Just a short post containing a few practice shots of Mrs. Edge in Slovakia. I’m starting to really get a hang of which kind of shooting conditions work best for composition and skin tones and also how to get the best out of the camera for a given condition. The biggest revelation recently, is that the camera preview shows a jpeg image and not the raw…doh! That means any clipping shown on the preview, even in the histogram, is all based on that jpeg – which of course has a massively reduced dynamic range! I’m starting to use those graphs a lot more too and also using my noggin to compensate for that crappy JPEG preview. I’ve massive respect for you pro’s doing this almost intuitively. It’s quite a challenge to balance light, composition *and* camera settings, while at the same time not having your subject wait around while you scratch your head and talk yourself through the reasoning behind the settings (of course that never happened – red face). Anyway, that’s why I love love love photography.
As always, I hope you like. Much love.
Love how much you photograph Nicki! Not only is she gorgeous, but also very patient! I think if I tried this with Michael we’d be divorced by now. hahaha Good job we have kids I can use instead. Overall I really really love your use of light…and lines, all the lines, so many lines… I love lines!
Hehehe!
Yea. She’s either incredibly patient or I’m incredibly persuasive.
Practice practice practice. I’ve learnt so much since then. I was trying exactly that though, lines lines lines. I also tried playing with harsh sunlight. Mostly worked, but need to spends some more time at it.
p.s. this damn font colour needs to go.
