I would say not bad for a 1st attempt from u. But try variety of themes or posing coz these pics look like an outing with ur fren in a park during an boring afternoon/morning. Ur models needs to be cheerful n happy while posing, and most importantly, make her enjoy herself.

Pic quality wise, no complains but compliments!

Lol thats true Shall try more full body shots next time

1) Ehh not bright meh? My monitor very bright?

2) I was actually shooting up, I am not that tall to shoot downwards

3) I had shots where the hands were not chopped off Shall share that next, but 70-200 means I had to stand very far to make that happen. And the angle was there because the other side means dustbins would have been in the shot

4) thanks

5) True, the crop could have been too tight

Ehhh... dont think I've played with contrast. I didn't do any PP except for cropping and watermark.

Lol the D40 is the cheapest and you can find 2nd hand units with kit lens below RM1500 I believe.

Thanks, yep agreed that we needed to communicate more to the model on the poses.. I think she was quite relaxed and I hope she enjoyed herself Other than getting caught in the rain.

Then the constrast by default is too high.

Try enabling the D-lighting to have shadow detail

zio

#2 : weird lighting
#3 : dont like way her hands being chopped

#3's smile is the most natural..

from what i can see this model has...somewhat big nostrils...so maybe try not to shoot from a low angle

#2: was experimenting Will experiment more to get it right!
#3: True, could have included her hands, but when i decided to use the picture, somehow I didn't think her hands were fully needed

I think she was playing around at that time and we told her it was a good pose

Really? Maybe shooting low angle exaggerated that
