Reply To: Here Goes Nothing… Critique (+ Intro)

Many thanks, Rizzo. 🙂 I appreciate the words. If you do have the opportunity to look more in depth, I’d really value that too. I see what you mean when you mention the shadows, but for the most part I didn’t see anything ‘wrong’ with them (not saying that they couldn’t be improved upon, of course), so I appreciate the experienced eye to provide feedback on those sorts of things. Of course, as we are all learning, I suppose the next step I should take comes down to practice, practice, practice, and making sure I can get the basis of things right.

 

II see what you meant with the shadows on the graduation. I was trying to fill them without being tacky about it, but tougher than I thought it would be for me with a single on-camera flash in broad daylight. Some, as you can see, were definitely done better than the others, but it was definitely more hit and miss than I would have liked…live and learn, I suppose. Need to find some sort of middle ground where I can retain some run-and-gun maneuverability without sacrificing quality, but that’s just me rambling. Thanks once again for your advice; I’d love to hear anything you and anyone else has to say. 🙂
