One from Easter weekend.
And one from my nude photo class. Got some more to post but this is the only one suitable for NT. Didn't ho too OD on the touch ups but I did remove all of her birth marks. Sort of gave it a little too unrealistic look but I thought it looked ok for what it is.
Cam should be here by mid next week. Hopefully early next Tues so I can have a day to play with it.
I have a shoot in mind and will likely go to modelmayhem
I like that you're trying to perfect your craft. That's a great start.
For some reason, the edited photo looks less natural to me. It's almost as if the shadows were inverted or something.
Anyways, for a shot like that, I probably went portrait. I know you're just practicing your editing, but also practicing your composition will definitely help you in the long run. You did a good job on the white balance. It's a little too yellow for me, but that's just my personal preference.
You're off to a good start. Keep practicing and happy shooting!
For what it's worth, her's how I would have done it; albeit quickly, and without filters.

I appreciate this. I know some people use different tools to get the white balance right in camera, but how would I get a better white balance without having to set it custom everytime? I want to get close in camera. Normally I keep it on auto, but inside my house I now do tungsten since that works best here. I started this after that edit. Should I just go through the presets each time and see what works best for each situation?
Maybe it's me but I like the shadows lol. I feel like I "fixed" them. as for white balance I can tell I did well, but it's not perfect. I think fixing my in camera white balance settings could help. Just gotta learn more about it

are you shooting raw? you get the most leeway with raw, but sometimes it is better to custom set it just so you see it in camera...it might be worth it to go through the presets just so you know how each changes your results.
as for your images, white balance might help it some but it seems it might be more helpful to mess around with the actual lighting, and positioning the subject to take advantage of the light in flattering or interesting ways...good luck!
Oh yeah I gotta do some more serious shoots so I can learn more. I am shooting in raw, but does the white balance settings get removed like a Canon picture style does?
nah, the auto white balance picks for what the camera is seeing, if the camera is set to raw you can make pretty big adjustment to it without degrading the image; i don't know if it works the same using flash(es) though and i'm not sure how picture styles are applied on the canon side...

I honestly just keep mine at auto. Correct it in post with one click pretty much in Lightroom. As others have stated, shooting RAW gives you the best leeway in correcting for WB/etc.

yeah i will keep doing that since i shoot in raw anyways. i feel like i did a well enough job with my edit that i can keep doing it.
Finally used my D3300 outside today, and it was at a wedding. I have A LOT to learn man. One of the photographers did ask me if I wanted to do an apprenticeship at his studio so I must of been doing something that looked right (the way I was taking pics, my style, etc. No idea lol). Figured out that it's harder than it looks but the hardest thing (to me) is getting over that "perfect shot" mode. I found myself trying to get the perfect shot and missing a couple potential shots at first. Had to remember that that is what continuous mode is for, and why shutter speed is there. Good little learning curve for me. May post some pics if I can find some of the fam that doesn't mind
wood inseminateI don't share much in here. Hopefully I can be more active

maybe crop out the maroon things on the bottom? kinda distracting
It's kind of hard to cause I want the aspect ratio to be correct from the original size. I didn't think it looked that odd in person and some photographers in that class had wider lenses which showed more of the chair and sort of gave it that uniformed pattern but with my 50mm, it only got the tip which didn't look as good. Mental note to self and others that shoot flash, always go with a zoom. Just way more friendlier than a prime and the flash helps get you sharp photos where you don't need the faster lens.
