Why do you care, really.... Just get to work and post some yourself.

Im guilty of doing the same (I lack patience).. But he's right, you should try and hold off posting until you have a decent sized batch. Having said that i would rather people make a new post for every image, than not post at all. Sometimes this place is dead.

Edit:

I like the levi portrait btw, looking forward to seeing what you do with some kickers!

@Ksanti: Same girl different shoots. To be honest I don't think you should be discouraging people from posting images, multiples, singles whenever, however. This is the photography section of the forum and I'm posting on a dedicated thread, not making multiple threads.

However, I understand where you are coming from...

Ksanti · 19 Jan 2013 at 18:00

Okay well different shoots is a different matter, but when pages of images are of separate posts by one person from seemingly the same set then it gets a little irritating. I'd rather see one massive post from you with all of them in than every time I check this People thread to find 80% of the new posts are from the same photographer with the same girl.

ElDude · 19 Jan 2013 at 18:59

So you'd rather a photographer not post their photos in the photo section because no one else is posting anything?

Odd way to think

Ksanti · 19 Jan 2013 at 19:12

I'm saying wait until you've done them all - I'm quite active on these forums but it gets a bit tiresome thinking "ooh, there's new stuff in the portraits thread... Oh wait it's just more of this.". Get everything processed as a set then put them up together rather than bump bump bump bump bump.

ElDude · 19 Jan 2013 at 19:23

Personally I think the exact opposite way. I'd rather them be posted every now and again, bumping the thread than have a wall of photos. For example the wedding thread that was posted recently had far too many photos posted for my tastes. I'm not saying they were rubbish, it's just a bit much when someone comes along and posts 30+ photos in one go.

Post them as you want to, it shouldn't matter if we like 30+ being posted or 1 every hour.

Just as well mate. Perhaps it might be a good idea to post some pics instead of derailing the thread more.

If it's in a separate thread I don't care if it's 1 or 1000, it's when it's going from page to page of a shared communal thread that it gets irritating - somebody might post up their photos and then immediately have it swallowed by 20 posts from the same shoot, so nobody sees his photos.

More boobs needed. Simples.

Fair point...I was put off posting on forums for ages because I hate futile arguments.

I understand what you are saying and I will be more mindful.... no problem..

...all the best

As to get the thread back on track, I like this shot... I'm really starting to like the look of leather jackets and its texture in photographs.... it also has the sheen that reflects the light...

Wish I would have reduced the aperture slightly.

Its all natural light only for that shot as I didn't have my flash with me (thats meeeee! Scary I know), although I don't think it needed a fill flash as the light was diffused nicely anyway. Was taken right before golden hour and was at the mouth of a woodland, so the light was nice and diffused. Not sure how you'd do that with a studio environment in a confined space, unless you've got access to some rather large soft boxes?

They really do work well in Black and White:

-|ScottFree|- · 20 Jan 2013 at 01:39

^ Agreed, black and white adds to the texture.. Ill have to play with some more portraiture outside.

From a recent E-shoot

An Exception · 20 Jan 2013 at 13:43

Framing/Composition doesn't quite sit right, I think you should have taken a step or two back as not to chop off the guy's back. Alternatively you could have framed it horizontally.
Instead of getting him looking off to the distance (it feels like he's disconnected a bit), maybe try getting him to look down a little?
Other than that, it's got a nice feel.

One from an E-shoot.

Oh I am sorry sir, I didn't realise I wasn't allowed to post in the thread. My mistake :rolleyes:
