Focus was on the Diamond Earrings. Valho Suggested I do a snoot to make the Diamond Glitter/Shine.

1.5GB of pictures, after filtered out, ended up with ~28. (300MB) 30% Success Rate.
Is this considered normal?

i like pic #4

Wah.. So fast got 11 views already. (And that was _when_ I　ｗａｓ　ｓｔｉｌｌ　ｅｄｉｔｉｎｇ　ｔｈｅ　ｐｏｓｔ）

＃４　ｗａｓ　ａｃｔｕａｌｌｙ　ａ　ｃｒｏｐ．　Ｔｈｅ　ｏｒｉｇｉｎａｌ　ｐｉｃ，　Ｉ had taken from a wrong angle and composition was wrong. Had to crop out the ground. (she was lying on a white sheet)

hehehehe...thread for pic sure attract lots ppl dude....

i think i can feel the model feeling at pic#4

uhhh....gud job dude!!

the face part at #1 is over exposed.
#11 also.

other is just fine

1st few photos got use flash ar?
a bit oily, hehe

nice shots.

Bokeh is strong but the colors were too strong n warm. Compo is fine for most of the pics although can be better. Not a bad effort overall

I'm not familiar with model shooting but I found the busy BG distracting.

sharp and nice

I think so, use as fill in flash.

Which colours you talking about? I initially felt the colours were like "washed out" in my LCD monitor. So, I tweaked the saturation more and more (and more!)
How can be better? Don't lah just stop there and no more input. Potong Steam lah.

#5 and #12, the green to much, I agree. Let's see if I can tweak it down a bit.

Er.. busy BG? in which one is considered busy? There were lots of trees around, nothing much I could do about that. I've already avoided people who were in the park at that time.

I like the gal

Generally good pictures there..

But I found you have similar problems like mine... limited composition, which mean too tight la.

Since you have 135L, the natural solution is getting a 50L. Yeah... You do need the lense to have better composition... Just like I need the 35L

That was before i got the 135mm lah.. (I got it like a week after that shoot)

yeah, my composition does not include full body ones. It's not simple to take, IMHO, not everyone pro like ShinChan. (psst... did you hear? Myjunk downloaded all of his V3 work into his iPhone for inspiration!)

I'm not pro to the 50L lah. At most if get also get the 50 1.4 instead. The L not worth the money unlike the 135mm which is truly great!!

the 35mmL now ~3K in price only lah!! Go..Go..Go.. Get!!!

dude, why not try 85mm. its quite nice to take 3/4 body and full body if you have enough DOF. 85mm primes can easily throw the background out of focus and thus you wont have those distractign background since you are doin outdoor photography 85mm would be a splendid idea. i would use 30 or 50mm when indoors or in tight situations. if i have a very big and wide area, i take out my 300mm and do a full body portrait.

gila ka? not everyone has $$ like TheVOIP.

So, those trees, even with _that_ bokeh, still considered Distrations. LOL!! Wow..

canon 35mm F1.4 L cost 3K+ ?
which shop is selling it ?

i tot it cost 5K+ ?

Myjunk where u saw it 35mm L f1.4 3K only??

i like the oldschool style~~!!

#1 showing F2 power? No lah..

This one maybe lah..




BTW, which one is better ah? the Window Frame in the left seems like a distraction.

#7, yeah, background is indeed quite a lot. I was hoping more of like an "look far..far.. away" effect?


TQ..TQ.. My fav is still #1 lah.
