not my favorite shot from this kids shoot, cause i knw there are more. Amazing angle, amazing focus. ONly issue is with his right leg, i can see skin. Don't you carry large black socks for your models, i carry about 14 pairs for all of mine, come on dave catch up with the times. I kid i kid. Your a mad genius

You're right about the skin, and i caught it too. Man, I WISH you hadn't seen that!!! You can't let ANYTHING slide with you guys!! Sheesh maneesh! Yeah, I HATE IT when my models bring dress shoes with NO SOCKS. WTFudge?!?! What are they THINKING!? Oh well. This would take 2 seconds to fix in PS.

O.O... I never knew photographers had to go to such heights. Heh, if I tried that, I'd probably fall off and split my head in two.
Anyways, it's a nice shot.
And I have a question...
What do you think would be a good starting camera? I've been working with my moms digital, but it doesn't do the focus on one subject and blur out the background thing. Is there a camera out there that's inexpensive that I could buy?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
DEFINTELY!! Anyone who EVER asks me about cameras knows that I'll tell you older is better. Now this isn't goiong to be the case 100% of the time, but typically, it is. Older cameras were built better, for one. I myself am a Minolta guy. I shot an SRT 101 as my very first SLR, and it was a WONDERFUL camera!! I loved that thing to DEATH. Now I'm shooting a Maxxum 7000, which is basically a piece of crap attached to a camera strap. Its too old to be cool and too new to be vintage, however it takes EXCELLENT photos. You can pick up one of these at a decent pawn shop for $200 or less. That would be my BEST recommendation. Get a Minolta or Nikon, Canon or Pentax, they're all good tools. Make sure, however, that you get one thats FULLY MANUAL. You need to be comfortable adjusting all the settings manually, learning how light works, and try to let the computer do as little work as possible. To be an excellent photographer, you really need to hone your craft, and an old SLR is EXACTLY the tool for you.

Thank you so much for the advice! That should help a lot. Heh, now I just have to save up the money to buy one. It might take a while, but I'm sure it'll be worth it! Oh, by the way, what does SLR stand for?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex, and it means that there's a mirror inside your camera, and when the shutter is opened up to reveal the image to the film, it first bounces off this mirror, and hen records it onto the film. If it were a DSLR, that means DIGITAL SLR, and its the same thing with the mirror, only instead of recording the image onto film, it does it digitally.

Ah... I see. Thanks, you've helped a TON. I'll come back to you if I need more help (*ahem* which will probably be soon)
Much love!

Wow. What an awesome compliment from YOU! I was beginning to think I'd lost your faith in me!!

sometimes your work falls into averageness [that is, average compared to what you can do] but often you pull out something amazing that makes up for the rest of them.
like this.

Well I'm glad you're never afraid to tell it to me as you see it. I am, afterall, HUMAN. I try to 'feel' shots as much as possible, but unfortunately, sometimes I feel as if I'm just doing a job.. which sucks, but that's how I'm sure it is for most artists in this type of field, and I guess just about anybody else who's out there working for money. Unfortunately, stuff doesn't always go the way we plan it, and sometimes we don't feel like being there at ALL.

someones gotta be honest round here hey?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very true indeed. So many people get caught up in how much they like everything in general that they are a afraid to critique ONE single image. I wish more people would just say whats on their mind.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know you will. I sent that last message last night while I was falling asleep. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to say that. I had to go back and read it over and over and over again while I was typing it. It was pretty funny. Surprisingly enough, though, it all made sense. Wild.
