Here is one of the MANY photos I tried to take of my daughter. I DO NOT have a studio. I do NOT have back drops (what you see is fleece) I do NOT have proper lighting equiptment. I used a standard household lamp, and Natural lighting from a bay window. Here is one. IN CS3 color looks good.. But when uploaded to Flickr, color got pale.

With shots like that, save the money on studio lighting and spend it on the lens you want. Great capture!

Awesome shot. Inspires me to mess around with household objects to make a DIY studio.

Nice shot. Did you use the 85 F1.8 for that one? Amazing thing to me is the mix of light temps don't show in the pic. I would have expected the lamp side to be red.

Anyway, if you work in Adobe RGB, you should convert your pics to sRGB before uploading. All photo sites and the web in general, are sRGB, and that is how they will they will "see" your photos. A symptom of an Adobe RGB image being assigned the sRGB color space is dull colors.

For someone without alot of stuff, you are doing magnificent. Keep it up. She is beautiful. it even looks like she has a slight lighter "ora" around her which makes her look even more angelic. Thanks for sharing.

When editing and zooming in, you can see in her hair an orangey-red highlight from the lamp. I actually dodged that out a bit. Not sure how. I played around a bit until it got lighter and almost matched her hair.. Still isnt perfect but works :) OH and No it was Stock Lens.

Great shot for someone who doesn't have a studio.

We have a local photographer here who ONLY uses natural and existing light at whatever location the client chooses, so no imported backgrounds. I believe she has a few portable reflectors also. She did some outstanding photos of one of my grand babies.

So, you can use what is there, like you have and get great results, as you have.

Very nice. Maybe you don't need a studio or equipment. You seem to have an eye to do what you did.



Ain't nothin but a thing.
