re: Official Photography Thread. ♥

This is probably gonna sound really stupid but I feel the need to ask it anyway.

Is there any tips to shooting redheads? The couple I'm shooting are BOTH red heads...I guess like...anything I should keep in mind so that their hair is still vibrant but I don't wash out their faces.

Quoting Mel & a girl named Pey:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Mrs.Dani:</b>" Oh no I didn't mean professional, I meant did ... [snip!] ... window directly can be pretty harsh at times! Enough to blind me! I love the little pose he put himself in against the pole."

Yeah he was just playing on his mat and then moved and stuck his face on the pole so I snapped a couple before changing my settings and it got over-exposed, then he moved so I was left with that to work with.

Quoting Cheryle [TOG]:" One of my new backgrounds that I got yesterday. My son came with me to the studio and wanted me to take ... [snip!] ... the hats (the hats just arrived yesterday too) and choose the background. Some of you may have seen this already on Facebook. "

I saw it. But I didn't know it was a background haha. I thought he was on an actual bed. haha

Quoting Legendary Bonnie Beaver:" I saw it. But I didn't know it was a background haha. I thought he was on an actual bed. haha"

great! Then it's working how I want it to work

What are some of you ladies favorite couples poses?
How about ones for bigger couples?
I need some help, I'm getting really nervous about tomorrow. No idea why, I've been looking at stuff about couples photography for weeks  

So I have decided until I get my stamina back (bed rest has killed it!!!!) no outside moving around pictures anymore. I too some of Peyton outside and couldn't even mess with the settings much (couldn't really get on the group much either cuz it's soggy!). I don't even know if it could have looked better with different settings! Ahhh! I love pregnancy but I REALLY do despise bed rest!



Goofy kid did this muscle move allll on her own


Goofy kid got up in the lens. lol

Are there adapters to fit OM lenses on Digital SLR's? My mom bought me a 50mm 1.8 but it's an OM and I have an olympus E620.

Well, no pictures because Zaida got nursemaid elbow and we had to go to the clinic. She is fine now but boo.

What the hell is that?! lol

What's the best f stop for photographing couples that'll allow me to keep them in focus but still have nice bokeh in the background?

Basically a dislocated elbow

Depends on your focal length and distance from the subject.

I commonly shoot couples at f/2 or 2.2 unless I'm doing a looking at me face shot and then it's 3.5 or higher, depending how close I am to them.

I'll be using my 50mm 1.8. I might pull out my 35 but probably not.

I was thinking 2.8 so thanks!
