      Good shit holla! Loving the vignetting.

      Was experimenting with some lighting today.. Tomorrow I am supposed to take pictures of someone for money, so hopefully they'll like my work. Going to be using a canon 420EX II speedlite (borrowed).

            Well, Beats uses the S90 and my next compact is likely to be an S95….....

                        Yeah next step is to create an online portfolio and try and promote myself. I am way nervous though, what I'm thinking is if he will like it or not.. I hope he does though. Its so strange though to be paid for what I love doing.

                        I will not only give a report but repost pictures of the shoot. I just hope it all goes through, waiting to hear from him but if it does you'll see another post from me.

                          what i think ill feel kinda uncomfortable about on my first session is that i dont like to stand under pressure. since i see myself as a kinda free artist and all that...should be a new experience pour moi 🙂

                          thanks mega!

                                I had the Canon S90, and now have the S95. Another camera to consider is the Panasonic LX5. I chose the Canon over the Panasonic primarily because it is even more compact. Canon also has an underwater housing available. Regardless, both are terrific cameras. A camera forum I would recommend is:

                                  well, since it was one of my friends I shot it wasn't as nerving.. Here are 2 shots I took (out of a hundred or so).

                                  I am thinking the second one needs to be re-edited (ie. look at the records).

                                  Here are the originals to give an idea of how much work I did to get them to look like that (his wish is my command!). I do however want to note these aren't going to be photos that are going to be blown up. He is using them for posters and business cards and such.

                                      Lax, those look much much better. Maybe get a curves layer going on those first ones you posted and bring the mid up and get some contrast going. They're a bit underexposed and flat. (Just my opinion, only love man).

                                        Thanks man! Yeah, a few of the pictures can be a little brighter. I will be going back into CS5 and editing a few I have already edited and the ton of them I didn't get to editing yet. But I know what you mean and in all honesty I would rather have someone say they look like shit for whatever reason than saying they love them because when they say why they look like shit I have next time to try and improve!

                                          Exactly man. Constructive criticism and practiceI practice practice will only make you better. Just keep photographing and don't sweat the mistakes because you learn that way, and sometimes the mistakes end up being better than what you originally had in mind. Keep up the good work my dude!

                                            Lax, if you're gonna desaturate the first image so much you might as well just make it BW. When you bring it down that much it just ends up looking muddy and too brown.

                                            Bring up the blacks in the second image because they're def under exposed. Don't know if you're shooting to RAW but I do most of my color tweaking in RAW.
