I only want £15.00 for it plus p£p The tripod extends to around 4.5 feet to around 4.75

I have a Tripod for sale If you want it smallish and light but it is good with centre crank and a handle

Think it's a vanguard

Mike and to all the have taken the time to contributed criticism on the above and the other post, studio shoot (pregnant portrait)

A very big Thank you

I know the cover lets the image down(been shopping and it will not happen again,( I guess the spare b/ground didn't work))

This shoot was all about dark and atmosphere as it was my first pregnancy shoot. I for one was a bit nervous and I am sure the model was to.

studio set up was as follows

Black b/ground
Light 1
Barn door with h/comb (left hand rear pointing at right side (head)
model around eight feet from b/ground to prevent shadow and cast off
Light 2
Beauty dish(42cm) placed to the right and at 45 degrees and some times central when the light was central to the model a black board was placed to the right hand side of the camera.

I hope the above layout makes sense

If any one can give better advice as to my set up please do.

James

Bret
Thank you for your brutal honesty on my pregnancy portraits just a thought.

How would you improve them.

I've gone for dark and toning for a reason (this is what I wanted to achieve)with blur to defuse from stretch marks and unsightly hair growth

James

Prieni
excellent set of images again

you just improve every time you pick up that pentax

Really nice set

James

I'm with all the comments that have come before me buy it once buy it right

But to save you money on the next p/filter buy it for your biggest lens and get your self stepping rings

James

Thank you K and Tim

You are right the first one I think the sepia is a bit to strong I will alter it.
Yes the second shot is one of my favourite shots of the shoot.

James

I have moved my pregnancy images to the your photos Topic

I would love to know what you think of these two images, not too sure about the crop and the tint on the first one. C&C very welcome.

James

Thank you for your comments

The Photomonk and technoidiot they loved the image and as it was a first I learned a lot about my own technique and lighting. but photography is a journey.

James

OK this is one I quite like so have done a sepia tone and a blur client asked to remove stretch marks from image.

I wanted to create a dark and loving shot.



Please Feel free to give C&C

James
