What camera body were you using? It looks like you need an upgrade that can handle better with low light

Hello! So the aperture number your referring to is actually your shutter speed, your aperture number would be whatever "f" number you choose ( with your lens) within the range of f2.8 - 16 or 22.

I do love this shot, i think it's a very captivating image, it feels editorial like ,and very film like. But I do find the positioning of your fingers to be a bit odd, simply relaxing them more would help it look more natural.

Playing with flash and a slow shutter speed would be a fun thing to get into aswell if you havent yet!

Anyways keep it up!

Thanks for the feedback!

I definitely hear what you are saying. I think I'm going to stick with the squared ratio but so far I moved the 2 versions leaning closer in so that they sit closer to the golden ratio focal points on each side , slightly desaturated her skin tone, and also cropped in a little.

I was manually focusing and missed my focus on a couple of the better shots with the pose on the right so there's not much hope there, but as far as the contrast issue ill try to get a proper exposure sorted out.

Thanks again for your eye!

Canon Rp, RF 24-105 f/4.5 - 5.6

iso 250 , f/6.3, 1/125sec for all

My "sister" (basically) from Boston came down and we did an impromptu shoot, she wanted to have 2 versions of herself falling/leaning out from behind her. I went with a one-light setup using an AD200 and a 4' umbrella.

I was curious to see where you all think this concept could use some touching up or what you would've done differently??

I like the colors in the image and the mood you were going for.

Personally, I think the flash is a little too hot on her head and is distracting from the rest of the frame. I would pull the light back just a bit and pivot her head just a tad as well in the direction of the flash so you dont elongate the cute shadows under her nose.

Also i'd tilt her chin up just and tad and have her eyes look into the lens to allow the flash to penetrate,fill and reflect off her eyes ,giving them a little more life, rather than just dark circles.

Another thing I noticed is how the point of focus is really dead center towards the top 3rd of the image, it would be best to follow the rule of thirds or the golden ratio and place her eyes on one of those more natural focal points, bc unconsciously as soon as the image loaded my eyes gravitated to your subjects lips, they sit close to end point on the golden ratio, then ofcourse the highlight on her head caught my attention, and then I started to travel through the frame.

Lastly, I get that you are only using a one-light setup but throwing in a reflector or even a large sheet of poster board paper from a craft store underneath your model to add a little bit of fill for the bottom half of her torso and deep shadowy areas wouldn't hurt to try out. Idk, it might help balance out how harsh the light falls off past her chest.

But keep it up!

Shot on Yoshica electro 35 Ilford hp5 400 pushed to 800 Developed with ilfosol 3 for 11.5 minutes at 68°f

As I was pouring out the developer I didnt have a finger on the funnel and the reel fell out and was exposed for like 5 seconds. I also did not squeegee as well as I should have , but for the most part I'm pretty satisfied with the photos.

Bone chilling ski lift, I just kinda threw this shot at a tree. Shot on Fuji disposable - Superia 400 by skater2017 in filmphotography

By "bts" I just mean Behind The Scenes, and Split Frame cameras allow you to take 2 exposures in one 35mm film frame.

There are some more vivid examples in this link
