Girlfriend's Gradution Shots

p27rpy

Hey all,

I took a few photos for my girlfriend on campus before her graduation on Friday. She wanted one riding the Shasta (the cougar) and then a few others just to have.

I usually concentrate on automotive photography, so I was a bit lost on what to do with portraits. So I just shot away and hoped to have a few come out nicely. I am wanting to explore portrait photography and wedding photography more, so I definitely need to improve with shooting people. These are a few of my favorites from the set. I would love some CC, as it would only help me to improve.

Some info to help with the CC:

With the limited time we had before we had to get to graduation (about 20 minutes!), I only was able to shoot with natural light and no tripod. I shot with a D700 with a 105mm f/2.8 VR.







This one was a bit overexposed for my liking, but I thought it might still be salvageable.

Really like 1 & 2. The fountain in # 3 is a good bit distracting.

That's some really nice light on her face for not having any fill.

Really liking #1
The skin tones are a bit off as well as on the last one a bit blown out
