I'm not much for selective coloring, but I couldn't resist

Didn't really selective color, just turned down the saturation after the negs were scanned and this is what I got.

This one might be a bit yellow (I'm teaching myself how to print color)

This one is my favorite of the lot. This is what I am doing for a school project, but in B&W.

Is it me or are the edges in #1-4 very rough? (around the arms and legs)
My favorite is #5, it's more personal than the others. (IMO).

Pascal, your browser is probably trying to reduce the images since they are most likely a tad larger than your screen. Put your cursor over the image. If you're running IE or Firefox, you'll see a magnifying glass. If you do, click on the image and it should zoom to normal size, and the rough edges will go away.

Puscas · Nov 19, 2006

Ah yes, stupid me. Sorry about that. That's much better

. (and I like the pictures better now too :thumbup:. #5 is still my fav). One more little thing: the light in the first two pictures seems to be a bit harsh on the right. (the peddles next to the candle are great, the ones on the right look too white). Good work!

It has been my experience that exposure has a lot to do with color printing. I never did much of it myself but one of the places I shot for had a color lab and their technition would explain to me that the filter pack was different for exposures.

The accidental selective coloring works here. I also like #5. Good work.

ZakAttack · Nov 20, 2006

there great shots!!! where did you find that girl?? :lovey:

(I think sh would be just as beutiful fully clothed, dont think Im some kind of perv)

Efergoh · Nov 20, 2006

She is one of my photography classmates.
She was very professional, and made it easy for me to work with her (she has done a bit of modeling in the past.

ZakAttack · Nov 20, 2006

classic nudes are somthing I would like to try, but my girlfriend is not into it (she thinks its trashy) and she refuses to let me photograph someone else (even if she is there as well) your a lucky and very talented man!!

Number 4 is AMAZING, reeaaallll good effort!

Efergoh · Nov 20, 2006

Thank you. That is a first for me.
I've never had someone say one of my photos is amazing,
that means a lot to me.

siphoto · Nov 20, 2006

Lighting/ gesture/ composition, it all blends in very nice
You're welcome

For some reason I can't see these, and some are coming up FORBIDDEN, which is hilarious due to the nature.

Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: Got them. I like them, I really liked #4 the most. I think the color in #5 and 6 was distracting. Don't get me wrong, I like how it was lit, just the saturation of the colors were a bit high.

Blows me away. Here are some similar shots from a recent shot of mine:

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you do great, awesome, amazing work.

Any girl who agrees to sitting for you should consider herself lucky. I hope you have an understanding girlfriend.
