I packed up my bag with my camera, tripod, mini stool, IR shutter remote control and most importantly - my scarf....
I've just got a nifty fifty myself - they're brilliant aren't they!
You have done really well and got three nice portraits there but to group them together it would be nice for them to have some sort of unifying theme, such as some processing to give them all similar colours etc.
Congratulations on your new lens, I enjoy my 50 also.
Your triptych doesn't work for me as I expect the pictures in such to flow. You have put your lady{?) in the middle but the children either side need to be in colour also, or all b&w.
The image in #1 is a lovely portrait of a playful soul and as such I feel more suitable to solo presentation. The middle image has a blown sky (would look better b&w?) #3 is VERY close to having the top of his head clipped off
I will endeavour to visit and do a proper critique each week from now
Hiya David,
Well done on the trio shot, the photos are great. However I think that it would have been better to have the last photo in colour to maintain the continuity, or alternatively all the images in b&w. Also the sky in the middle shot looks a tad over exposed (which might actually look better in b&w).
Furthermore, I think if you finished the image with a plain black border it would look fab.
Otherwise great job.
Cheers
Dawn
