Today's studio shoot!

[Kris]

Are we able to put a few photos in here Gary?

EDIT: That's it. I'm posting a few! Of course, no PP here! Get it right IN THE CAMERA as Gary says... Naturally they can be improved with light PP/Cropping. Thanks so much do Benadicta! she's fantastic!

[Alpha_7]

I can't wait to see them.

[michael_]

already home kris? finished early?

i had a great time not only meeting everyone but learning stuff which i thought was a little scary, i cant wait to order the same gear now

[Kris]

Indeed! Finished at 3, I couldnt wait to go home and see the results! It was great to meet everyone and thanks so much to everyone involved. These days are very very rewarding

[Sandy Feet]

What a fantastic day, thanks to everyone involved in the setting up/organisation.

Here is a quicky, minimal PP

[Geoff]

Bloody fantastic day! Thanks to Gary and the wonderful Benedicta, who is now attending the dinner tonight here's a few of my first ones...

[michael_]

Geoff say thanks to your wife?fiancee? for encouraging you to pick up another women ;P Benedicta was so photogenic i hope she comes to another session or i atleast get to shoot her again sometime.

[Kris]

Benedicta was fun, confident and very easy going - it was a joy to photograph her!

[dviv]

Couple more: (sharpen only - no other PP)

[Geoff]

Here's yet another one (this will be the Benedica thread me thinks)...of her taken with a non conventional portrait lens (Gary's 10-20 SIGMA)..I quite liked the angle and slight distortion. Thoughts?

[Kris]

Distortion Geoff? naaa you can barely notice it

[Yi-P]

Argh, I think I missed out A LOT today!!!

These are very very good results, keep on it guys!

Here are a couple of my faves from the day

[Geoff]

Kyle - wow mate! 2 and 3 are outstanding.

Thanks

All I did was a slight WB adjust and a very minimal usm after resize.

[marcotrov]

#1 #2 and #4 are great Kris. Exposure and sharpness are spot on.
cheers
marco

[Kris]

Thanks marco! #3 makes me laugh!

[Reschsmooth]

Here are mine from what was a fantastic day - Gary's education was invaluable, and we were truly lucky to have Benedicta as a patient and beautiful model. It was also good to meet new faces.







And this one being an attempt at Gary's suggested multiple exposure.

Cheers

[Geoff]

Nice ones Pat! U're getting better every time u post

[Reschsmooth]

Thanks Geoff - I think everyone took amazing photos yesterday - it helps having a model like Benedicta and a teacher like Gary.

Here's a B&W conversion

[daniel_r]

Looks like the portraiture workshop produced some really great results!

Great work all!

[stubbsy]

Rather than single any one out I just want to say there are great images here from all who've posted which I guess shows the strength of the day and the beauty of the model (and perhaps some talented photographers too )

Edit: Damn you Kris. I keep going back and looking at your second shot. There is something wonderful about the composition and your expsoure etc that really make that image a sublime photo. So I've just done what I said I wouldn't do!

[Kris]

hahaha Peter!!

Thank you so much for your comments! My first attempt so your comments mean alot to me!

[Poon]

[seeto.centric]
