Todd Adamson Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Fun Family! Hi guys! It's been forever since I posted. Have been pretty swamped lately. These are some very quickly worked up proofs for a family I shot on Sunday. Posing families is not my strong point, but I think we got a decent variety, and I am trying some non-traditional processing. Let me know what y'all think, good/bad/ugly. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

rebstar Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Fun Family! I like your posing, the lighting in your safe shots and the processing. #5 a lil' too much for me. If I were that mom I'd want a huge metallic print of #8. Nice work. Nov 26, 2008 at 02:55 AM

paulhodson Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Fun Family! Obviously some of the tilt is intentional (and I am not keen on it - but that's a personal thing - though I like #8 ) - but is the apparent tilt on the others like #1 intended? Nov 26, 2008 at 09:11 AM

Lindsay Echo Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Fun Family! The only thing that bothers me is the young girl who's right arm is on her hip.. it seems to intrude with the boy in a few shots. It's kind of blocking him off. I think if she would have had her left arm on her hip (or no arm on hip) it would flow a bit better. Her arm is what grabbed my attention in most of the photos.

jefferies1 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · Fun Family! # 8 is very nice. Like it as is and without the flare would be a good look also . The others, sorry 4 people in a line just is not interesting. Next time try breaking them up into different levels. Mix standing with sitting on the ground or hood of the car.

Brian Lingle Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · Fun Family! The tilt doesn't work with the image in 4. Works ok in 8 though I doubt that it adds much to the photo. I really like the old photo look in 7, combined with the way they're dressed and posed. Like the background in that one, too. The tilt of the verticals that shows in the figures could be straightened. Nov 26, 2008 at 05:03 PM

dpt510 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Fun Family! #8, please remove the lens flare. its a cardinal sin I do like #8 more than the rest, I like it more if its the family car and not just a prop edit Nov 26, 2008 at 05:17 PM

Todd Adamson Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · Fun Family! Thanks for all the comments. I'm not a genius at posing, and definitely need to work on that. For the prairie shot, no one was willing to sit down. #1 is not supposed to have any tilt. I'll have to revisit it and make sure I get it straight. Thanks again! Nov 26, 2008 at 05:41 PM

Trevor Green Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · Fun Family! I like 8 shame about the flare Nov 26, 2008 at 07:44 PM

elader Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · Fun Family! I don't mean to sound overly harsh, but I have to say I don't see why you say they are fun. You could have taken the pose fro the first pic and pasted it on different backgrounds and achieved the same effect. They dont interact, their expressions dont change, and they dont even switch positions in the first 6 photos. I like the last one though. Sorry, maybe if you only posted one of these it wouldnt be so ..er.... repititious? Nov 26, 2008 at 11:41 PM

Jim Rickards Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · Fun Family! Good job, Todd. I like these. I noticed tilt in the first 3. Ok, I noticed #4 was tilted too. Nov 27, 2008 at 12:07 AM

Sorry, maybe if you only posted one of these it wouldnt be so ..er.... repititious? No worries about being harsh. As I said, my posing with families is not the strongest, but it wasn't totally obvious to me how simialr they were until I posted 'em all up right together. Still, wanted to show some different processing, and I guess by "fun" I meant that they were dressing up in goofy clothes, wig, etc. Also, it was a fun session for me, and I think they enjoyed it, too.
