That's excellent. Looks like it could have been taken in the 50s or something, unless there's some tell with the bokeh or whatever that I'm not aware of. This one has a perspective thing with a sparkler that I thought turned out good:

I don't know if you're seeing what I'm seeing, but it looks to me like there's a faint grid pattern all over the image. Usually that isn't from the scan itself, but an artifact from the scaling algorithms when you turn a big scan into a little web-size picture. It's particularly likely when you have an image with a large amount of slight random variation (e.g. film grain), and it's surprisingly hard to avoid. The easy ways to avoid it are to fuss around with your resizing algorithms (using different algorithms in small steps seems to help), apply a little grain-softening blur to the full-size scan, or just take a low-res scan from the start.

Thanks - I'll go back and play with the tiff and see if I can't remedy it.

It's particularly likely when you have an image with a large amount of slight random variation (e.g. film grain), and it's surprisingly hard to avoid. I have avoided this problem entirely by only resizing in integer divisions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4).

*sets up lights* *adjusts stools* *puts a fill card in* *sets up backdrop* *brings in subject* ....  Johnene by francography, on FlickrWelp  Sometimes the subject is just not having it no matter what you do. Hopefully we can do a retry soon. At least she can look back at these photos and see how stubborn she was. Heh.For reference: This is the same girl I shot years ago.  Johnene by francography, on FlickrWe wanted to continue the theme but just gotta get her in the right mood.

This is absolutely excellent. I got to shoot a friend who has invested in chinese lighting and a backdrop for her studio.  TestShoot-20 by sildargod, on FlickrI'm not sure about it. She's a big girl so finding any pose that was flattering was way more of a challenge than I had anticipated. Also the tones just don't work for me, but I can't find a simple fix that works throughout. Her face was very flushed in relation to the rest of her, so I'm at a loss.

somnambulist posted:*sets up lights* *adjusts stools* *puts a fill card in* *sets up backdrop* *brings in subject* Hahaha, I'd actually be happy to have that if I was paying for a portrait. I'd rather have a well captured moment of my kid being really real than a well captured moment of my kid doing something they weren't feeling, because it would all come out in the picture. sildargod posted:
She's very pretty. Would shooting with a focused, gel corrected flash at her face minimize the flushing color, maybe? I know and could potentially shoot a couple of people close to me who are varying degrees of sensitive about their weight. Is there a posing guide somewhere that I could get a few points from, if just to say "So do x, and it will look like y", to get them to chill out?

I got volunteered to take staff portraits for my IT department, to replace the current style which is basically mugshot with P&S against a white wall. I ended up with the task because I'm the one with a decent camera. I've got a Nikon D5100 with a 50/1.8 and 35/1.8, so my current thought is to find a spot in the middle of the room with some servers in the background and open up the lens wide to blur some LEDs in the background, because nothing says IT more than blurry LEDs. Any other suggestions to make this not awful (though it can't be more awful than what we have now?)

Any other suggestions to make this not awful (though it can't be more awful than what we have now?) If you can, try to find some kind of light source that you can set up to cast loop, rembrandt, etc. Use distance to balance the light on your subject and with background. It'll give your subject a bit of dimension and separate them from the background. I've used a desk lamp with a piece of paper to diffuse it for some quick portraits before. It worked out decently.
