Worked with a girl today on headshots.

This one came out nice;

Hassy503cw, Zeiss macro-planar 120mm, and a simple Aptus-17.
Does the trick for me for studio lights.

Gidday,

A shoot for Ford.

I don't mean this as a criticism, but it looks more like an animation, a graphic, than a photograph.  Just speaks to the way technology is blurring the edges around things...

been away for 4 weeks and would love to show some photos but the old way to insert images
is gone, seems like I have to upload images to a website and then insert the url is that correct?
Seems like there are 2 ways of inserting images
- pasted in the message
- in a black box to be opened in another window

what to do?

thanks
marc

Been working on a serie with very simple lightsetups, here four from this serie.

[choen]

Two images here from two different recent campaigns. One for Heineken and one for Sony (used a pre production a900 which annoyed the hell out of everyone in my team due to it's inconsistency in studio).

[Snook]

I thought this thrad was for works your really proud of.
Not the daily model shoot type stuff.
Isn't the other thread for that..
I mean no offense but if we get the Daily shoots with models it is going to be filled with boring images if you ask me..
Just my opinion but seems like some are just flooding the thread with "daily" shoots..
Correct me if I am wrong
Thanks

i agree.

snook: like your website. so simple but why not,- thats attractive in it as well as it just shows images without  info.
did you made it with lightroom or similar tool or someone made ot for you?

[Frank Doorhof]

If you start it then start also with telling names ??

Who can say if the shots posted are daily shots or something they are proud off.
I know for myself I only post the work I shoot for personal work in the series, not the standard work and I guess that also counts for the other ones.

Take your own last post, is that a paid assignment you are working on ?
If you follow your own rules you can only post your work if you get paid for it (or do I understand incorrectly).

Why not just enjoy the sharing instead of trying to decide for others what is a pro work or a P&S work....
the atmosphere on LL is going rather downhill lately to be honest.

Hey Thanks..
Yes just a temporary Lightroom website from SlideShow pro..
I am making a site with sub directories like Beauty/Fashion/Portrait etc..
I like the simple Lightroom site and like to look like a slideshow..
But soome people have commented it is better to have it with catorgories...?
I know 400 something shot's is maybe too much but it is hard when I like a lot of my shot's.
I have literally thousands of images over the past 20 years..:+]

Frank, I guess you have to ask yourself are you really Proud of those shots'..
Not that they are bad, but Not certainly some of your best.. Looks a lot like most of your portrait studio stuff.. Not bad but I thought this forum was more for the WOW factor.
That is also why I probably won't post my typical model shoots here unless they are .....Wow..
Like I said no offense was meant..
Just hope this thread does not get filled with your daily model/people shoots.
Probably better in the other thread..
Snook

PS. Frank, I would get rid of the cheesy advertising icons on your pictures also.. Save that for your site if your looking to give publicity to Elinchrom, Leaf or whom ever..
Just MHO.


Decided to write here instead of using another post b/c would like to keep this post clean..:+}

Frank No problems here. I just do not use a filter on what I think and cannot help commenting.
Like I said your image is "nice" But would not consider it a Proud Image..
Like I said it looks like all your other images of people that you post here..
every page has a daily shoot image of yours..
Glad your getting images your proud of everyday with what ever subject matter you are shooting.
I will not comment anymore on your images as you obviuosly think I have something against you, which I do not.
Just try and keep this thread clean of the daily wannabe model shoots. from your talliers...:+}
Hope you understand...

[Frank Doorhof]

It's a shame this happens all the time between you and me, don't know why.

When I post something it's because I like it, and what is not wow for you can be wow for someone else.
I love to play with light, looking at what I post will make that clear I think.
Like it or not, it's not the what snook likes thread.

Don't put other photographers down because you have a personal opinion, start your own forum if you want that

To my mind it makes it look unfocused and lacking in discipline, especially as images seem somewhat random. Plus, to my mind there are also too many shots of same model in slightly different poses. Just choose the best one of each and use that. You'll have a much stonger site as a result.

Not this dumb observation, yet again.
I'll say what I said last time, I never even noticed the credits, until some dufus complained about them, as I simply looked at the photos.


Also - images that people are posting may be their work shots, but if they are proud of them, then they are proud of them, just because they are not to your tastes, doesn't make them bad photos.

Thanks jjj I appreciate the constructive criticism..
Like I said this is just a temp site while I am developing the new flash site..
I always have the same problem of selecting "The" image to post on my site...:+}
I will be following your advice and trying to shorten each story, which does make sense. And beleive it or not they are all shortened A lot already...:+}

I really did not mean offense but I really feel those shots look like his everyday shot's that he post all over the threads here...
As everyone know very well, I usually say what I feel and cannot hold back sometimes... Just so happens it was frank.
I am not going to comment anymore as I do not want this thread to be about aguing.. trying to respect Dust's intention of this thread.

The other has a post by Frank everyday...

I on the other like constructive crticism and am not offended at all by it.. Contrarily I like it. Helps artist like me see it in another perspective.

You never mean to offend but you comments are always full of poison.
The other thread died because of you and this one is going the same way.

I confirm everyday my decision of not posting my images anymore here. Very glad not seeing them mixed with all of this BS.

The sniping and personal attacks that seem to come with preexisting baggage are threatening another thread here.  
Is this tone part of a larger drift in the nature of LL, or a temporary phase?

Please don't post anything then..
Alteast if you pst images we have something to look at..
But your opinion means nothing and blogs up the thread even more, So in the same way you are poisoning the thread yourself.
If you don't like it, Then don't comment.. very easy really..:+}
Now you wasted 3 posts.. You and Colorwave and now my reply..Don't you feel like shit...?
Snook
Get over it an post images or don't post at all.
