What’s Your Preference?

I'm just a beginner at photography, I have a large garage, and set up a makeshift background with a black sheet and some lights. (from Menards)

Here are TWO photos that I took of my 9 yr. old in my garage.

I have a few shadows, which hopefully I can correct with the lights that I bought on ebay. They should be here this week sometime.

Let me know what you think.

Mabye it's me, but that link doesn't go to a bunch of shots taken in a makeshift garage studio

Just the two pictures of my 9 yr. old wearing green are in my garage, not the link. The link is my website.

I am sorry, I think I am missing something here. In your post you say you are "Just a beginner at photography" and you put up a link that you say is for other pictures taken with the set up used to take your two shots of a little girl in green, yet the link is actually to your web site where you have hundreds of pictures that are up for sale.

Yes, I am a beginner, yes I have hundreds of pics on a website, yes they are for sale.

I created the website one week ago. I have had my new camera for 3 months, which I have been trying to take some good pictures to sell, to make up for the website cost, which isn't much. Before I had this DSLR camera, the only digital camera i've owned is a kodak point and shoot DX7590.

Sorry............my first post must have been confusing. I don't have gymnastics meets, proms, and dance recitals in my garage.

I have edited my first post, hopefully it is now understandable.

Oh, and by the way, if you doubt these were taken in my garage, see the attached pics.

I am not trying to be a smart_*_(whatever), I'm just trying to learn about photography.

I have a very similar setup in one of my bedrooms which i now totally use for photography. I set up my computer in there also and some umbrella lights and background stand. Nothing too elaborate but something to start with. I think you have done fine with the photos taken in your garage and you can only improve each time you set up for a shoot.. You have a very pretty subject to start with.

i'm sure you werent trying to be a smartarse, its just your first post was kindof confusing and contradictory.

we get allot of spammers here so your low post count kindof made me wonder what was going on.

all the best wit the garage thing.. stick with us and i'm sure you'll grow in leaps and bounds

Thank you!

I just bought a set of Britek lights on ebay, which i'm not sure about yet, they haven't arrived, I've heard good and bad about them. For me I think they will be fine, (they have to be better than my Menards lights and a camera flash).

Also I am excited about the new lens that I ordered, and will be here Tuesday, (Canon - 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Zoom Lens).

It will work alot better than my Canon - EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens, I have to stand clear on the other side of the garage with it.
