What camera do you use?
So, I searched through this forum to see if there was an older thread on this topic directly. I didn't see one, so... This thread is for posting your own photography. No matter the genre or style...
I haven't been a photographer for long, and have only been photographing people since January of this year, but I'm very pleased with my progress and, surprise, surprise, want to show it off. Plus, I love commenting on others' images as well... Post your own images to this thread for comments and critique. I welcome both...

Digital SLR, Canon Rebel Xti
Honestfool84....
I'm thinking of getting the Rebel Xsi. Good cameras, the Canon.
I've had no complaints, other than I wish I'd have spent a bit more for the next model up for built-in sync jacks, rather than the adapter that I have to use. Small things. Quality of the images I've never had an issue with. While it's only 10 mgs and, I crop in frame, so I maximize my resolution and image quality. Have to do these small things when you have a lesser camera, but these are things that are goo to be in the habit of doing anyways.
First of all nice pictures. She's very pretty and the way she looks fits the mood of the pictures very well. She's much prettier in the second picture, but the first photo is better. I would have preferred if you couldn't see her hand in the first picture, but it's still very nice, romantic and nostalgic. Excellent work!So, I searched through this forum to see if there was an older thread on this topic directly. I didn't see one, so... This thread is for posting your own photography.

Another thing about the first frame. If she would have turned just slightly more to the camera, just enough that you could guess the right side of her face in the dark, it would soften the hard edge between light and shadow which is creating a sharp edge on the outline of her nose.
A little more red or just a litle more color intensity (careful since it's easy to go overboard) in her hair and lips would bring out the paleness of her skin even more and you would have a truly classical portrait. But I'm really nitpicking at this stage
I shot this photo maybe 200m from my house, almost by accident since I don't always have my camera handy, no color correction less than 5% level correction:
I guess the better the camera,the more letters and perhaps numbers it has? I just use a fuji digi camera for family pics
Thanks for the comments and critique. I credit my rapid progress to my ability to accept both and then apply both to my next shoot. I told my professors last semester that while it feels great to get my ego stroked by excessive/unwarranted praise, such doesn't help me make up the time I've lost in photography, nor help me improve from shoot to shoot. I instructed them to find a specific detail that most wouldn't comment on, and critique it. So, thanks. I can still apply some of your comments/critiques. I could add a layer and soften the shadow on the nose in image one, as well as bump up the red/vibrance to a further level, then, if needed bump down saturation a smidge. I don't go overboard with photoshopping, but each image has about two hours, and prolly could stand an hour more each.First of all nice pictures.

Amazing shot. Aside from the setting, which is fantastic, and the level of diffused lighting due to clouds, which sets both an eerie and yet approachable quality, your framing is perfect. It looks/sounds like you nailed F-Stop and Shutter speed with your minimal post production. Love the silhouetted aspect of the subjects of the image. Not sure if this is more to do with the angle of the light, the cloud cover, your camera settings or a combination of all three, but the mood it helps to create is amazing. Lucky you had your camera.I shot this photo maybe 200m from my house, almost by accident since I don't always have my camera handy, no color correction less than 5% level correction:
Was never able to get these type of nature shots. Not sure why... I love nature photography, but whenever I think I've finally got that image, I'm typically disappointed. Great work... Great identification of an image.
My only comment pertains to what appear to be telephone poles sandwiching the tree on the left side of the image. One is much more noticeable than the other, but each works to distract slightly from the timeless feel of the setting and mood. Shouldn't be too difficult to photoshop each out. I feel it would further the setting/mood portrayed by the image.
my daughter does great pics, get awards and recognition with her iPhone camera
It was pure luck. The weather was cloudless and at the early hour of the shot a combination of morning dew and fog was lifting due to the increased power of the sun. There was a slight breeze that created the layers in the fog.
I just took my time shooting (took around 20 shots) and paid attention to the framing.
I agree fully on the phone pole comment - they are distracting.
A little later. The fog almost gone, just enough of it to give volume to the sun rays:
The sunstreams are amazing, telephone lines distracting (but an easy fix), overall, however, it lacks the "wow" factor of the other image. Amazing, and I'm definitely jealous of the shot, but I could see that first image (sans telephone poles) hanging up as art in a lot of place.
Here's a few images from my first couples shoot. These are engagement shots, but the ring was out getting resized, so no ring shots - I was very disappointed.
Naomi & Bryant
The last image is my attempt to recreate a vintage look. Soft, faded colors, muted tones, but still very distinct edges. The left side is blank strategically, as I want to use it as a promotional business card or possible poster/ad should I get that involved. Also, I wanted to allow them the chance to add text to the image, should they want. Naomi told me they added the text of "In Your Eyes" to the image via digital file and made a large print to adorn their wedding reception.
Slomo, stop posting Buddy Holly's pictures as if YOU took them! :P
Random stuff from over the years, all shot on film.
I see we have some talented photographers on this forum. Nice pics CuckingFunt. Tough I especially like 1, 6 and 7.

Yeah. That was a self portrait assignment I did for class about a year ago.
