>>3943573>>3943574Thanks a lot, you two, I'll try to listen to your advises.
In particular, when shooting people who will answer for my free photography offer, I'll try using the simplest way to make a good composition — rule of thirds. I think I'm not ready to try out more complex composition, like I tried to with the first work.
What I actually don't get is the all you're saying about exposure. You see, I came to photography world via film photography and learnt only to trust my exposure meter absolutely and take not a single step further or backwards from the exposure pair it gives me. Am I wrong in this principle? Am I using exposure meter wrong since the results I've got?
Also, let me post the first one without post-processing. As you can see from it, what did I do wrong? The main mistake I can see is the light on her face. It's obviously over-lighted. But that's a mistake I've learned something from doing it, now I know better how to (not) set a studio light.
