New pictures shot on the 5d Mark 2
Posted: June 15th, 2009 by Khoa Le in Photography | 2 Comments »Photographer Nini Kim Nguyen taking more pictures of me. We try to practice as much as we can as not only it’s fun, but it’s really the only way to get a strong understanding of taking artistic pictures which we want to get into. Playing with the shutter speeds, aperture, iso, natural lighting, shadows, and then post production. I hope you guys like

Khoa,
These pictures are not bad. I notice you’re shooting a lot of outdoor pictures (man I miss the nice weather you’re having), but the sunlight is bit harsh. I would recommend looking at getting some reflectors to help with the harsh glare and shadows. You’ll have to do a lot less post processing.
Keep up the good work and it was nice seeing you again!

Hey peter! Thanks for checking it out =) Ya, just started on this photography stuff. Trust me, that nice weather was something I took advantage of because right now, it’s like seatle. All rain and cloudy.
Ya, I was going for that dark shadow, hard light look, just to have an edgier feel to the pictures. But if I was to take shots with hard sun, how do I soften up the light? How will the reflector help as far as softening up the direct sun? Do I put a diffusor/stand where the sun is pointing?
