      No need to think like that, you did capture it pretty well. Also, the bottom 4 from my set can only be done with very specific gear, so not entirely a fair comparison. Posted 3 years ago

        Okay, fine. Different gear is a good excuse, but still...I can't help but laugh at mine. Posted 3 years ago

          I think the full body shot is very decent. The other two you were self-aware enough to mention "bad lighting", maybe you didn't have the time to fully customize it at the time. That's why it's good to develop a standard and quick lighting recipes, that are "proven". In case you don't want to tinker with it per subject. Posted 3 years ago

            Back then, I had zero clue what settings would be best. But, the tips you gave me about aperture and ISO were super helpful. I can get the black background now, but am still improving lighting. Posted 3 years ago

              Well, you were so much younger then. You've radically improved since then. Posted 3 years ago
