PRINT GIVEAWAY!!
I went on a photoshoot with my lovely sister yesterday :) I must say, it was the most successful photoshoot I've ever done because the lighting was incredible. It doesn't hurt that Willow is gorgeous, and very good at modeling ;) She looks so comfortable with a guitar in her hands. I can totally see her on an album cover. . .the next Taylor Swift perhaps?
Now, I really, really want feedback on these. I tried out some new things and want your opinions. So, as a little motivation, I'm doing a print giveaway :D Here's what you have to do.
Rate each one of these on a scale of 1 - 10, and tell me why you like/dislike it. Then pick 3 of my pictures that you would like to receive. (look in the archives and tell me the date of the post, then give a description of the picture. I'll know which ones you mean.) Tell me why you like them. It's that simple! I'll put the names in a hat and pick 5 winners. You do not have to be a contact of mine to enter! It's open to anyone :)
This is what it will look like:
1) 5/10 - I like this because. . . but I think it could use improvement in these areas. . .
2) 8/10 - I love this because. . .
3) 1/10 - I hate this because. . .
etc. etc. etc.
Thank you ahead of time for doing this ;)
Some of the colours look a little off on flickr :( Oh well. They look different on different monitors too.
Completely natural lighting in all of these. Editing done with GIMP and Photoshop Elements 9. All taken with a 50mm f/1.8.

Those are all so beautiful. In so many ways. My favorites: 3, 14, & 15.
ReplyDeleteI love the song, your beautiful mind by Kevin max.
#4 is my fav because the composition is great - the diagonal of the subtle path in the grass is echoed by the neck of the guitar.
ReplyDelete#6 is great too with the compelling upward gaze of your sister's eyes.
All your photos are fantastic, so if I get a chance to be a winner I'll jump for joy !
1. 5/10 because it seems almost too washed out, and like the focus is more on the lighting than Willow, but it is still a good shot. Per your usual.
ReplyDelete2. 6/10 better than the last one, but it seems a little forced, not very natural.
3. 8/10 Lovely shot. Not the very best in my personal opinion, but still lovely.
4. 9/10 This one's purty. Maybe it could've been cropped a teeny bit better, but it looks amazing, like the sort of picture you'd find on a lyric sheet.
5. 5/10 This one is lacking a pit, dunno why I don't like it as much as some of the others, 'cause it's not a bad picture...
6. 10/10 If I could rate this one 11/10, I would. It's perfect!
7. 10/10 'Tis just lovely.
8. 10/10 Willow is so beautiful...
9. 6/10 This one just seems like it could be better.
10. 8/10 I just like it.
11. 4/10 Seems like you were aiming for something here, but didn't quite reach it...
12. 5/10 Same as above, but a little better.
13. 8/10 Looks like a scene out of something like Anne of Green Gables but with a guitar thrown in. :D
14. 5/10 Looks like a not as good version of #8.
15. 8/10 Similar feel to #13. Love it!
16. 10/10 Her expression, the flower in the foreground, everything about this one is so pretty.
As for pictures I'd like to win, um... Can I have some time to consider this? Haha, your photography is amazing!!
Love ya!
