The image is fantastic and the PP really brings out the style you were going after!

Thanks Moomike, appreciate the comments!

Great images, but I would echo some of the thoughts on the viewpoint being too low - I can the effect that is being sought however so understand why.

I think it's a fantastic portrait - once I opened it up on Flickr and saw it at a good size - what you posted was far too big for my 1080p Monitor (excuse to upgrade). I don't think it's overdone at all and really makes me think of his age, history and perhaps struggle.

Think they are a brilliant set of images with 4 being my personal favourite. The use of Mono in the original set really sets them apart from the later images, I'd be interested to see them converted also! Good job!

Hopefully we can get back out with him in the coming weeks and get some more images. I do think I am trying to be too specific with my focus using a flexible spot, maybe a move to an area AF would help with him movement.

Yeah they are a bit soft which I think I covered fairly well in the introduction #1 - missed focus slightly, seemed to have settled on his mouth / chin #2 - ok I think, close to the eyes #3 - again, ok - his right (our left) eye #4 - his face to push the foreground objects oof

Just a few pictures from a weekend walk with my Wife and our Nephew. First time trying to use the 55mm 1.8 in anger, missed focus a few times (he moves so much!) and its perhaps not as sharp as I was expecting so may need to do some tests on static objects so see if I need to calibrate (it is...

Hi All, Just a few captures from my friends wedding, Friday past. Have a lot more but have left them to my Facebook for my friends to share and use as they wish. I decided to just take along my d5100 with the 35mm 1.8 and simply used my feet for zoom! 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Let me know what...

Thanks Both - I really wish I had got a good sharp capture on the first one but I was really struggling with auto focus in the conditions. Meant to go take some pictures of the guys last week and unfortunately I am missing their set in the world famous King Tuts in Glasgow this Friday

Really like the first image you posted - really gains something from the great PP

Ended up with a really good image there

I will give it a try. I should have quite a lot of opportunities to shoot this band over the coming year. Looking to get my own equipment soon as I am currently using the family Nikon 5100d, kit lens and 35mm

Thanks for the comments :) The lighting make it very very challenging and I was pretty under prepared. Really wish I had taken a tripod with me to help out

Definitely get the three framed in that manner - looks brilliant, well done
