This morning before heading out to some Thanksgiving dinners, I spent some time working on a request. A girl I photographed a while back contacted me wanting more copies of the photos I took of her. At the time we met up at a park I like to use for outdoor shooting, her friend recommended her to me and I agreed to shoot some basic images for her personal use. I gave her a few photos at the time, but now she needs some for a beauty pagent of some sort.
In regards to the photos, I noticed that when I took these images, I really didn’t have a plan, so many of the shots are not to my liking. For example, this photo of her standing with that pose, not my favorite, but its what she wanted to do. Then its the depth of field (DOF), I should have moved closer/zoomed in to blur out the background more, or opened up my aperture more, after all I was using a Nikon 80-200AF 2.8. I guess this happens when I don’t plan the shoots, sometimes I don’t get what I want. The second photo, as you can see, I zoomed in and was able to blur a lot more. One other aspect of the photo I don’t like is the bright sun spots in the background, at the time I took the pictures, I knew they would be a problem. Later as I worked on the photos at home, I realized it was more of a distraction than I thought they would be, but there is little I could do about it know. Oh well. At least this was just a fun shoot only!
Well, turkey time! Got to go!
