Yo TPF'ers
It's been awhile. I'd like to get some critique on PP and composition for a few pictures,I've asked specific questions for each shot and would really appreciate any comments or opinions you have.
I'd also like to get any feedback you'd like to give on my first portfolio Foxx Photography - This Is Me
Thanks! :mrgreen:
#1 - Taken at the local state forest. I've been experimenting with golden hour and "light leak" looks. Also with some gradient coloring. How is the composition and color combination?
#2 - An old cat I've taken pictures of before, she's a wild one I absolutely the 50mm prime but I have a hard time pulling back on the wide aperture. Does this shot need a larger DoF(on the head) or is this ok?As a more general question, when shooting a subject with a wide aperture is it better practice to get the whole subject in focus or try to focus on narrow details?
#3 - At an old burned down house. How do you decide how much ambient environment to include when taking portrait? As in, how narrow do you usually crop to keep attention on the subject while also including the environment to add character?
#4 - On GA HWY 212. Does keeping the sky blown detract from the shot?(I didn't have my tripod on me to take multiple exposures)
#5 - A friend shaved his no-shave november beard and we decided to have some fun! I was improvising with lighting(used a metal sheet to his left to get a bit of fill light, used the wall as a diffuser with off-camera flash). How could I have improved the lighting?
