FabSwingers.com forum: Good photographs

Come across some great photos on here and often wonder what people use, some do look like they use a portrait lens, lamp and backdrop

So if you like photography and have examples on your profile , please tell us....what camera do you use, do you use backdrops or lamps, do you post process. Any other tips?

Ours are all done on an iPhone 7 with a bit of cropping and post processing, we don't use any beauty filters. We have an Olympus 4/3 and Sony RX100, but don’t see much improvement for digital, but about to start experimenting the full frame.

No need for fullframe at all!

If you want great photos, get a massive light source (big open window with sidecurtains) for lovely soft light.

Shoot at f8 or so for a good depth and enjoy.

You can always ad lights later, I use a 5ft westcott brollie and some 80cm softboxes for soft light using Godox Flashes.

They are nice, it’s what’s behind the lens that makes a good photo or a bad photo

It's not the camera or the lens, but the light. Equipment is not the primary driver. Managing light, and knowing how to pose are primary. Photographic skill secondary... when you've mastered that, spend as much as you want on equipment but don't expect it to transform your results.

Huawei P30Pro for ours.

I do have a little hobby for photography and have taken some extremely sexy ones for a friend on a Nikon D5300 with a simple screen and some studio lamps. We even did some in the shower for her, and I must admit, they all came out amazing!

Would love to do more photography like that for people's profiles. X

Go to AV/AP for sure. You want enough light though, so dont shoot f8 if there just isnt enough light for it.

ISO 100-800 is fine (even 1600 on modern systems),

Shutter 200 and above if possible if handholding or if you are super close,

Shutter 90+ if you are on a tripod (the human body moves a LOT)

Just drop me a message if you need help, but honestly dont shoot INTO the light and just use a giant window for lighting, its soft, makes women look amazing and the light wraps beautifully!

It's a great phone for the camera. Especially with the leica lense. I particularly love the Aperture mode. Means you can take a basic image and still play with the _perture later.

I've found Android pictures much better than iPhone. I did a wedding album for a family member and asked other guests to send me their pics as I didn't get round to everyone, it was very easy to tell who had an IPhone as their picture quality was far worse than those who I knew had androids.

Our latest few are all done on an iPhone XS but we have a few lights to make sure the sensor has a ton of input. You can get great results with a nice phone camera and it’s about composition etc. Lighting matters. If you’re in a darker space you’ll end up with red patches and all kinds that simply don’t show up in real life most of the time.

Agree wholly! No need for fullframe unless you are pixel peeping or need more sensitive sensors. Also RAW is just huge, no point for normal people.

I've been told mine are pretty good. I use my S10 usually (phone is broken at the moment though so using S8 for last few ones) and front selfie camera with the timer.

My advice would be make sure you use a room with bright lighting and then download an app to help sharpen the image.

I sometimes use filters too to slightly change colours and brighten up a photo if it's a little too dark.

And a clear background is always a good idea.

Oh and make sure you always wipe your camera lens too.

Just a black backdrop. ISO always as little as possible for least noise. I can’t remember the lens, think I borrowed it but they normally have their own sweet spots regarding F number. It’s normally just getting the lighting right.

With good lighting you can get surprisingly good photos with a mobile phone these days. You just might need to take several to get the look you want.

We have a mix of SLR, iPhone and stills from videos taken in 4K with iPhones. To be honest, SLRs are a bit overkill these days, especially indoor, but a macro lens is great for outdoor portraits!

I use a Sony aps-c camera with either a 16mm, 30mm or 50mm lens, depending on the look I am trying to go for. Majority of the time if shoot in Aperture Priority mode especially is there is good light.

If I want control over the lighting, it manual mode with an external flash with an iso setting of 800 or 1600, but this is open to experimentation. Aperture be is set between f8 and f11, again open to experimentation.

We use everything from a camera phone to a full frame DSLR for our pics and we believe it's hard to tell the difference as long as effort is put into composition: A good photo is a good photo irrespective of the kit you use.

Studied photography here, it's about the light and the lens. Try and use natural light as it's far better than artificial sources, also the camera phones are getting so much better now. Good shots also come from processing the images (no, not the type that blurs everything).

Amen!

So many get distracted by equipment, and lose sight of the photograph.

think we need to invest in some lights for indoors

Anyone got any advice on buying some that aren't too over the top for ordinary bedroom, living rooms etc type shoots for amateurs like us ?

we have used a couple of portable worklights before now bounce the light off a white wall or cieling to defuse it a little and bingo job done . the neewar sets you can pick up for around $50-80 are good enough for most on here .but prefer natural light when available

Can't you just get small household lamp and then move it around /angle it... Use a mirror to bounce light maybe.. Try different bulbs. Try it low / high.. In front of you and behind you

You are looking to create a glow /slice of light... Turn into it once you've created it

yeah that would make things difficult did try doing some moonlit nudes once but the model has to hold thier breath for the long exposure ( no that not a pun ) to prevent motion blur .also tried wacking up thr iso but just ended up very grainey with lots of noise .its why we prefer to shoot outdoors in natural daylight most of the time as can be seen with our latest pics

Agreed and this is the dilemma on the streets because your phone is always on, ready and discreet. Even a super small kit like RX100 needs to carried , switched on and when you point it at someone in Lagos or Douala you often end up on the floor

I would disregard most of the advice given on this thread. Aperture and shutter speeds depend entirely on the lighting in the environment you're shooting in.

If you have an slr or bridge, stick it on manual then experiment. If you don't, use whatever and change your angle and distance to the subject.

End of the day, you won't be able to produce professional standard images without the pro kit and knowhow

Most of our pics are of Katie

We started out taking naturist photos on our holidays

And progressed to more naughty ones

Cameras were an old zenith

Then minolta xi variants all film cameras

Using black and white film and Colour

And also slide film

Before turning to digital Minolta/Sony

When using film we used a discreet development service from H&E magazine

And then super snaps for our naturist pics!!!

Yes. When you get images put onto a decent size print it’s best to use raw, the place we use realest raw+jpeg and large sensor = less cropping

And my old place of work

No cctv in the old place!!!!

But probably the best ones were taken outside at a local village hall

Which was having some building work done !!!

Sadly we don’t get them printed anymore

And no longer send them to H&E magazine

Raw+jpeg just means the camera will make a raw and jpeg file of the same shot, has nothing to do with print quality - Raw is just a file that when opened with the relevant software will have no camera manufacturer processing applied, unlike a jpeg file it will be quite a flat looking image.

You can shoot raw on some mobiles nowadays (certainly mine you can... And then process how you like in lightroom etc) .. Raw eats up a lot of memory... If you are wanting to print and need depth /detail, then great, but probs overkill for a tiny fab pic?? Plus you still need to have an eye for framing and lighting ... Thats why really skilled photographers are worth their money (and rare)

Actually the Sony has a full frame setting as long as you are standing on your head.

In all seriousness it's strange that Sony make sensors for both canon and nikon yet didn't put full frane sensors in the early rsx models. Prob saving money

Composition and light are the two key elements. With people, knowing how to pose the model is a primary skill. The more people in the shot, the harder it becomes.

Equipment is a secondary concern. Actually, citing it as a secondary concern makes it sound more important than it is!

I'm a raw file shooter. Everything is done raw. It takes up more storage space, but thats cheap nowadays. Raw is like processing a negative. It non-destructively gives you total control over the final output. JPEG, is a bit like receiving a print. The processing is already applied, and making changes to white balance, colour temp, contrast, exposure etc becomes more limited and destructive. With the iPhone, you can shoot raw from the 6s and above. With the iPhone in particular, the difference in quality is huge!
