[QUOTE="dukatum, post: 293455, member: 23829"] Just out of interest why did you use the D4 over your D800 or D7000? I own the 7000 but never used a D4 or D800 so not really sure what benefits it might offer. I really hope you take this as constructive and not offensive, but have you done any PP on the [COLOR=#333333]catalog style shots? The reason I ask is that it looks like the metering/flash was not set up to bring out the details in her clothing, which I'm assuming would be the product in this [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]catalog style shoot (after all, you're not selling the girl right?....) The top looks black above, but put it in an image editor and crank up the exposure around the top and it turns navy blue with an interesting weave/texture to it that really adds nicely to the picture you've created. Then take off the red colour-cast with a curves change on the red channel to turn the pinkish walls white or even 'cold' (slight blue) to match her clothes of a big warm blue jumper that she wears. I won't post a pic as I can see you've choosen to not let people edit your pictures, but the details I describe above are certainly there, even taking a screenshot and editing them reveals this amazing amount of details in her black clothes that it makes you want to hug her warm cozzy top. Your choice in location is amazing, I hope you have good access to that place as it could provide you with so many options for shooting different styles, the windows look interesting and could be used at various times of day to add different styles and techniques. You could maybe adding a white sheet over some to defuse light if you wanted software ambient light. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
