Lynnsey, the most adorable girl ever. C&C please

Had a wonderful evening shooting with Jordan Voth and Noah Sahady on their trip around the country. Always looking to improve myself, so please rape me and insult my pictures as best you can. Thank you.

dude you're so bad

reaaaaal good man

Terrible photos. Lol j/k great work man

I f'n love you. Great clarity my friend.

nice shots! Great model.

Jonathan! Sick photos brah!

I hate that last one ..

These are all fantastic.

Great shots, but I'm not a big fan of the post shallow DOF on the second shot. To me it's too obvious. But that's just me.

Is Photo 2 a photoshop shallow DOF image? It looks annoying to me since it is very obvious going against the principles of focus.
I have the reflections very busy and distracting in photos 3 and 4, try to find simple backgrounds not complicated detailed ones.
The last photo is nice, though I'd like to see the top of her head in it.
Next time, try to get a different expression on her face she has the exact same smile in every photo. There are times not to smile in a photo and it can look better than a smile.

Shallow dof image is very distracting and just doesn't do anything for the image. The images of her in front of the bookstore (or whatever that is) - don't like the background at all - too busy and you have a vertical window separator coming straight out the top of her head. Really like the last one the best even though it's probably the least creative. It's just very well done.

great job, beautiful girl!

haha, i hate to say it. But youre such a noob! :P. That is NOT post shallow DOF. It was taken with a 45mm Tilt Shift Effect lens. That shot was not tampered with in photoshop. Im insulted you would think i would do that. I too hate fake DOF.

Sorry Happy Snapper, but im also gonna call you a noob. Its actually not very obvious that it was fake DOF (because its not). Im not sure if you know what a tilt shift is (im sure you do) but youre making it clear you have no idea how the lens works. "Tilt-shift" actually encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens plane relative to the image plane, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. Tilt is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus (PoF). Youre concerned about the Tilting part of the lens, you can orient your focus to change the X&Y planes of the image as opposed to the "Z" plane for foreground and background depth.

Im also a natural light photographer, i love DOF. So i shoot wide open, the relfection bokeh is a "technically sound" photo for me. Thanks for your input/opinion.

Also, my subject isnt a model. She honestly has no other expression, believe me when i say, "i tried". So id appreciate if you focused more on my pictures then on my model. Id rather you insult me, than her :P. haha

Thanks bro, i appreciate what you have to say. Especially that there is a window separator coming out of her head haha. I suppose all that bokeh is supposed to distract you from it :P. I gotta disagree with you though, I LIVE for shallow dof.


Thank you everybody for your input! <3. Much love and respect!

Good job Johnny

well you should expect it from posting in here lol
