argash Member 83 posts Joined Feb 2007 Location: Austin, TX More info | Picked up my 60D on Friday and been toying with it ever since. Right now I only have the nifty fifty for testing as I'm still waiting for the 28-135 to arrive. Here's the first test shot I'm willing to share. It's been a while since I've done an HDR shot but this really seemed to make the image much more vibrant than the original.   Canon 60D w/grip // EF 50mm f/1.8 mII // EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM // EF 85mm f/1.8 // EF 70-200 f/4 L

Jennifer.20110409.4912.jpg by nathancarter, on FlickrThese two are inside at dinner. I didn't want to use the flash. #3 is ISO3200, #4 is a long exposure with the camera sitting on the table. In retrospect I should have used a somewhat smaller aperture on #4. Significant WB corrections on both, otherwise not much processing.

Jennifer.20110409.4928.jpg by nathancarter, on FlickrTwo more outside after dinner. #5 is next to a fountain, I had set the Speedlite on the edge of the fountain to bounce off the fountain bowl (camera right), and used to pop-up flash for a bit of fill. I think I had cranked the pop-up down to 1/64 power... just experimenting with different flash power and ratios. Not too much post: Just desaturated a bit, decreased contrast for most of the photos, used an adjustment brush to increase contrast again around the eyes.

Jennifer.20110409.4989.jpg by nathancarter, on FlickrNearing the end of dinner, the gentleman at the table next to us proposed to his lady friend. They were taking photos with a disposable and an iPhone, so I offered to snap a few and e-mail them. I wish I had taken a half step backwards for this one, and framed it slightly better. My focus isn't quite right either. I was rushing and it shows in the results.  Victoria and Alberts.20110409.4941.jpg by nathancarter, on Flickrhttp://www.avidchick.com

More info | Apr 10, 2011 16:09 | #6501 nathancarter wrote in post #12195173 Sorry for the long post, I'm trying to improve my portrait skills so any C&C is appreciated. For my wife's 37th birthday, we went to Victoria & Albert's in the Grand Floridian hotel near the Magic Kingdom, Disney World. So, while she was dressed up and made up, I took the opportunity to practice my portrait and glamour-style shooting. I didn't want to drag around any real lighting modifiers, so I just had the Speedlite. The first two are with the Sigma 17-70 OS Macro, the rest are with the Canon 50mm 1.4. The skin tones are actually pretty accurate. She's got extremely pale, fair skin. Objectively, it looks washed out, but she hasn't been feeling well this week so she's more pale than usual. Two before dinner, at the entrance to the hotel. Mostly afternoon sun, had the Speedlite off to the side to fill in, especially her eyes. Post-processing is very minimal except for some slight exposure tweaks, and I spot-removed a bug bite off her shoulder. These two are inside at dinner. I didn't want to use the flash. #3 is ISO3200, #4 is a long exposure with the camera sitting on the table. In retrospect I should have used a somewhat smaller aperture on #4. Significant WB corrections on both, otherwise not much processing. Two more outside after dinner. #5 is next to a fountain, I had set the Speedlite on the edge of the fountain to bounce off the fountain bowl (camera right), and used to pop-up flash for a bit of fill.
