I haven't gotten a chance to shoot much lately but here are a few from the recent past:

Here are some newer ones you guys haven't seen, what do you think?

http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/member.php?u=53329Sc3nwriter, I really dig the colors in those first four pictures. It looks like you didn't have to do much tweaking (if any really) in post, that it was all in camera. Good work.

Those are super lovely, especially the ones with the gentle flaring. Lens?

Here's something a little different for this thread: some photos of my armory I took this morning.

 

[armisiano]

So I've been doing other peoples headshots for quite a while now, and I've always been curious how I would like it if I were to do my own. I needed some good character shots that showed my quirkier nature, a bit more of who I really am. Thanks to an assistant and a few hours of efforts, I was able to, essentially, shoot myself. Here are my 3 favorites.

Screenwriter, I really liked your 1st, 2nd (she's falling!), and 3rd. The 4th doesn't work for me with such a strong tilt but I really like the idea of having the train tracks be so prominent and having the vanishing point in the frame with the lines of the tracks being so long. Perhaps a bit of a compromise between the angle and the size of the tracks would work better for me. Otherwise it is a fantastic photo.

The 5th however feels a bit flat in terms of luminosity, especially coming after the 4th. The flares don't help it.

I really love the colors on the train track set.

THANKS GUYS!

USlatin, I feel the same about 5, the flares don't help. I've been getting alot of flares lately I wonder why?

thanks for the honest opinion and the comments

Dougspice I like the second photo alot, it's angle and the way the light shapes the gun is good.

and armisiano those are some great headshots, I really like the last one his yes just seem to pop out great work.

sc3enwriter, using a UV filter on that lens? seems most prominent with the last pictures reflected highlights

 

[Sc3nwriter]

Yeah, is that what's causing all the flare?

I haven't really learned the ropes in grading and such in photoshop... but here's some shots from the other week of my oldest daughter:

What kind of processing did you do for that photo?

 

[alwayslearning]

Hey Brad ... I live in Ohio, but I was there at Manhattan Beach this Summer. This is from my ... hope this doesn't get me booted off of here ... Sony A700. Handheld "quick shot"; 800 ISO, f3.5, 1/10 shutter, 18mm (27mm actually ... X1.5)

Nice photos.
