[Splutter]

Good control of lighting too :thumbsup:

Thanks bro, nice shooting with u again.

Haha.... tot ambient lighting plus f1.2 can do it.... hehe....

Great pics!

All bros.. thanks for the compliment.

Paiseh, me shamelessly exploit the bokeh & light sucking capability of the 85L this time round.. :embrass:

But I think the ability of the 85L to create such lighting patterns is nothing new lah, hv seen better efforts posted in the web b4.

love the peggy's shot, the bokeh is awesome:thumbsup:

awesome.....u are the undisputed king of bokeh....

bro, think u made urself a name! :thumbsup: works of peggy!

85mm Bokeh! Nice! :bsmilie:

 

[Kongo]

Embarassed to hear such compliments, actually my flash control skill still quite cmi.. :embrass:

Among those posted here, think only 2 or 3 the exposure is ok, the rest quite a bit under & need quite a bit of level adjustments in pp to rescue.. the full res pics may not look good..

you handled the lighting and controlled your flash very well. the bg bokeh lights were very nice and the subjects were brought out very nicely.

particularly like 1st shot of peggy!! :thumbsup:

dun need an inverted dome...

Use tissue paper to soften the light...

But your agar agar not bad also....

Good control of lighting too :thumbsup:

 

[Kongo]

Thanks!

wow.. nice nice... =p

Thanks engta

Other than the rain, I think everyone had a good time. Got doggy to play with somemore :bsmilie:

Try joining one next time lor..

Nice images, thanks for sharing

Never join such a photoshoot before.. how is it? Fun??

 

[Kongo]

Thanks mike! I do add a little bit of saturation in pp..

Very solid colors.... well done...:thumbsup:

Thanks!

The lightings patterns are trademarks of large aperture tele lens such as 85f1.2, 85f1.4 & 135f2 etc..

I am using the 85f1.2 prime btw.

very nice i like the background effect what lens do u use? do u mind to share

Thanks for your compliments!

very nice use of bg

 

[Kongo]

Thanks Ivan

Paiseh, still processing Stephanie pics. I am less than half way thru even though I started processing them b4 the Sentosa shots. Think I took too many pics. Bo bian, your girl & your assistance during the shot too good..

Will post the pics when completed, sorry to keep u waiting...

Nice shots, one of the best pics of them so far, well done Woon Kong

Thanks Jia Wang. Always like your work with modelinn's shot.

Hope to be able to shoot with u in future!

I find it odd that u need our forgiveness for opening your lens aperture wide... Cos' I could find nothing wrong with that from the shots that u posted here... What I see is a photographer in control of his gears to get the best out of the situation... Control of flash is great, imho... Lovely work, I must say :thumbsup:

As for the day shots, I am quite dissapointed with my effort..

Think I will still be uploading somemore pics when I hv the time to process them..

To the gals, just realised that it might be difficult to copy the pics in pbase, so uploaded them into photobucket as well:

Bro, agreeding on processing the photos....the pics looks yellowish. Maybe, is the sun setting? .....

Yes, also noticed the awkard colours after posting.

Will try to do something abt it later..

BTW, this is the problem I mentioned to you on sunday, can't manage to get the WB right on the spot even using custom WB with Grey card, dont know why.. tot I hv corrected it during processing, but must agree tt they still looked way off.

Note: Colors r off due to me forget to update my color mgmt settings..
Pics adjusted, but probably still a bit off..

Let me guess:think: ...your WB was customized with Grey card during the time of the day (Sun set), such that the grey card was reflecting yellowish colour. Suggestion, try to use AWB or sunny setting. This will probably cure the yellowish. Trust your system for WB judgement, they can do the trick.

For post processing, maybe apply a bit of blue in the levels, hope that this will eliminate the effect.

Send my regards to your brother. Cheers!

PS: Other suggestions are welcome.
