Hi Cris, I'm not very qualified to answer all your questions regarding lights and equipment, I think that the way you use light in photography is how a painter will use brushes and paint, you have to experiment and get to know your camera and how light affects the final product. Another important factor is getting to know the software, and most of all, the theory behind digital imaging; once you know the way things work, it doesn't matter which software package you use, the essential thing to remember is that the image from your camera has all the information required to adjust the image to display accurately what you are capturing, if that is what you want. Perhaps this is off-topic and you may want to send me an e-mail to fnunez@colourstudio.org

I'm glad you liked it; the camera is important as it is software. Remember to set the White Balance when you are shooting, most cameras will allow you to do it. You don't need commercial software to adjust the colour levels, for instance, I use Linux as my OS and there is no Photoshop for Linux. My imaging software is the Gimp which, in most respects, is as capable as Photoshop. The Gimp has versions for PC and Mac if you don't own Photoshop, and it's free.

Thanks a lot Francisco!U did a good job with the photo; regarding the background, it is white I put something white there and then I used caucasian blur and also light.I think I was in a hurry when I posted the photos with Maria...first had to make them to look better; I`m a little bit sad cause my camera don`t let me to do more with it; I have a canon Power Shot A300; it`s also my mistake I didn`t buy a tripod...I`m still waiting the opportunity to buy a Canon A95 cause I think is better...and maybe in the future CAnon EOS 300 D or maybe 20D :))who knows...maybe!!!
And please be free with ur comments as I said to all: critiques are very, very precious for me.
Wish you a great weekend!
CRis

Hi Cris, sorry you didn't get many comments to your picture. I have looked at it for a couple days, trying to think what is happening, then I thought that it's the sunglasses, they are too prominent and cover Maria's eyes, which are her point of interest. Then I thought that the colour was off a bit, not knowing what was the colour of the background, I had to make a guess and apply some colour correction and I removed the reflections on her glasses. What do you think? I apologise if doing some tweaking to your posting offends you in any way. Keep the good work.
Cheers!
Francisco
