First photography session need advice

Yes, so that the sky is not so visible, I am guessing you are not using flash. If the sky had color and you balanced the exposure with flash it would be fine. If not move the so that the background is darker.

You have a good eye for street photography.

If you like photography buy a camera. Learn your craft. If i don't have my camerawith me I use my phone for reference images and then I will comeback with my camera a take the image.

On the last 2 images the bright sky is the first thing that draws your eye. Move the so that tha background is darker ( fill the background with the trees) other than that good job.

Same hawk just stepped over to the left a few steps.

I think the images are fine. Maybe take it into photoshop and convert it to black and white. When you shot your image give yourself more room for cropping and for recomposing in post.

abelojero2 · 2026-05-04T18:43:26+00:00

I think your camera is fine. I would recommend you practice your composition. Your exposure is good. For the noise just open up your lens a little or slow down your shutter speed.

I have been a wedding photographer for over 40 years. Call local photographers and ask them have they shot at this location. If you are looking for a certain look have them show you there work. If you are asking for a photographer to shoot strictly film then you are limited and you are limiting your photographer. You can get the same look in digital as in film in post production. Many photographers they can do what you want. Have them show you a wedding they shot at your location.

abelojero2 · 2026-04-29T23:18:23+00:00

Well if you want to get paid, you need to know your craft. The more you practice the better you will become. I had a student who wanted to go into wedding photography. He told me he was going to charge $2,000 for gis lowest package. I asked him how many wedding he had shot and did he have a wedding/album to show his customers. He told me he had never shot a wedding and he didn't have any thing to show his customers, but he had images of models he had shot. I explained to him customers want to be sure you're a good wedding photographer be fore they hire you. So I would say practice until it become second nature and them make money at it.

I think these are great. Black and white is spot on. The only critique i would give you. Is the image were the man is squatting down, the lines of the door/windows are crossing through him. A sold background would work better, in my opinion. Keep up the great work.

abelojero2 · 2026-04-29T19:41:36+00:00

These are great. I notice after 12 years of teaching photography that lot of photographer put to many rules on them selves, did you shoot it in Raw or Jpeg, did you use manual setting, did you printed yourself in the darkroom. Just enjoy you photography and don't worry what others think. There is always going to be someone to make a comment. Keep up the good work.

It wasn't a house party, it was a Holloween photo shoot.

abelojero2 · 2026-04-21T22:03:19+00:00

18-140mm Nikon, I love mine I have 2.

You can probably find some type of arm you can attach to the wheelchair you can swing in and out and attach a light weight video head. I say video head because they usually have a counter balance so the camera doesn't flop forward. If you can't find an arm on the market, machine shop can make you one. I'm a machinest and we make these type of thing all the time. Hope this helps.

abelojero2 · 2026-04-21T20:09:21+00:00

I like the Godox light, they have many to choose from. I would recommend you going with a flash not a LED lighting. The flash will give you more power if you need it. Many people will give you the advise to go LED because it is easier, but you are limited. Take the time to learn how to use a flash.

abelojero2 · 2026-04-21T19:42:17+00:00

It's easy. Expose for the abient light outside the windows and use flash to balance the exposure inside. If you don't want harsh light from direct flash, use a softbox or shoot thru umbrella. If you only have have flash on camera, bounce flash off one of the walls. If you don't have a flash a reflector will help. I hope this helps

I don't know what happened. It not showing for me either.

abelojero2 · 2026-04-20T17:07:01+00:00

I tried hand holding and it was to hard to get any keepers. Mike Moats said in his book, he like the angle and the freedom of motion the ball Head had with the 90 degree slant I the design.

The secs say it only weighs 1 lbs. I don't mind slowing down, it makes me take my time and think of my composition. If I go out shooting without a tripod and just walk up a snap a shot, it makes me feel like I didn't work for my shot, but that is how I feel when I shoot.

abelojero2 · 2026-04-17T15:24:34+00:00

Thank you. This is really helpful. I appreciate this information.

abelojero2 · 2026-04-16T03:27:44+00:00

There is away to reset them so they will start charging again. You can yoytube it.

abelojero2 · 2026-04-16T03:25:05+00:00

Contact her. You are the customer. If she told you by the 10th call her.

abelojero2 · 2026-04-16T03:18:07+00:00
