    The horizon is going down in some photos, that’s not the right way to present a photograph.

    I love it!
    The pictures turned out like a commercial ad, well done!

  17. To all those …
    To all those negative to this, isn´t photography up to one self, i dont like to bend to any certain laws of photography. Its up to one self how the pictures gonna be. I can understand if people criticise bad images, i don´t really see that here. So what if the pictures are taken indoor, we didnt see the final pictures.

    Sorry, if all this didn´t make any sense, i am danish and its 12:40 and night :D

  18. I don’t mean to …
    I don’t mean to sound negative but I would have to agree with Caamelaihan and johnxstone. The shots look unnatural and the compositions were odd. I think you may have had much more luck with an outdoor shoot using mainly natural light and keeping the set up simpler, if anything they look a bit old fashioned. Very intresting vid though – no personal offence intended it is just my opinion, and photography being an art form is all subjective of course. I’m sure people see them differently.

    Aperture was at …
    Aperture was at f3.5. As far as metering goes… I got the right exposure first in manual mode by metering the window, and adjusting shutter speed. Then I added in the flashes. Flash being an instantaneous light source is not affected by shutter speed what-so-ever up to 1/250th of a second. After that it either goes away, or in the case of high-speed-sync, it just diminishes in power. Other than that, it’s just like any other studio setup.

    What was your apeture set on. I know that the light from the window would of made the camera meter read wrong. I see using the flash and black reflector made softer lighting in the room.
