That's a good idea. Clearly the reason his pictures are good is 100% because of the gear he uses, and if you just use the same gear he does, you'll take the same quality shots.

Also 19.99 the biggest problem with the outdoor shots is that your model looks out of place and uncomfortable there.

The 5D's resolution isn't that impressive, *just* twelve megapixels. Resolution won't do shit for appreciating it here.

What it does deliver over and above the average PS-C camera is tonality, low noise, etc., other image quality characteristics you can see at any size. Plus, these are all at ISO 100 or even 50. Even cameras with small sensors do well at those speeds.

TL;DR the 5D delivers great image quality, but a 100% crop of the original files of the images $19.99 posted here will do shit all for appreciating it more.

Her facial expression looks a little forced and her hands don't seem to be resting naturally. Look at the shadows it looks like her left hand isn't even resting on her thigh.

>>300504

The smile seems to be missing some of the charm of 300499. The lighting on her face is a little harsh.

>>300505

Face might be a touch dark, but otherwise good.

>>300507

When she smiles she also closes her eyes just a little bit and it just looks gorgeous. In this photo, she is definitely still attractive but doesn't seem to be conveying much emotion.

You're right about the 85mm 1.8, but I don't have the money for the 24 1.4 or the 24-70mm 2.8, I used the cheapo $160 24mm 2.8 on these.

>>300779
>a 100% crop from the face area, to see what a 5D is really able to deliver?
I'm not sure it's so much the camera that delivers the sharpness, it's probably just because the 85mm 1.8 is stupidly awesome. But it's not really *that* sharp Mr. Pixel Peeper. I was shooting wide open on the lens too.

Oh, not at all, the 85 is way sharper. Not that the 24 is soft though (as you can see in>>300500). The 85 is much sharper than any of the L zooms i've compared it with. I havn't gotten a chance to try any L primes though.

I dunno, I wasn't really trying to create "art" just nice pictures of a person. I'm still learning, I don't know if people remember when i first started posting to /p/, but those kinda really sucked.

Pic related, a photo of the same girl in the first week I got my dslr.

it's generally assumed that no-one on here is perfect at photography, (even just held up to technical and compositional standards)
adding in artistic taste or emotional appeal or any other criteria and you would guarantee nothing on here is acceptable.
However, its really easy to be critical of someone elses work, and takes far less skill to point out what you consider errors.

Because of this its easy to criticize and often happens, when the criticism is not constructive it gives the impression that anonymous dislikes it so much that it shouldn't even be considered "decent"

This is ok for crappy pictures, but for otherwise good shots its treated as sort of an attack.

Having pictures to prove you have some photographic talent or merit, to put down these pictures, helps us to believe you are not just a flamer.

These are good for what they are, but at least for me here's-a-pretty-person shots aren't much more interesting than here's-a-pretty-flower shots.

You've definitely got the skills to do more (if you want to, of course, which you should) and are are working a simple 24/85 kit? That'll teach you really fast, and you seem to be good already with both focal lengths.

I prefer the serious face over the stock photo esque expression on the other, it's just missing a asian or african kid.

He used all natural light, except for

>>300504

in which he used a bare flash, camera left

Lenses used were the following:

85mm 1.8

and for the wider shots he used a 24mm 2.8, since he doesn't have the money for something like the 24 1.4 or the 24-70mm 2.8.

Creepy huh Mr.Valdes or whatever you call yourself.

I would love to get into shooting real portraits but I can't even get started it seems. I've literally never shot people before ever but none of my friends or family will let me practice on them and I definitely would not want to hire/recruit a stranger and then have no fucking clue what I'm doing. I'm just stuck reading and examining other's pictures for now. : ( If only I could clone myself... I like having my picture taken. Maybe once I get the remote for my D70 I can try some self portraits...

I have some trouble with your logic, does anyone ask an art or film critic to put up their own work that's better? Unless you're Uwe Bowle, I think not. Point is, you don't have to be a master of the art to actually know whats good and what isn't, you just need to understand it.

In regards to OP, while I wouldn't say the pictures are amazing, they are pretty good.(I promise I don't mean that negatively) My only problem is how unnatural the girl looks in some shots and her nose ring, though the latter is purely personal taste.
