looks decent.

next time out, you should turn your white balance temperature down using the built in meter. will make the pavement and such a more natural colour.

I definitely will, the colors were really weird, I did one set to auto and one set to halogen lighting and both were meh. I only kept the colors the way they were because since my tripod was broken the images came out shaky and the way the colors are now give a eery look I think.. Maybe its just me

try shooting around 2500k or shoot in raw and adjust on the computer when you get home, it's pretty neat what you can do with the meters on the computer.

I only shoot RAW haha, so I can go back and change the colors and reupload maybe. I just wasn't too pleased with it anyways in the beginning

Yeah sorry guys I can't show anymore...they are NSFW and not safe for my health if the truth gets out! Buuuuut I can tell you that when she comes to visit me in the states I will be hitting Rodi up for some contacts in the ATL area to get her a professional shoot done...she had one before but it was crap IMHO.

Chewy734 · 04-15-2011, 02:51 PM

you know... that's what PMs, email, etc are for... just sayin'

+1 we can be discrete, she'll never know anything was shared

Chewy734 · 04-15-2011, 02:57 PM

not to mention we have no idea who she is... our purpose isn't to put you in the doghouse.

+1, a very good point

adrean8j · 04-15-2011, 03:26 PM

Absolute last one..different young lady: Half Greek/Half German, all woman

BTW these were all taken @night....LOL

The1 · 04-15-2011, 03:27 PM

you say it will be the last, but you know it won't because you like the support you get from fellow guys saying "good job!!!" and "damn, moar plz!!!"

Chewy734 · 04-15-2011, 03:34 PM

damn, moar plz!!!

adrean8j · 04-15-2011, 04:21 PM

ha...I would need my own thread for all that support!

But to get back on topic a shot I took a while ago with my old 1000d with a nifty-fifty:

When I mentioned it to her a few months back you were the first person to come to mind....so you had dibs even though you didn't know it!

Haha...thanks buddy....I will definitely keep that in mind....but to be honest...I might use her as my muse when I finally get to a place where I can start really practicing portraiture and the like....but I do really want to get her a pro-shoot...maybe as a present or something.
