Sepia Tone Loving

ErikAllas

Been a while since I posted on this website. Thought I would try to get some critiques on a recent walk/photo outing. All images shot w/20D, Sigma 18-50 F2.8 and 430EX w/diffuser.

1.

More of a go stand in the tree's and I'll snap some photo's shot.

2.


3.

I wanted to get more of the waterfall in the background but the shading and lighting was all wonky.

4.

Was thinking more along the lines of Blair Witch Project when I took this last one. I stepped in front of her to sorta startle her, I think she was more annoyed I wouldn't get out of her way.

I posted the method of PP on my site if you want to read about it.

Thanks for looking!

Sorry, these are not doing anything for me. The background in the first two is way too distracting and focus is soft in all of them. I really do not think the sepia lends itself well for these shots. Just my personal opinion, others may disagree.

I would also add that I can't see any BWP here, sorry...

I also agree, the sepia doesn't seem like it fits for the series. Also, none of them are sharp the second one is kinda... Definitely see camera shake. If you were using a flash, try bumping up the shutter speed a bit next time. And with the 2.8 you shouldn't have any issues with shutter speed during the day time.
