ITT jumping. Avedon always liked it because it got his subjects to relax and not take themselves as seriously. I love his jumping series.

Desperately needs to be portrait orientation and include her left hand.

Holy jumping asians, Batman!

I thought about portrait orientation for the first one, but I've found myself falling into that groove a lot lately, and I've been trying to break out. Putting her in the middle of the frame, surrounded by basically empty space actually felt right for this shot, but I could be wrong. Here's a portrait orientation one. It's overall less dynamic and fun, though.

I agree with your decision.

And it's not like she had an exposed female breast in her left hand, anyway. I assume.

Fucking amazing image quality. Could be a better shot if it included her hand and if you had used the thirds rule but it looks amazing nevertheless imo.

Yeah, the hand thing was unfortunate and unintended, but damn she jumps high! It was hard work keeping her in the frame, heh.

I used a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 prime lens, it's a joy. At 1.8, you get dreamy images with fabulously shallow depth of field, and from f2.8-f8, it produces images that are freakishly sharp for a ~$100 lens. Everyone starting out should get one of these.

What do you think of this shot, taken later that day? It's quickly shot up to my #2 most "interesting" shot on flickr.

nice pic, but i feel the colour has been over saturated just a tad.

Namefag disagrees.

I like the colors as they are.
>> heavyweather !4AIf7oXcbA
I oversaturated the colors in both>>41022and>>40894

I felt it gave them a bit more punch. Mixed comments are good, it means there's something to disagree about! Heh.

I'm going to shoot a fashion show later tonight, so we'll see if I come back with anything that isn't completely boring.
>> thefamilyman
>>41083
lol namefag, oh wait, makes me one too. The irony of 4chan.

anyway, i think the colours *do* need saturating, especially with digital, but i think in>>41022they were over saturated just by a tiny amount too much. The green is beautiful, but you look in the dark ares of skin tone, it looks quite orange, thats my only problem is that it messes up the overall skin tone if over saturated too much. ^_^
>> heavyweather !4AIf7oXcbA
>>41090
I think you're exactly right. My objective was to make the apple as green as possible, and so I tried to do that in Aperture. Big mistake, I'm thinking, because even with adjusting the color curves, it affected too much skin. I think a better approach would be a saturation mask in Photoshop, and just hit the apple with 1.21 jigawatts of awesome color power.

Any problems with my plan, or better ideas?
>> thefamilyman
>>41091
dont forget to also saturate the skin just a little too, otherwise your going to have this radioactive looking apple and a dead looking girl.

c-c-combo breaker. Caucasian male performing Kung Fu during Asian Students Multicultural show.

I have a bunch more from this event and I'm going to need advice on post processing (definitely had some problems with exposure at ISO1600), so I guess I should make my own thread later on, but I'd love any comments you can give on this one for now.

Is it just me or does it look like she's jumping superhumanly high? (I assume it's a side effect of the camera but still...)

Wow, this is awesome. How did you manage to nail the focus at f/2.8?? :O
>> Anonymous
>>41889
Um... I don't think she was jumping forward or backward enough to get out of the focal plane. Focus when she's standing still, lock that focus area by going manual, then jump away.
>> heavyweather !4AIf7oXcbA
I use manual focus with a DK-21M viewfinder magnifier, so it's much easier than the normal porthole view you get on a D50.

perhaps... note the hand.

I got lots more, but might I suggest swimming at night for your next photoshoot?

This is really nice.
The only thing that bugs me about it is the left hand, and even that is extremely minor, not detrimental enough to distract from the photograph as a whole. Colors are nice, balance is great, capturing that hair in motion... it's all great.
