Okay. This is my first attempt at portraits. Now before you flog me to death, just remember this is a bloke with no lights or reflectors. The shots might also have gone a little grainy because I shrunk them and dropped the quality for posting.

*Tries to think of some other excuses but fails - d'oh!

Wow these are great, fantastic white background, and she has lovely eyes!

 

[2Stupid2Duck]

LOL - thanks Arty. I told you mate, I have already forgiven you .... lmao.

And I prolly won't tell anyone else what you said - for the right amount of money... mwhahahaha...

Good job getting such an even light, how did you do that?. Did you try other angles where she is not so centered? All in all very good for a first attempt.

 

[2Stupid2Duck]

I waited until 4:30 in the afternoon when the light was coming into the house. We have "light" curtains, if you know what I mean. I find that I can't help but centre portraits... especially kinda formal ones where they are directly in front of me.

Took loads of shots.. some side on with her seated with a couple of different swords (believe it or not.. lol).

Those are really nice!

 

[2Stupid2Duck]

Thanks Elsaspet. Maybe I should have chosen a different first one or summat - like Cruizin said - something less centred.

 

[john3eblover]

wow.

 

[mentos_007]

I have to congratulate you that there is no shadow on the background

 

[JonMikal]

great results with minimum equip. :thumbsup:

 

[farva]

i think the first one is the best. Wish i could see all her hands tho

 

[2Stupid2Duck]

Thanx folks. I was pretty pleased with them, given I have no real equipment. I was really happy with her eyes. They seem so darn clear.

Oh, it's my lovely wife by the way. She is an excellent model - the only time I've ever seen her compliant in my whole life - lol.
