Hey everyone, just wanted to see what everyone thought of these. They were all done using lights from Home Depot. I'm trying to make the best out of them until I can afford some real studio lights. Please leave comments. Enjoy.

| the third one is fantastic. the others seem to have a color issue, tho it could be my monitor. if not, try taking out a little of the reds from the neutrals in selective color. |

If you have adjustable lighting, try shooting f/11.. instead of the wider 5.6
Also, I would advise 99% of the time against getting any part of the underchin.
These two I really like.. The first even goes against my chin rule but it falls into that 1% where it actually works.. I love the angle of the head in the second but you should turn her chin away from the camera, into the tilt. My two cents.

it's amazing how many different effects you can achieve from the same photo. though this is a little too extreme for my purposes, i definitely like it. it's very dreamy.
anyone else?

thanks dana,
anybody else use cheap rigged-together lighting setups and achieve decent results?
just curious to see what other methods are out there for the "home depot" shopping crowd.

| I also like the 3rd one a lot, but the other seem a little awkward to me. Also some one suggested shooting at f11, but I totally disagree, I prefer shooting at 5.6 or even wider depending on the shot. I think the less detail in the background the better as long as the eyes are tack sharp |

nice shots hiral.
i like how the effect worked on these shot inparticular, but have you tried diffusing the lights at all? i have some diffusers that i bought with some gels awhile back. they work great, just don't let them touch the glass!!
