haha. thanks. can't do anything about the wire though. its fixed. =/

yeapz tamron!

shot at f2.8 and iso 100 and 1/320 speed plus direct flash.

aiyo u were there a? i was the guy in red. using matin black strap ma

all like never see sony DSLR before.

do ur exam revision before shooting!

day shot? try to use flash if possible...or reflector would be better...

my today's photoshoot those photogs tot they could do wonders with just a 50mm lens alone when they are shooting a subject against a very bright background light. end up most who did not use flash had underexposed pictures.

too bad they can't do this!



flash bounced pointing towards the floor.

90 degrees down, 70 degrees forward IINM.

purposely wan create the shadow one ma..

got a bit mysterious/dramatic feel..

YES.

one thing i found out about my tamron is that it backfocus a loooottt!

quite frustrating at times. even using center AF. especially when u wanna take a quick shot. it always tends to back focus or mis focus.

oh well, 1320 lens, can't expect it to perform like a Carl Zeiss.

but for the above pic i think is my problem la. i focused the hand instead.

not really.

if u din use flash, u need to use a lower shutter to get a brightly lit subject.

but if u shooting at f2.8 and below, your subject confirm overexposed. so flash comes in handy in this situations. can fire high speed shutter, maintain wide open shutter and get good exposures. removes ugly shadows as well.

nola. pressed center AF.

nothing la...

i used cobra bounced flash from below. but the head is pointing at 70 degrees towards the model. hence creating the shadows which is 'higher' that the model.

don't think other flash guns can get the same effect with such simplicity though.

hope i am not wrong.

nice lighting!

i admire ur patience to put all these effects into the picture.

all my pics straight from camera, resize, maybe adjust curves n levels,put watermark then publish.

i never shoot RAW.

i would cut down on the vignetting though.

moar picsss!

but less edit la can? hope to see more of her bright face.

errrr.....why do u need to burst shot for portraiture? u have all the time in the world to get the best shot ma.

you really love vignetting huh?

but ur model sporting la.at least she dun mind sitting down on the road/pavement

but how are u going to find the angle if u do not know how is your model going to pose?

is this girl doing photo shooting for the first time? if yes then i can understand.....

sometime swhat u imagine and visualise may not be what u get..

this is especially so if the model is new.

even for experienced ones, i ask them pose like that, they will pose another way. then need correct a few times only get it right.

but will the 'feel' be the same when she pose the 2nd time?

oh well. different photographers different style.

you din take any vertical shots?

photography really is art ma, and you are the director/painter.
