Hey everyone just had the opportunity to use seamless paper. JUST CAME IN THE MAIL!
This is a picture of a One year old on the seamless paper. Looking for critique on lighting and composition (catchlights bug me... what do you think?)


Exposure: 0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture: f/8.0
Focal Length: 20 mm
Exposure: -0.86
ISO Speed: 400

The lighting looks really nice and even, and I love his expression. The catchlights look fine to me.

Is it just me, or do his feet look enormous in proportion to the rest of him? Also, there appears to be a crease in the seamless paper.

Too cute! I love it!

His feet do look too big, but you can use your perspective scaling to correct. Just adorable!

Yes there was a crease in the seamless paper... at least it looks like it... we hung it with lots of slack... perhaps we need to give it more slack?

He did have big clonkers(feet) to begin with. I think below 25mm i still get a distortion in size with olympus... if anyone knows exactly let us know heh...Not sure how to do perspective scaling ...if you would dare to comment back i would greatly appreciate it! =)

The perspective tool looks like this in GIMP (it may be slightly different in Photoshop, but I didn't know what software you were using.):
It allows you to correct perspective. I did a very quick edit on your picture. I simply selected a rectangle around the lower portion of the picture. I used the perspective tool to adjust his feet to about the right size, then cropped. Obviously the watermark got a little screwy, but you get the idea. I don't know why the light on his forehead changed as I didn't change the levels or curves.

Adorable pic - love the whole concept. I think the entire set up looks good. I didn't notice the large feet so much as I thought this legs looked very long. However, they look better in naeno's edit.
