Buy the converter if they’re cheap enough!

Thanks Ciaran.

I would agree it’s a bit too contrasty, particularly between her hair and face… must see what I can do with that :)

It’s GRIFT, a graffiti ‘artist’ in Dublin.

I agree with the top vignetting, I like the crop you mentioned…must play about with it… Thanks :)

Were they made of a kinda…polystyrene (sp?) material?

One side grey, the other black?

If so, they’re big ass reflectors.

Thanks for the comments lads, will take them on board.

They were all shot from the hip, so I’m happy enough composition wise. Aperture wise, they’re all between 1.4 to 2.8.

Now, one last one… This was taken on film.

And yes, I know every one of you will give out about the vignetting…

Well, by tighter crop, I meant something along the lines of a panoramic crop incorporating the space to the left (And the left only) to use the rule of thirds. The wall at the top is quite distracting.

He dosn’t have to be advertising the guitar. You might not like the idea of toying with the photos too much, but if it were managable, I’d layer those 2 photos on top of each other. Get some bizarre (and interesting) focusing on it…

Last one is nice, the others I wouldn’t be too sure of.

Second one is in need of a nice tight crop, the first is kinda dull. Maybe if the head of the guitar was in focus, and himself not in focus. Or prehaps layer the one of the head in focus and him in focus together to get an unusual effect?

Post processing wise, they’re VERY grey, maybe some more playing about with the levels would bring them out!

Tbh, the bottom drawer in my bedroom in Waterford.

I scan whenever I can, but I have hundred of shots…and laziness is a terrible thing.

It’s the type of shot that would suit a series. Very nice. I like it.

Why would Mark have a problem? There’s nothing wrong with nudity as long as it’s done in good taste? :)

Or did I miss something?

Hmmm, If I were you I woulda stuck with 1600 iso and no flash…But that’s just the way I do things.

For the image above… I would process it differently. An overall increase in curves to blacken out the background a bit more. There’s nothing wrong with framing someone in it though.

The Black wall to the left is kinda distracting compared to the blue stagelight.

Following this, reopen curves, and select green, and bring the contrast up a bit in that, to give her a better tone.

And a crop to the bottom too, above where there’s a line in the stage.

I’d be very careful, Rymus discovered a 5D scam off buy and sell a short while ago.

Be very careful with the Buy&Sell.

Coming from an arty background, I definitly notice this in some tech based people.
