                      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.

                                            Yeah, I hear ya both! The first image I really like though, I am a fan of desaturated photos almost black and white but enough to tell they aren't. I shot all of the photoshoot in raw so I could easily adjust the light. But some of the images I have to go back and re-edit when I am able to get back on a mac because they are underexposed.

                                            I am starting to think I might want to get a wider angle lens though. I know I am using a crop and what not but I might as well just get the 50 1.4 and get the 24 1.4. I find myself never really going to 1.2 because it is honestly too soft. Plus I was fine with the 50mm for a while but it is too hard to get wide shots. The lens isn't also as sharp as I would like it to be. But then again I just had an idea tonight, going to think it over though if I really want to go through that whole entire process.
