Recent Swimsuit shoot

So this was my first swimsuit photo shoot. The weather wasn't the best and in Oregon our sand is gray.. so with that.. and several suit changes.. these were a few of my favorites. Please by all means, as always.. good and Bad comments. Only way I'll learn. Guess I can only post one pic per thread... huh

So I guess I will submitt through my own replies.

This is the last one.. since they are larger than I expected on here. I used a Nikon D90 and the day time shots were done between 2pm and 4pm. Night time shot was done with the same camera, however; I used an off camera flash system.

Welcome to dgrin! It is possible to post multiple pics in one post-- just keep clicking that insert image button.

Nice effort on your swimwear pics. First one could use a longer shutter speed to get more ambient light. Shoot some test shots and play with your ISO and aperture to get a nice balance.

One more tip -- find a couple of swimwear photos you really like and try to emulate them. Your results will turn out different and you'll learn plenty in the process. There's lots of great opportunities for shooting swimwear on the Oregon coast -- welcome!

I like them. I'd just seriously consider touching up her skin (on her legs). Doesn't look smooth, and I'm sure she'd appreciate the touch-up

Nice photos, keep them coming!

Hmmm, not talking about the goosebumps (don't see those). The skin on HER right leg looks just very uneven (like she's have tiger lines). It's hard to explain, and I guess most women have them (unless you work out 4h /7 days a week), it just doesn't look very flattering

yeah took a close look at her legs and Im not seeing it. Sooo I went to another photo for a better look.. don't see anything in this one.. lighting maybe??

The problems with the legs are on the first image. The skin looks rough & uneven. The angle of the light hitting both legs accentuates the unevenness. It was the first thing that caught my eye, and distracts from an otherwise nice shot.

Awww ok.. Ding (light comes on..) Yeah I see that. Good call. I looked and looked.. and was like..I'm not seeing it.. now I do. Thank you very much. I'll keep that in mind for the next shoot.
