MATERNITY C&C PLEASE :)

First time shooting an 8 month pregnant lady. What do you think? I think no.1 needs the shadows on her jeans lifted a bit when I see it on my ipad, but on my monitor it looks better. no. 2 may be too dark? no.3 i'd like to reduce highlights on them a bit. Am I right?

1.

Judging IQ/colors on a IPad is an exercise in futility.

I know, I was just having a look because that's the medium she's going to use to see them. My monitor is ips and calibrated and they look ok. Just wanted opinions

Your colors vary between images.

Will look into it.I did want to change a bit the color temp between indoors and outdoors, so there was a bit of a variety. Do you think this should't be done?. Of most of the shots in the garden I think I achieved similar colors between them

Will review color temp later on at home, though!

I am not suggesting that the individual RGB numbers be the same inside and outside.

Cool, It's always good to learn, and I can only that when I make mistakes . I really appreciate your input and will definitely have a closer look at them at home in LR to keep them as close as possible. I saw that that colorchecker is 80 quid on amazon. Anybody know a cheaper alternative? Would a grey card do or is it better to have a card with the different colours too?

A gray card will work...simply have the subject hold it while taking the first shot...don't change the lighting.

Will try it. Up to recently i was adjusting one image and then copying the white balance values for the shots within the same scene. If the light changes, the gray card helps too?
