Yo Bro,

Thanks for dropping by.

We have a dose of luck that morning as the sky stop dripping and gave us some good natural lights just when we start shooting.

Hehee.. hope June isn't too annoyed that I still press the shutter instead of immediately going over to help.. :embrass:

yo kongo, i think u've done a pretty good job, but so many pics i also dunno how to comment.

generally, i don't like the colours, it's just a personal preference thing i guess, so not a problem.

sorree for not being specific, but you could take note of your compositions. some of the shots could be tighter, and cropped at a better position, most apparently for trillia's first shot.

last but not least, challenge urself to come up with great portraits without needing a sharp model with perfect bokeh-ed background.

Hi jOhO,

Thanks for giving tips, will take note of these points! :thumbsup:

My pics are those play safe and low difficulty types, becos still not confident whether I've get the basic right.
Will continue to observe how others compose a more complicated pic.

BTW, what's the problem you see with the colours? What should I take note of?

 

[jOhO]

did a rough one if you don't mind:

i did a "global edit" on the image, meaning i changed the whole image (not selected areas) mainly with color balance and a little with HSB and curves.

generally there's too much yellow and green in the original that u posted, i upped the contrast too.

Thanks a lot for the illustration jOhO. I can see the diff clearly.

I agree with you it could be a matter of personal preference, I usually prefer a lighter tone and milder contrast.

It could be due to my lcd screen, colours will appear burnout pretty fast if I add a lot of contrast. Noticed that high contrast image usually looked better on a crt than a lcd, as I am editing my pics on a lcd screen (contrast range only abt 500:1) I tend to be a bit cautious when doing processing.

I like the pict on the right, the low camera angle and the effective use of DOF. I find that this make the picture more active and full of life.

Same as above.
