Sungai Gabai with Joey - Natural Light

March 29th, 2007 by ShaolinTiger at 2:55 AM MYT - 10,299 views

This is the second set, with more natural light (and some help from a reflector to soften the shadows, wish I had a diffuser with me though), I hate having to rely on flash and I think these pictures came out much better.

More to come soon, just got back from Jakarta this evening so tired and busy!

Kawaiii!!

Kawai

Longing

Sunny Days

Searching

Dreaming

Do feel free to give any comments or criticism you might have! Cheers..

Love "Kawaii" and "Dreaming". In "Dreaming" a water sprite comes to mind.

Would be interesting to see how the water would look like in the "Dreaming" shot if you lowered the shutter speed. Nice pics mate, really enjoying them.

First and last shots rock.

First one coz the expression is, as the name says, cute. And the last one, the colour and the time-frozen water looks really nice.

I think putting reflector further will make the light more natural. D70/D70s come with 1/500s flash sync, it does a great job in such conditions.

Joey skin tone are a bit pink. The CSM portrait color tone setting should fix this problem.

katsmew: Yeah I purposely color-toned it for that kind of feeling.

meekiee: Yah, always straight not boring leh?

Mark: Yah, I tried some like that..but it ended up I preferred the water crystal clear and sharp with the sun sparkling off it.

kris: Yeah she's quite new and the water was very cold hehe, she did pretty well though I think.

James: Ahaha no I'm afraid not.

kianbung: Thanks, I really like those two aswell.

moo_t: I like the effect of focused light though, it gives more subject isolation. I'm not sure how the flash sync speed is relevant here...as I wasn't even using flash For the colour of her skin, it's natural..I think perhaps your monitor needs calibrating? Time to buy a Spyder!

uncle sha: Hahah, yeah I'm sure that's what you mean!

oh no here comes auntie: No, cannot speak engrish wor.

Dan Masq & ahkwong: Thanks!

brad: I bet you get a lot of girls with that charming language

The lighting in your second shot is fantastic - i assume you've got some big-ass reflector.

Generally, I find that female portraits always look nicer with soft lighting - just like in this shot.

Joey's poses are a bit stiff, though - were there like a hundred of you guys snapping her at once? Surely would make her nervous.

I also find that its better if you have a one-on-one shoot (assuming that this was a group thing), because you get to talk to the model and get her to relax, and to instruct her more naturally.

Unless of course she can't speak English (as you've noted), in which case... FIRE AWAY

yitweng: Sure keep up with announcements in Shutter Asia and see what you're free to join.

Chris Chong: Thanks, catchlights ftw! Yeah reflector is pretty big, and extremely useful! Her poses are quite stiff, she's quite new to this I think, and the water was cold which didn't help. I agree with what you say..but language is a barrier in this case. There was 6 of us, not that many.
