Re: PESO: Family Christmas Portrait
Well done. Nice composition and good light. I might work on the color temperature and tint a bit. It has a wee bit of green cast.

Re: Family Christmas Portrait
You did well in regard to the direction and diffusion of the light. The color cast I mentioned in another post is probably due to bouncing off the mustard colored wall, if that is what you did. Using a piece of white posterboard or a studio umbrella on a stand as a reflector would avoid that. But I think you have a great photo here that would be enhanced by a slight color tweak.

Re: Family Christmas Portrait
Some excellent suggestions from Paul...You can get rid of the yellowish cast by adding some blue. On my monitor it also looks a little dark so I'd have to lighten it for my system - YMMV. Other options for single flash could include some sort of light modifier on the flash itself. Paul has shown some excellent work using both LumiQuest and LightSphere products. I've had some good luck going the cheap route using this - http://www.abetterbouncecard.com/ You can also check out David Ziser's blog - he's a quite successful photographer in the Cincinnati area and has some good tutorials. http://www.digitalprotalk.blogspot.com/ Nice family portrait - it's hard to get one with everyone's eyes open, especially when you're working with a little one. -p PN Stenquist wrote: You did well in regard to the direction and diffusion of the light.

Re: Family Christmas Portrait
Nice shot and a nice looking family! The lighting of your spouse and progeny looks good, but the light on you has that bounced-flash look. Assuming that you were using wireless flash, was the pop-up flash set to master (on) or controller (off)? It's the second-to-last item on the last screen of the K10D Custom menu. I've found that the combination of master mode and RAW produces the best results. Rick http://photo.net/photos/RickW --- On Sun, 11/30/08, Matthew Montgomery [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks all.
