Fred Miranda/DPReview forums! The 24-70 f/2.8 may be better, but it's heavier, more expensive and has a narrower focal length range. The 70-200 is a fab lens, but point that at someone and they are mor...

have the Sigma 24-70 f2.8 as well and it is razor sharp - even wide open I think you must have a very good example of the lens but I do agree it is a very good lens stopped down a bit and has a useful focal lenghth. The price makes it very good value. Photographers use all lfocal lengths for portraits but generally the long end of the 24-70 would be good for head and shoulder style but...

I am a portrait photographer based on the beautiful island of Maui. I specialise in outdoor, beach photography that captures the magic of being in Hawaii. I work mainly with visitors to the island that want to take home a lasting reminder of their trip.

I a have two main areas of interest, Equestrian photography and Portraits. I especially like outdoor portrait photography but also use the studio when occasion requires. I use digital cameras, namely the Nikon D1x and the D100 and work on all my images in
