imamom · #1 (**permalink**) 04-19-2008, 10:19 AM

This is my brother and SIL, they asked for just a nice picture of them...so we went out around town last night...it was around 6:15-7 pm (the sun was a warm orange...very nice!)

Most pic's are taken around
ISO 100
Ap 5.6
the SS really varied since we were outside, I just adjusted it to proper exposure

Please critique Exposure, Editing, "limbs" (I found I was at a loss for where they should put there hands and stuff)

Don't feel obilgated to say something about each photo, just pick some and GIVE IT TO ME...I wanna improve...

They will love these. I need to do something like that with my DH and I. I really like the composition of #4. #1 looks a tad dark to me.

#4 and #6 are really great!

I think in #1, the guy needs to be turned a bit more to see his profile a bit better and in # 2, I think the positioning of their arms is off...but I don't have any suggestions either, lmao. Great job though, I'm sure they will love their pictures!!

Love the poses! These came out super!

#1 maybe try and see if you can clone out the branches by her feet
#7 watch the small branches coming out of his head

#4 is my favorite. I love candid shots and that's what that one looks like to me. You picked a lot of great poses. I love the bench set up and #6. For some of these I would open up my aperture. But I like that blur/artsy BG and shoot wide open any chance I can.

I really love 6 but also 3 and 4.

Not much cc from me as I'm still learning.

You did a wonderful job with these. I like the posing. Looks like your exposure was good. You may be able to brighten up some just a tad but that's totally personal taste. My fav is 4, love the background on this with the texture of the doors. Maybe this one would look neat with an antique texture on it?

I think they are going to be very pleased!

I did comment on this thread yesterday and must have not hit reply or something?
My favorite of all of these is 4. I really like how they look natural here. It's well-exposed & composed nicely. I might try this one in a dramatic b&w.
I think #1 needs a bump in curves. In 2 the sky is blown. I think this one would have more impact with some color in the sky. A nice sunset or sunflare. 3 they look casual here but more like a snapshot. Color looks off. In 5 I really like the way they're holding hands in this one. A bump in curves here too.
6 is interesting. I like the way you have them standing and the bricks add interest.
In 7 she looks stiff. You have areas of overexposure here on her arm and neck/shirt. Could have used some fill flash here. It looks like a stick is growing out of his head here like he has a horn.
HTH
