I shot these two against a black seamless paper background using an on camera flash bounced off the ceiling. There was a huge window with natural light about 6 ft. to his right. Due to limited space in my living room he was approx. 1 ft. from the background and I was shooting about 3 or 4 feet away from him, if that. I haven't done any PP yet just wanted to get some CC.
This was my first time shooting in full manual and I think I used SS 1/160, Aperture of F9, and I didn't realize it but ISO was set to 1600.
Here are my personal critiques:
On #1 I know the paper is wrinkled in a few places especially at his left foot. And I like the overall greyish color (even though I was trying to get black) except for the light color across the middle where the paper roll went from vertical to horizontal. Any suggestions on how to remedy that when shooting?
And on # 2, again the light color across the middle. Plus some dog hair on the paper to his right. And, I was going for a black BG again. Also the fact that his shirt says Little Slugger while he is holding a basketball irks me. I really love his expression in this one though. Although I am biased since he is my son and my favorite subject to shoot/practice with. He's really gonna hate me one day for all the pics I take of him.
