Does it really matter what anon thinks? As long as you like and enjoy taking your photos, fuck what everyone else thinks.

Besides this is 4chan, you'd just get trolled anyway.

Corrected levels show how truly poor this picture is.

Too dark and seems really soft too, but maybe it's just the compression. Also it kinda bothers me that her feet seem to be cut off. I really like the texture on the background though.

/p/ haet abandoned places apparently.

As you said, inexperienced model, and it shows in the awkward and boring pose. The texture on the wall is the only good point really.

Im sure he was just commenting on the fact that i was in an abandoned grain silo. i guess its now considered nostalgic to actually go out into the world and take pictures rather than throw up a white sheet and turn on the lights. improper use of sage.plus hes just being a douche bag.


picture from when my speedlight wasn't dead.

I like its aesthetic, and I like that it's dark, but it's still a little two dark. Push by... 2/3rds of a stop maybe?

Also, it doesn't really pan out beyond an aesthetic level, it doesn't say much about the subject, which is usually the point of a portrait.

Also, Nokin, is your monitor calibrated? If not, do it before you process any more photographs.

Doesn't need to be one of thoes fancy machine things, just one of those web pages where you manually calibrate the screen to match.

I adjusted the levels to make the histogram completely leveled out you drooling dumb fuck. It proves that it was underexposed with poor color balance in the first place. I didn't change the levels and colors to make it "look normal".

Yes, underexposed, slight-green hue to her skin tone, and it looks a little soft too. Also boring. Look at some glamor magazines for cool, creative portrait ideas in unlikely places, ads and all.
>> nokin !ozOtJW9BFA
so i just calibrated my monitor using spyder suite 2 and discovered that the pictures is 1/3rd darker than it was earlier.
>> okto !.ZlrOYZhsk
>>211895
That doesn't account for the 2 stops of underexposure in the original. 1/10.

What, is she in a fucking cave or something?

next time, crouch a bit so your camera is in line with her chest. it's more flattering for the model.

In this case, you should have told her to take a step away from the wall, you should have taken two steps back. There's no reason for you to shoot at f8 in this pic, also you shot at 1/160. You can afford to lose a bit of shutter speed to get the proper exposure
