Selfie and my second half

Foques

Hi all.

I can't seem to get the color right on these.. Lady and I went out to the park the other night to grab a couple of shots - we barely have any of us.

thoughts?
what color adjustment should I apply on the first two?

Foques

no good, eh?

Hey Foques,

Those are nice shots, on the st1 and 2nd the blue channels looks a little up but not sure I'm looking in my uncalibrated office monitor.

I really like the 3rd and 4th picture, did you use a flash behind the subjects.

Regards.

Hey Marcelo.
thank you for checking them out. I did think that they were a wee too cold, but wanted to check with the rest of the crew. Being color blind, it is a pain to get colors right..

Yes, I did use two flashes - AB in an octabox on the front, and a bare ab turned all the way down behind myself and second half.

Agree on the blue and exposure is a little hot for my liking but if that was your aim ok.

3 is just great !

Agree, too much blue - no warmth in the skin tone. Also, on my calibrated monitor it's a bit too hot - about 1 stop in fact. It could make it easier to get the right skin tone if you reduce the exposure...

Either way nice photos and cool background bokeh...

Foques

thank you all! i'll correct exposures asap. Looks like I really, REALLY need to recalibrate my screen - first two images look nearly underexposed on my imac
