This is part of my regular makeup model shoot - Spring 2010 edition. Thanks for your

feedback.

Beautiful studio work, lovely model, lighting and colors.

 

Best regards.

 

Alberto

Hey Alberto, thank you!

Excellent shot Dale, really got you lighting well balanced. Background light is spot on and not blown out. nice lighting from the side and still enough shadows to keep it interesting. Great detail without having to much detail where its not needed. Very good work.

Dale,very good pose and shot...congrats

Carl and Mehmet, thank you guys :)

 

Carl, yeah light was good this time around - thanks goes to my light man, Alex C.

I agree with Carl. It's a great shot with wonderful dof, color and clarity. Lovely skin tones. David

Great capture and good light managing...Really good shot,dear friend!

 

Regards(Bobby).

David and Bobby - thanks a lot guys.

 

@David, with the studio-type lighting I had the luxury of using a smaller aperture giving me the increased DOF. Fabulous makeup job done by a student at a local college who's work we were shooting.

 

@Bobby, yes the light was great, set up by my friend mentioned above.

Nice image with 50mm. Were you about 6-8 feet away? Why did you use 200 ISO? To keep the shutter speed up at 1/200?

Hi David, thanks a lot for the feedback, I was using my Tokina 16-50mm mostly at the long end for this shoot and we were likely closer to 6 feet away from the model. We had one Canon 430 flash with an umbrella as the main light, the Canon 580 on our cameras to trigger the slaves and also to provide a little bit of fill and finally another 430 right behind the model to light up the back. The exposure settings were just duplicated as close on my Rebel T1i to my friend's 7D settings - do you have any recommendations for the settings? Do you feel 200 ISO is unnecessarily high in this situation? Thanks again.

nice pose, details and expression on her. Well done..!

Hey Ricardo, thanks for all the feedback :)

Superb image Dale, with very sharp focus, very good lighting, composition and colour. The white background complements the model nicely. Congrats Dale, keep up the good work.

Hey thanks Tony - I appreciate that (and my friend will be happy to know you liked the lighting).

My bias is to keep the ISO as low as possible for portraits, and would increase it only if I need to adjust the shutter speed or aperture, although flash photography is my weak suit. David

Thanks David, flash photography isn't my strong suit either.
