Going to the wedding...

Yes, my sister just did a quick make-up to my daughters and dressed them up before they go to a wedding invitation, so i took the opportunity and took some shots of my daughters, here is one:

Finally i used my new beauty dish, but i hope someone can correct the color, i feel it is incorrect.

Re: Going to the wedding...

The color is a tad warm, ie yellow orange. Add a little blue.

If your worried about color, buy a grey card and shoot a test shoot with it in the picture. Then you can get the correct color balance off the grey card.

Color corrected, then did a little quick something. Lovly looking daughters by the way...

I know nothing about color corrections.. I just eyeball it till it looks OK to me.. but back in the day.. I also used a Gray card in the first shot and again whenever I changed the lighting setup..

Re: Going to the wedding...

Tareq, this may be a little off topic, but I would consider taking that beautiful girl to a dentist! All the postprocessing won't help in real life. Please don't be offended!

It is too late, with that much of sweets and chocolates eating no one dentist can help us.

Thanks, no offended.

Re: Going to the wedding...

Just one thought , if you have the space move your " model " further out from the background . That way the creases won't show so much , if at all . Bill

I did, she was further away from the background, but using f16 for example mostly with hasselblad will show more depth of field maybe including the background.

Thanks!
