Family Photo - self taken

12 years 4 months ago #179367 by MWAC
Attempted to update our family photo today... the last one we had taken my son was 2 weeks old.



As you can tell it's been a while, we've added the girls to the family since our last family photo... my son turned 15 this year.



let me know if the colours look ok? On my desktop they look fine, on the laptop the skin looks off.

beautiful family :) I would maybe try to pose your family a bit more? Everyone seems a bit stretched out and your son doesn't look too happy on the end lol. Maybe try to stagger with the girls in front? That way the different heights of the family members can work for you better. The colors are good but I don't know what you are seeing yourself. The coloring looks a bit vintage (faded). You might want to play with the saturation if that's not what you are looking for. Hope this helps :)

Nice sharp photos. Must have been taken at at least f/8 maybe higher.

Which brings up a slight problem with the pictures. The subject isolation is a tad lacking. Which makes the colorful background a tad distracting to my eye.

Colours look fine. I like the processing though you do have some sharpening artifacts coming in. Maybe pull back the sharpening settings slightly.

Yep F/8 spot on ... kind of a trade off since I had to use the self timer and I wanted it to be sharp. I could try to add a blur in PP but I never can get it to look natural enough for my liking.
