People and Portraits - Samples

Having been looking at locations, although the weather conditions were not brilliant, I wanted to get out with my camera and experiment. I took a number of images and have not done (with the exception of the B&W image) any real post production work on them.

I am now starting to build my portfolio of images, from which I will decide what Photos to publish. Here are a few samples below.....

 ISO 200: F4.5 1/30: Lens 18-55mm

 ISO 200: F4.5: 1/80: Lens 18-55mm

 ISO 200: F4.5: 1/80: Lens 18-55mm

 ISO 200: F4.5: 1/250: Lens 18-55mm

These images were taken during the morning and early afternoon on an industrial estate in Lichfield. Timing was everything, as we needed to make sure that traffic was at a minimum and that the areas were safe. So, no traffic, or delivery vehicles etc, giving us cause for concern.

When taking the photos however, I did have one person just checking to make sure that no cars were coming.

On Saturday I purchased a 5 in 1 reflector kit, to enable me to use natural light to enhance images. I have used this on a couple of photos, to get rid of unnecessary shadow. However, I also realise that when doing this you now need three arms, or extra people to assist.

We made sure that there were no obstacles or trip hazards and that the area was clean from relevant debris.
