Any photographers in here?

[NVP5White]

I just recieved a RF remote flash trigger. I took advantage of the sub-freezing temps and got my brother to stand in with his 2006 Mazda3.

Both pictures are at ~1/500sec @ f/11. PP was minimal and included slight levels, unsharpen mask, and a little vingette. Single SB-600 with a warming gel fired at ~1/4 +/-1 stop based on distance to subject.

this pic is nice but it would have looked much better without the car imo

Nice Work! Did you read up on this shooting on strobist?

Of course I did! I love that site. I have not posted any pics, but only because I *just* got my remote flash trigger. Its an eBay trigger from Qiqiwo...yeah funny name for a company in mainland China. The package took ~10 days to get here and was listed as a $3 "gift" on the Chinese Customs label.

BTW, I have also taken to reading John Harrington's photo business blog (http://photobusinessforum.blogspot.com). As a Pro photog I'm sure you can benefit from John's experience.

Hey, it was supposed to be a car shoot...I did crop the image to remove most of the car. I feel like there is a benefit to having the subject nearly centered, which is why I left some of the car on the bottom-right.

This calls for another pic: Not new, but I still like it.

you guys all must have slow kitties... I can never get a shot that clear with my Fluffy

(note: I'm no photographer.. at all. Taken with a Canon S80).. 1/6 shutter, f/2.8, ISO50 (yikes.. indoor shot too, no tripod haha)

I'm bad at photos of living subjects, I take too long to set up shots, get focused, etc usually.

I used to shoot the S50 so I know its not too slow to take pictures of subjects like kids and pets. The key is volume. With the LCD its easy to compose and re-compose constantly, even as you try and stay positioned in front of a 2 years old.

My shot from above is part of a series of maybe 50 ot 70 shots. I got fours I converted from NEF and only two that are what I would call good. Thats a 35:1 ratio of crap shots to good shots. Of course that was the very same afternoon I recieved my Micro-Nikkor so a typical shoot may not adhere exactly to that metric.

I know that I meant move the car out of the pic before you took it still a good pic I just find the car is very distracting

This next one works with valentines day coming up!

Click on all images for larger image

50mm, f/3.2, 1/50 Av. No crop, but a little NJ and watermark Tiffen red filter, and LED flashlight.

All of your pics are very nice, but I love this one. I didn't notice the text on the page at first. Very clever!! If this was taken for a class, I hope you got an A+. (2thumbs)

 

[altspace]

I love it too. I wonder who originally came up with that shot?

Bump for pictures I didn't submit for the February Photo Contest:
