[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 224948, member: 17556"] Thanksgiving brings a lot of my family together every year. Typically they blow in and blow out like the wind so there is little time and absolutely no chance of setting up a small portrait area. Photos are taken on the fly and under much coaxing of the subjects to allow a photo. I guess we all have these type photo opportunities and make the best of them we can. My intent here was simply to capture the best image I can with my skill level, as quickly as possible given the fast paced circumstances of the opportunity and [I]compose and expose[/I] with as much "professionalism" as possible. What I would like critique on is how does this stack up in the ratings of a "great" or "awful" snapshot type portrait? What did I do wrong? What did I do right? How can I make a much better image next time? I am not thin skinned and want absolutely honest and frank comments. Here is what I think is the best of my photos of the event. Here is a link to another that I find almost, or of same quality, as the one posted for critique: [url=http://nikonites.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=32057&c=3&userid=17556#axzz2m0AQgnsx]Thanksgiving Family Event - Nikonites Gallery[/url] [B]EXIF Data:[/B] [B]Camera:[/B] D90 [B]Aperture:[/B] f/4 [B]Lens:[/B] Nikkor AF 35-105mm f3.5-5.6 [B]Focal Length:[/B] 58mm [B]Exposure Compensation:[/B] None [B]Flash:[/B] Sunpak PZ40X in manual mode at 1/2 power - Opteka mini soft box on flash bounced off ceiling [B]Shutter Speed:[/B] 1/60th [B]Camera Mode:[/B] Shutter priority [B]ISO: [/B]200 [B]White Balance:[/B] Flash [B]Post Processing:[/B] Levels, Unsharp Mask and Blur Tool [B]File Format:[/B] RAW [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]60849._xfImport[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
