For portraits, I always focus on the eye but what if my subject is wearing eye glasses and I am using a shallow depth of field such as F2.8. How do I get sharp images in this situation?

Hello, The following two photos are shot with a D7100 and a Sigma 105mm 2.8 Macro lens. I used a single SB-700 in an umbrella positioned at approx 45 degrees up and in front of my sister. A bit of post-processing has improved the photos but it's clear to me that my camera settings/exposure were...

Here are a few photos around the city I took a few months back. I would appreciate honest feedback (good and bad) so I can improve my photography and myself.

Hello, I'm still fairly new to this, I appreciate I still have a way to go before I call myself a professional but I've been lucky enough to have photographed 4 weddings this year. I have uploaded a handful of photos for each wedding to my portfolio and was wondering if I could have a few...

Hi all, I've been learning photography for almost 2 years now. I've shot 4 weddings as well as a few christenings, among other things with good results. I actually own a Nikon D7100 but that's in for repair (Liveview and Playback are unavailable) so for the last 2 weddings, I've had to use my...

I was using my D7100 and off camera flash last night in the garden without any issue. Today I was travelling to the beach with my dad in his car, I thought I would get out the camera while he was driving and take a few photos. After taking the first photo, I noticed something was wrong. When I...

I own a Nikon D7100 with two speedlites; the Nikon SB-700 and Yongnuo YN-568EX. For playing around with off-camera flash, I put my SB700 to remote mode, and trigger it with my pop-up flash with Aokatec A-N1 IR Panel (which allows only Infra-Red Light through from the pop-up flash). This...

Hello, I'm doing my first engagement shoot this Sunday and the couple has selected a town (Cromer, Norfolk, UK) close to the beach. I plan to shoot in the evening time, a couple of hours before sunset. I'll be under-exposing the background by about a stop and using a shoot-through off-camera...

I'm doing my first model portrait shoot in the woods in a week or two time during the evening (an hour or two before sunset we planned) I was wondering if people could give me some tips? I've never shot a model before, she knows I am inexperienced and no money will be exchanged. I'd like help on...

I was taking some candid shots of some of my siblings and decided to make these black and white. I would like critiques on all 3 if possible. Did I do a good job? or do they look bad? I welcome all comments positive and negative. EDIT:

Almost a year and a half ago, I knew nothing about Photography. I'm a practicing photographer, i'm by no means a professional and I have a lot to learn. I shot my first wedding in February this year and I've recently shot my second wedding. Both couples knew I am not a professional but responded...

Hello, Not sure if I am allowed to post a link to my portfolio so if I am not, I apologise. I did read the rules and it says if I have a set of images, to post a text link. I photographed a small, low scale wedding last week and would like critiques on the photos. I'm a practising photographer...

Can Rear Curtain Sync (Second) Cause Portraits To Be Soft? I photographed a wedding yesterday and for half the time, I used my 50mm 1.8G @ f1.8 - 2.2. I used rear Curtain sync TTL for my sb700 and bounced off the ceiling. I was about 10ft or so away from my subjects. A lot of the photos have...

If you're shooting a portrait outdoors and you exposure for the background, the subject will be in shadow. If you want to fill in this shadow with fill flash, what would you use and why out of these TWO options: Option 1) On-camera bare flash pointed at subject on a weak flash setting Option...

I've been learning photography for about a year now. I have a Gary Fong Lightsphere Collapsible with Amber and Chrome Dome to use with my SB-700. It's my understanding that it's great if you're indoors because it spreads light in all directions which would then bounce around the room and back...

One year ago, I knew nothing about Photography and I have been teaching myself ever since. I've been asked to photograph a low key wedding at a registry office on 31st January. It will consist of the bride, the groom and 2 friends. I haven't done a wedding before, they know I am inexperienced...

Hello all, I'm new to the critique forum. I have been learning photography as a hobby for almost a year now. I took a series of photos of my sister a couple of weeks ago which I would like feedback on. Say anything you like, positive or negative, I just want honesty so I can improve my...

Hello, I unmounted my Tamron 70-300mm from my Nikon D5100 DSLR to put on my 16-85mm (which I purchased used from cameraworld.co.uk a little over a year ago) and it appears broken. I do not know how this has happened, I always take good care of my gear and this has not been dropped. The two...

Hello, I am new to this forum and have a question about the histogram and how dark/light a photo is on a screen. I'm still learning photography and the two photo I attached I took about 6 months ago. I have done some processing within Lightroom 4 to brighten it up a bit. It actually looks good...
