jeff.grant 0 Posted August 11, 2008 Doug, you are a brave man taking portraits from this angle. I find the eyes too dark. I'd love to know how you metered this series. Her hair must be very close to blown. Link to comment
dougityb 0 Posted August 12, 2008 Jeff, what's the challenge with this angle? It felt appropriate at the time, but I confess to not having so much experience with this subject matter. I don't know how it was metered as it was the first use of the camera. The meta data says "pattern", but I'm not sure what that means. The eyes look dark to me, too, on my computer right now, but on the computer I used to scrint it, they were ok. Link to comment
dougityb 0 Posted August 12, 2008 About her hair, I didn't think I needed to hold it to any standard of accuracy, so, as long as it separated from the sky, I was happy. Link to comment
jeff.grant 0 Posted August 12, 2008 The comment about the angle was an old person's attempt at humour. It is an angle that can only work on someone of her age otherwise too many signs of age appear. It can also become an up the nose shot which you have avoided very well. I agree on the hair, the separation is most important and is OK here. Link to comment
dougityb 0 Posted August 12, 2008 ahh, I see. Yes, after fifty years of looking in a mirror every morning, I know this is not the best angle for me, either. :-) Link to comment
MichaelChang 12 Posted August 12, 2008 This one actually looks quite pleasant to me. It'd be a tossup between this and Golden Goddess. My monitor is an uncalibrated LCD so I can't comment on brightness accuracy, but it looks fine. This must be a difficult one to print. Link to comment
