Your welcome! I finally got a camera upgrade :) (Smile) !!! Any suggestions or comments you have would be appreciated! I'm going to photograph Alexander's Castle tomorrow!

glunac In reply to ProdigalMedic [2009-04-20 13:46:09 +0000 UTC]

Just take as many pictures as you want, different angles etc. & try different settings to see which ones you like best (of the same shot). Each camera seems to perform differently. Get to know your camera.

I am NOT a professional photographer. Most of my photos are just sharing of memories or reference photos (for paintings).

Alexander's Castle sound very interesting!

How did you get started in portrait/fashion type photography? I cant exactly go to art school, so i'm reading as much as possible. But i want to start buying equipment, etc. Any suggestions?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ricmerry In reply to ProdigalMedic [2009-04-12 05:44:01 +0000 UTC]

That's a big question.
I started with landscapes and natural light. I've never been to school but have taken several seminars, read many books, listened to many podcast, read lots of magazines, subscribe to a couple organizations/educational sites and I keep an eye on both commercial advertisement work and places like Model Mayhem and of course Deviant Art.
I think the best way to learn lighting is with continuous lighting and basic modifiers, it's also the cheapest way to start.

ProdigalMedic In reply to ricmerry [2009-04-12 07:05:44 +0000 UTC]

what do you mean by basic modifiers? Flashes and screens/reflectors? I'm a voracious reader, so I'm filling up on that - and I'm learning a lot about poses and composition from friends of mine - so anything i can gather is a big help - thanks for taking the time.

ricmerry In reply to ProdigalMedic [2009-04-12 15:16:42 +0000 UTC]

A modifier is anything that would change the light. Umbrella, reflector, gobo (blocks light) softbox, scrim, grid, snot, barn door, etc.
I think that for portraiture if one starts out with a single light source and a simple reflector they can learn and light lots. The single light source could be natural light but it's pretty hard to control, I'd start with a hot light/continuous/a light bulb in a reflector.
My favorite lighting book is called "Light, science and magic."
Shoot lots of pictures all the time

No problem - you do great work - I'm just getting started in photography, and retro/pin-up style is what i like - so i'm trying to find as many ideas and influences as possible - keep up the good work!
