HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II - Page 2184

The walls are a cream color, but not as yellowish as the photos look. I'll have to check the white balance - as I've only started playing with the camera this weekend, I'm still low on the learning curve. I would like to avoid the flash - I get enough negative feedback on shiny surfaces in my photos as it is, and I don't mind a bit of chiaroscuro, if the rest of the color range is correct.

Unhappily, my living room is a typical NYC apartment - long, narrow rooms, and if I change the locality of the photo setup, the world will see what a sty the place really is

If you have the room to put the camera further away from you and zoom in a bit, that would help improve the pics as well.

Yeah, my place faces west so I only have good light in the afternoon. I want to do good WAYWRN photos, but lighting is an issue and I don't have a tripod, or anybody to take pictures of me. If my lady is over I am always gone before she wakes up. I would feel silly asking coworkers...

Do you use daylight, artificial light (or maybe a mix)? Saturation looks high too; maybe it would help to lower it a bit.

Hehe. I see.

It's mostly artificial light, though there may be more daylight as spring arrives.

I'll have to check out the settings - I'm still learning what the camera can (and cannot) do.

I understand. There are probably a few artificial light settings for the white belance. Good luck.

Cheers DBM! The shoes are Magnanni, however I don't know the model. I got them at the Rack so they didn't come with a box or any other information.

Thanks acrid! I too prefer darker colours and my next suit purchase will be a grey suit a few shades darker than this one.


Finally enough snow has been cleared for a smoke break shot
