The Axis Of Annihilation. Critism needed!

[honoryourlifeFXR]

Here are a few photos from a show that I was doing the photography for, please tell me what I can fix and how I should fix it. I'm new to all this and would like to enhance my skills as much as possible. I'm quite passionate about photography and would like to be the best as I possibly can be.

I fool around with the settings a bit, but I mostly point and click.

I used a Canon 60D with a 2.8 24-70mm lens.

Here are the photos, thank you for all positive or negative feedback!

















I have some more photos, but I'll post them in another post within the thread later on.

Thank you!

PS-What online uploader can I use that's free and will allow the photos to be shown at a better size that won't require clicking on them?

No face = no good, so recycle bin the first 4.

There is little facial mask modeling because the lighing is pretty flat.

Properly exposed skin highlights should be between 235 and 240 in the red channel.

The skin is all of yours is at about 170 in the red channel, indicating consistant under exposure of at least 1 full stop.

Try and get the flash off the camera, either hand held or on a flash bracket.

Take a look at some of the compositional guidelines for portraiture. It can make your photos more dynamic.

Yeah, the lighting in there really sucked. Just a few dim bulbs and that's about it.

Ok, so get an off camera flash would be my best bet then eh? I don't have much room to set it anywhere, so can I just set it on my camera?

How can you tell about the red? And where can I find out how to change it?

Sure, I'll take a look. Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it.

I picked up a 580EX II today, so I will be fooling around with it very soon.

I need to learn how to change the stops? So I'm going to take a look in my manual and figure some things out.
