p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · first time post...pic of my daughter


this is a simple one light shot with a 60" umbrella high up front just barely to the right of camera.
my problem seems to be getting a good crisp black and white like I do with my film. I admit, I hate the editing side of photography
any wisdom or advice is always appreciated

thanks, Ron

Link directly to the jpg by encasing it in an image tag.

Broad lighting is not the most flattering. I would have put the umbrella close to nose axis, maybe slightly behind. With the umbrella close, you'll get wraparound on the shadow side.

Thanks 123!

I agree Dmac and I do have other images that are short lit and front lit.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by "picture tab" though. What exactly is that?

Looks a smidge overexposed to me.

Not real crazy about the chin in hand pose either.

I think if your hosting site could display with a black skin (i.e., background color) instead of the white one it would improve viewing of the image. Even if you display it on FM, with the dark background it would help.

I would try to pulling the image into ACR or Lightroom, and tone the exposure down slightly.

Learning all the digital darkroom stuff is definitely not pleasant.
