Timing




Somehow I was confused and thought for some reason I was doing expression and not timing until I just read the assignment again...oh well. Dan said he already showed you some of these and he tweaked them in PS because I still suckadoo!

Good job on this assignment.

Great compositions throughout, The lighting is nice and the post processing isn't to shabby,(Dan). Although, keep the use of the sharpening tool to a minimum. (already talked to Dan about this)

Photo 1 is my favorite. What I like is that you came down to her level, this is important especially when shooting children. The foreground really lends a hand to your composition adding depth before the subject, giving you a foreground middle and back. The expression and timing is nice, its a very soft and touching photo. Perfect f-stop, Good job!

Photo 2 is generally a good photo, but something about her expression suggests to much age to me, almost a sultry look. Love how she pops out of that door frame though, this is a good dynamic light pic.

Photo 3 has great timing, I love the untied shoe laces. What she is wearing is much less distracting here then in photo 2, something to watch out for.

Over all great job, a very successful photo shoot, im sure her parents want a few blown up.

A on photography
F on post cause your husband did them, I hope you are getting your hands wet in Photoshop, Dan knows enough to get you where you are comfortable doing this on your own. Its important that you learn PS as its a large part of the total learning process. I assume you are trying and not just handing these off to him.

I know one of your goals is to have clean crisp photos like Yan.

The 4 factors to having the sharpest photos are:
1. chosen depth of field + point of focus.
2. knowing what the optimal f-stop is for any particular lens in your bag.
3. A high quality L series lens will have a sharper image and better picture. A 1200$ lens vs a 300$ lens, the difference is more then just price.
4. Post processing, but be careful of going over board.
