Didn't think it really fit in Crits Lounge, it's not AGS related or anything, but I have quite a few photos on my deviantart now that I'm quite proud of, I think I'm improving fairly steadily, and I was wondering what you all thought.
You'll need to be a member of deviantart to see the pictures as they contain nudity, but if anyone has any comments or thoughts or loves/hates it, I would like to hear it.
So yeah.
You can see my gallery here! Fancy that! (http://urquhart.deviantart.com)
Uuuu dirty pics, niiice. ;D Just kidding.
1. I like Jaz II, though composition might be a bit better, it's really good as it is, seems "natural" and relaxed and I think that's what makes it much better. Plus some others have issuse with shadows (like Jaz V, don't know if you meant that shadow to be there, but seems kind of strange)
- just to mention that I would make/do make some mistakes I noticed here, but I wouldn't say it's anything that bad, just something that gets to greatness with practice, so plase don't get offended
2. the "pin-up", I have more of a question about it: did you magnify it a lot or did you set it to high ISO? Or maybe you did something on the model (in Photoshop) like trying to make her a bit lighter...it's kind of noticable if that is the case...that's hard to do, don't know how to help that myself.
I think then a HDRlike style is necessary - photographing with seperate expositions (one for background, one for the model), or just go when the sun is not so strong. But of course it's hard to judge that if you don't have the camera connected to a laptop and se it on the spot.
3. Jaz III and IV look great too, though III has the stack of hay a bit burned up, you might wanna try and fix that.
And again, plese don't get offended, I'm by no means an expert. ;D
Thanks for the comments I'm glad you like them. Jaz II was actually a natural moment in between shots, and a lucky get.
It was a bit hard to check every photo, because it was a freaking hot Australian summer day, and we shot quickly to avoid sunburn or heatstroke, and just burned through a few memory cards to review later in the day.
They do have a few minor edits in saturation and brightness, but I'm still very much learning how to use those properly, so thanks for the tips :)
Cheers
Very good gallery, you're watched now ;)
I can' t see it... I think it' s only for deviantartists.
Not everything in the gallery. You need to be registered so they know you're 18 yo or older so you can view mature art/photos
Okay, so, unless someone post the pics here I won't see them ^_^-
But you can still browse the gallery and see older pics which arent mature :)
Or use something like bugmenot, which is what I did.
