ISO : 160-200

Model : Leya
ISO : 125
Metering ; Center-weighted
Mode : Aperture Priority f/2.8
Shutter speed 1/250"
WB= AUTO

















as this is my first try, please comments.. :)

thanks

Very nice for a first time! Especially the second model shots. Check if your camera is on spot metering because it almost seems like it metered off the black outfit and overexposed? There's also a tendency to compose so that there is a bit more empty space above the model's head.

So if I fly there can I join your camera club? LOL ;)

3. Include as much info as possible along with your image:
  • EXIF data

Nice. Maybe i would suggest straightening the pic...
And i find something a little weird about the colors... Not sure if it's your white balance or your saturation
I can see some green on her face too
