that hair sucks

there is no connection

you turned her skin into mush

shes posed awkwardly

agreed, alittle too much airbrushing on her skin. alittle bit is to hide away blemishs or unwanted rinkles or something but why liquify her skin?

Will take note of that and be more careful on the processing.

Thanks.

she/he has crotch bulge ... shemale maybe?

Or it's a hairy one...

This kind of talk is not needed, nor it is constructive.

hmm. for a portrait, you really cant see much of her face. and sorry to say, its not quite her body or her clothes thats pleasing either if thats what you were going for.

fix her hair and brighten up her facial expression a bit. she looks like a robot.

im not even start on the terrible processing you did.

Thanks for the input, will do better the next time.

I know hardly anything about dslr's but I was given a nikon d70 a little while ago and still don't know hardly anything about how to use it. Didn't come with a user manual, but does anybody know of a good place to start? Shit to read? Good basic lenses to buy? I have an 18-70mm but really have literally no clue where to begin. Sorry for being camera newb

D70 + 18-70mm is a good beginner setup, add another 50mm f/1.8 (cheap) lens into it, you can cover portraits too.

Maybe you can try http://photo.net/ for a start, or http://www.flickr.com/ photography discussion groups.

Some shots from a test shoot with my friend Lenne.

noise is a bitch

excuse the scratch, it was on the film and nothing could be done.

same shit. 35mm manual camera, developed and enlarged.

First 2 photos color tone and feel are great!

Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite

i would if i had my own camera... want to make a suggestion?

I assume you are getting a new set, Canon 400D/450D/30D/40D, Nikon D80/D200/D300 are all good.

I wouldn't recommend Nikon D40/D60 series, cause they do not have inbuilt AF motor, which makes you lose AF function on non AF-S lens, where most prime lens now aren't AF-S, and mid end zoom lens.

But if you don't mind getting used, there's a lot of good deals.

Like Canon 20D/5D, Nikon D70/D200 are quite good deals now.

For the learning curve, I think just keep on practicing and trial and error.

Rather than buying a basic body and upgrade to another better body after awhile, may make a loss in selling and buying again.

Google and go down to reputable camera shops in your area and test out, afterall you are the one using.

My 2 cents.

and nice pics shiro, your friend has a great cosplay costume, atleast she fits the roll...

Otakon 06 ive never seen so many fat chicks dressed up as neko girls and lacy maids... jeez :eek:

Thanks.

Interesting shot!

I assume you firing off the flash wirelessly with the kid holding the flash?

Lizard chilling out ya.
