Not sure if I did the right thing... Panasonic are giving £200 cashback when you by this kit (£1449) which was further reduced to £1299 because the box seal was broken (I though £150 for this was more than fair for this) - I should get this camera for about £1099 at the end of all...

This is a fantastic photograph! So much narrative!

Just the right moment! :) And another :)

Have you any when you are either - Directly looking down the barrel of the lens? It you seem a little distant as a subject to me (IMHO) Have you tried any other ideas? Something a little more natural, perhaps even sitting down? Unless this must be a formal photo for something in particular. I...

Thanks buddy, I'll have a look at vignettes in Lightroom :) I'll try more contrast in the top right too!

I lOVE THAT YOU SAID THAT! I love contrast and often overkill it. I think I need to calibrate my monitor properly though... Do you guys calibrate using one of them gadgets?

Yes, it's great advice! With really no flim-flam! Thanks for the compliment :)

It's quite a strange genre of photography to work with, it's so restrictive and rigid in some ways and yet there are so many ways within the restriction. I quite like trying to find my own style, which I hope is coming across as 'real' people (as stupid as this sounds!) I have been doing it a...

Thanks I shall have a youtube of them! I am a big fan of natural light though! (I used a reflector to bounce some light in the ones above) I love your wedding stuff by the way, I'm hopefully looking to begin looking at that this year, I'm doing my research at the moment!

Yeah, I tend to get a bit too intimate with the F's, and shoot at 1.8! So is the head-crops a major bug bare then, I do have the option at least! :)

Thanks Thanks Dave :) I try to find the balance between flattering the client, and being truthful about what they look like, which is complicated (normally you can make someone look as slim as possible!) Top two were natural, and I did shoot a tad more so I have the option of including that...

Lovely shot! How was it originally composed, I see you have cropped it square (which really works by the way!) I see we have very as well from your profile!

Hello, I did use Talk Photography a while back when I was just starting out and I'd like to share some portrait photographs I've taken for Performers I'd quite like some feedback on what you like and dis-like, but please don't rip my head off. I am forever having feedbacks them from clients...

I have a iiyama ProLite X2775HDS monitor, which are work a look too! Very sharp!

My graphics card was bought mid last year and has VGA (as well as HDMI) I suppose it is only a matter of time before they are phased out though ...
