Newbie to the site and to photography, shooting for about 1 year. This is a portrait I did with my wife as she helps me to try to get better with my portrait photography... all CC is welcome.
D600, Tamron 70-200mm, shot at 82mm 1/160th f8.0 ISO 100... Clamshell lighting with speed light on background.
A few shots from the winter of 2025. The last one was inside of the Acropolis Museum. (Unfortunately, I could get everyone to walk exactly where I wanted them to. hahaha)
For iPhone users - a new version of Bluristic has dropped (v1.8) which offers new features and significant improvements in stability & useability.
I am interested in learning Macro/Closeup photography and understanding that Focus Bracketing is a good part of the process, I thought I would give focus stacking a try.
Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5. NOTE: With this lens the minimum focusing distance is 18" at which point you have 1/4" depth of field.
Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.
Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!

Your wife is gorgeous. I'd say pay attention to the highlights on the skin; these look just slightly too bright, and the color is a little off. Either upping your shutter speed to 1/200 or, if 1/160 is your max sync speed, either up the aperture to 9 *or* turning down the power of your strobes a little should help.There is a stark transition from the highlight on her cheekbone that doesn't look quite natural.
Hope this helps!
I agree I was thinking that the highlights were blown out... thank you for the feedback and I will make the adjustments
