Lovely images, like the mood it creates with B&W. Really like the perspective on no 6.

This may be a tough ask, but I'm looking for Rapeseed Fields to photograph my little ones running about in near Walsall, West Midlands. I've had a drive around but cannot locate any within a convenient distance. Thank you as always, Mani

Thankfully the parents did like them.

No, I'm using a MacBook pro and have never thought to calibrate the monitor. I'll search YouTube and have a go. Thanks.

Thanks Juggler, you're right, I used the Lightroom preset to soften skin and the clarity is right down. I never seem to get the clarity or saturation right, normally the kids look yellow in my pictures.

Yes, a little wiser, although I only take pictures of the babies in the family and only when asked to, so the pressure is on a little to deliver and I don't really have much time to practice. Hopefully a few more babies and I should be a little better. [emoji51] Thank you for the comments.

Hi all, This was my second attempt at a baby portrait. I had posted on the forum for some advice and thought it best to stick the pictures on here after having taken on the advice. Set up was in the loft. It did get very hot, baby was up and down, it was challenging to say the least...

Thank you all, let's hope the subject is well behaved.

Makes sense. I've been watching YouTube tutorials, but the settings you have advised to use, makes sense and then I can tailor the settings depending on how the pictures are looking. Thank you

I've reduced the aperture to f8 ISO is on auto - should really reduce it to 100. I will re check the shutter speed, not sure what it was off the top of my head. Using aperture priority. Would you suggest manual settings? Thank you.

Good evening all, I have been asked if I can take some pictures of my nephew. I have set up in the loft of my brother in laws house. Using an Elinchrom D Lite one in a rotalux octabox. I'm not familiar with studio flash, having used it a couple of times with varying results, mostly by...
