Any advice for green screen program for editing??
I've been wanting to play around with it but haven't yet, and these photos are perfect for some fun manipulations

Nice shoot, sadly the lens aperture of f/4.5 was not enough, something near f/10 would be much better...

um...can you explain WHY I would want to go with a high aperture here?  The subjuct of the image is the girl with the gun.  The background isn't an important part of the overall image because it's meant for fashion.  I'm confused by your logic here....

For start, f/4.5 is not even the optimum aperture of this lens...
I guess it is f/5.6 or a bit above...

In the photo 7898 it easy to spot, the f/4 was not enough, the man is not in focus, I guess that with f/8 all faces would be in focus.

That's why these are out take images that I didn't edit myself and put in my port or give to the models.  I don't post things here that I'm going to use, I post things here so people can practice.

Ha, that photo is awesome. Ignore people being ridiculous. You's think that retoucher would be familiar with your name as I've seen your work EVERYWHERE on here and know you as an AMAZING photographer.
I got excited when I saw that you posted on here. Sad the photos got removed before I could play with them sad
