A few photos from a quick shoot this weekend.

FinalResort - Are you going for the highly over-processed dark look? There is a lot of lost detail in pictures. Composition is great, but the under exposure kills them for me.

Altspace - Lovely angles and great background, but it kills ya too. I can see that you meant to get the house in few of the photo's, but then in others it makes the background really busy and distracts from the car.

Like this one....

What is the focus? What are you trying to show off or point attention to?
It looks like you couldn't decide to get the house or the car so you got them both.
The car is facing away and the window of the house is so prominent in the photo, that there is a nice stalemate for attention there.
Your framing is good in the majority of the pictures, just be careful how you chop the car up with you focus on certain pieces like you did in a few.

Cousin's graduation at Penn State[/QUOTE]

I was gonna say... that looked a hell of a lot like Beaver Stadium... (yippy)

 

[altspace]

Haha...thanks. Like I said, it was a quick photo shoot. As in jump out the car and take some pics of it with the new graphics. Did not really care about backgrounds and such, not that I have many choices around here anyway.

I dig the first shot, not really feeling the magenta tone on the other two but still photographically sound.

Still trying my hand at cross processing techniques. Wanted to give that vintage feel as the dresses were from another time period (her mom's).

I absolutely love the vintage look. (thumb)

Where's a good place (website) to rent camera equipment? I was thinking about renting a 5D and/or a good lens or two to bring with me to France, but want a reputable place to get it through...

I've bought from these guys before... don't know how they are to rent from.

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

Cool... if I rent a body I'd probably get a 5D, but I am looking at renting the 10-22mm Canon lens, and maybe the 24-105L. Either that or the 28-200L.

I found these guys: http://www.borrowlenses.com/ and the rates aren't TOO unreasonable...

I've also heard good things about this place, but never used them.

 

[sleeper3]

If I were you, I'd get the 10-22, the 17-55, and the 100-400. Forget the body. Just get the lenses.

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

Yeah, I've been re-thinking the body too. My camera does pretty well, but I fail on the glass department.

 

[FunkyBuddha]

I wouldn't even bother w/ renting a body man.. get a gorilla pod and a 24-70 with a teleconverter. done.

 

[sleeper3]

Trust me, at f/2.8, your body is more than adequate. I've seen the pics you take... you'll do fine with just glass.

Word of warning: don't rent anything you're not ready to buy... This will make you want new lenses in the worst way possible.
