Greetings Carlito: While we eagery await posting your images, maybe you could let us know what you were trying to accomplish during the shoot so we can better point you in a direction you want to go in. Take it light.

Oh, and while you're at it, it'd be helpful if we knew more technical info like what kind of lighting you were using and their position to the subjects, modifiers, etc., film or pixels, lens, etc. M.

well,I was just trying to provide them images that they could use for promotional purposes that showcase them & their make up...um,the lighting provided was from my buddy's cinematography class(have no idea what brand or anything)but,they were positioned like this: M M
I used a Nikon n65-film w/ the quantaray lense that it came with...I really want to know how I could get better shots & utilize the light better/differently...

I don't know much about photography I'm new but here are some comments: - Focus, was it used manual? you should focus first take pics later - If autofocus was enabled you didn't point it to your subject (the models) the backgroud is on focus. - The lighting seems to be bad, maybe the flash won't cut it with the light, you will need those umbrella flashes or a good third party one. You can also try bouncing the flash with white cardboards. - Some backgrouds are shiny and reflected the flash back, it doesn't look good. Try using opaque ones. - Maybe even the roll of film is the culprit, try using better film, semi-pro or pro grade. - I don't know about that camera but it should display the aperture and shutter speed somewhere (LCD or viewfinder perhaps?) my 2 cents..

The Lights You used were Hot lights, As Mark said to help you with this we really need more info. They are difficult for those starting out see the first Studio Photography threads as that was what Laura was using to " Cook her husband" but the testing is there. Renting, borrowing or buying a set of decent mono lights (strobes) would really help you out and be a Noticable difference to you. then using some sort of diffusion, Umbrells would be the cheapest. I am sorry , I will chek back, time get the kid to school.

Awesome!!!Thanks a lot guys...whenever I try to ask photographers for tips or anything like that they're all pretty secretive...I don't even consider myself to be a photographer,I just have a camera & I always get asked to shoot for some reason...
