Why this title? Well, I thought up of this title because of a comment I received about this post some time ago:-
“no gush here
My advice, next time, is to realize that you are in a “photographic hell” instead of a studio, where lighting is controlled and good portraits are made, then act accordingly.
The white balance (thus the skin tone) in those images is quite poor. Your flash is showing in their eyes and making light pools on their faces. Basically, what I see are snapshots, masquerading as portraits.
Back the he77 OFF, then use your zoom to stand in the “sweet spot” of your flash, thereby avoiding the light pools on the faces. Take 2 minutes to remove the flash from the eyes. Lastly, but certainly not least, in situations where you are forced to shoot under mixed light sources do a custom white balance (with a white piece of paper held EXACTLY at target) before each shot.“
Actually, I am always open to suggestion and constructive criticism and I welcome and look forward to comments to my post. Either good or bad, I always enjoy reading them. I don’t expect my readers to always agree with me, so long as they have a valid reason, it’s always good to hear the opposing views and arguments.
If the author of that comment has taken care to read my original post, he would realize that the photos posted on that post was never meant to be good examples “portrait” photography. Never once
