Title: Assignment 1: Capture an authentic expression Post by: goldcoastgolfer on November 22, 2011, 03:37:30 PM Took these this morning - I think my daughter can look a bit angelic in her robe with her hood on, even when she's eating oranges! (which have been cropped out ;D)
Truth be know these aren't my best but I thought I should post something as I haven't done so in a while. Taken with a Nikon D7000 and a Sigma 17-70mm lens: Aperture: f/4 Shutter speed: 1/30 ISO: 1600 Focal Length: 70mm (105mm in 35mm format) Exposure: +1/3 Title: Re: Assignment 1: Capture an authentic expression Post by: goldcoastgolfer on November 22, 2011, 05:53:46 PM The second photo didn't quite have the effect I was looking for so I've recropped it.

Title: Re: Assignment 1: Capture an authentic expression Post by: goldcoastgolfer on November 23, 2011, 04:40:56 PM It's inspired me to start another project - A series of photos focussing on the eyes of people as they have different expressions. I'm calling it "Windows to the Soul" - not easy though - getting sharp photos of the eyes with people having natural expressions. It's almost like a macro shot, having to be close up to get the detail.
Title: Re: Assignment 1: Capture an authentic expression Post by: InspiringFotos on January 12, 2012, 10:22:11 AM That sound like a cool 8) project. In one of the workshop books I have, I think it was the macro photography book there is an assignment about taking close up macro pictures of a person's body, such as eyes, hands, neck, etc. I haven't done this assignment yet, but it is suppose to show you photography of a person through a different view point. We are so use to taking a picture of the whole person that we don't realize there can be beautiful pictures taken with use body parts of the person instead, such as the eyes. Let me know how that project turns out and I will try to find the assignment and book to share with you.

Sounds like the macro book is worth a read though. Right now I've got my head in a boudoir photography book.
