The catchlight? Reflection of light source? It looks a little amped in post, I do it with curves.

Glassy-eyed from a catch light. Either off-camera or on-camera fill flash would do it. Dreammy effect is from the lens wide open apperture at f1.2. The more you get closer to the object, the shallower depth-of-field you would get, hence the more dreammy effect. Since the depth-of-field is so shallow, you need to nail tack-sharp focus on her eyes to make the photo pop.

It's the lens. If you shoot wide open you get a beautiful effect in the out of focus areas. You just have to be careful to focus carefully on what you want in focus. The depth of field at f1.2 or f1.4 is very shallow.

No Photoshop necessary. You simply shoot at 1.2 or 1.4 f-stop and make sure your focus spot is right on her eye(s). Also, you should be standing between 4 to 5 feet from her. That will ensure her eyes are in focus and the background is blurred out. This lens is a dream. Pricey but worth every penny.

Lens this lens 85Lmk2 puts out creamy bokeh..some software can produce similar but nothing as good as taking it with the right glass.

Dear friend, I believe the beautiful catchlight is a result of a good light source and modifier, maybe a large softbox.

I've seen some inquiries about color peeling, is that still happening, do you still recommend the case even taking this in mind?Does every model fade to the same color once they peel? If they don't which one should I choose to reduce the peeling effect?Thanks in advance and sorry for the multiple questions, I really like the design of this case but this is holding me back from buying it at the moment.

good! there are two flashes, and a slight pause in between them. sometimes people are confused when i take photos of them using the red eye, because they think the photo was taken after the first flash, and so they moved when the photo was actually taken. it shouldn't be too big of a problem for you though.

I initially had the same issue. I think I just kept going in the ordering process and the choice eventually came up... I bought another pair of computer glasses at the same time. By Retro Eyeworks. I find them much gentler on my eyes and they don't distort the color the way Gamma Ray does.

I switched to a higher quality component in my blend which it the reason for the green tint. I am in the process of improving my packaging and photos within the next few weeks. Thanks for your purchase!

Okay M.I got my camera last night. I took a couple of pictures on my in to work this morning. I am going to post them after I make this post. I don't know what people are complaining about when they complain that the pictures are blurry. The pictures I took were extremely sharp. For the sample picture go the listed item. I will post more pictures by Sunday. Feel free to email me if you have any questions (superat06@gmail.com)Sean

Can someone comment on how this is different from a "tilt-shift" lens costing hundreds of dollars more? I want to get into the realm of architectural photography, and have been told a tilt-shift is something good to have, but they also mentioned LensBaby.

A word about the D800. I downloaded the 20 megabite sample jpeg image files nikon provides and tried my hand at working with them in photoshop and Topaz filters. I see some color banding in the shadows, hmm? Has any one else tried working them?The other thing is that I noticed is with 36mp images at 20MB's your post processing times to slow to a crawl.

I'm reasonably satisfied with scanned photos. To get a good copy photo must be on a flat surface. If anything 'lifts' the scanner off the surface the process breaks up. Color rendition is also acceptable but the editing program for improving contrast and color balance is very basic. I don't know whether a better editing program can be incorporated. Hope this helps you out.

i know you asked this a while ago, but i think that's unfortunately just the way it's made. ours is fairly blurry & requires a bit of explanation regarding what the shot was when he shows it off. he loves it though, only thing he really seems to be disappointed about is the lack of zoom *grin*

I try to purchase items with stitched eyes. It is a safety thing with me. Buttons can cause choke hazzards. Hope this helps. The sock monkeys are darling.

Get a lightbox, 5500K lighting with high CRI to make everything sparkle, and use photoshop to do focus stacking. Pro shots. Perfect lens for this. I've got L lens too. This one is way cheaper and just as good.

Hello, That is a really interesting graphic on my product! It does not belong there. Obviously someone has somehow overlaid this photo over my photo to prevent me from selling product. I will work on getting it fixed! Thank you for writing in...

sorry, can't help. all I did was take an amateurish group photo and emailed it to them. It came back fabulous! I was very pleased . It also came back much quicker than they had estimated. Hope that helps

It looks like they used the wrong image when they did the ad. They seem to have 2 or 3 ads for that lens. I do love mine it OS a great walk around lens.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I will take every one of your suggestion into consideration the next time. What really puzzled me is the fact that some pictures taken in the same room under the same lighting condition do not have the shadow and some do. I wish I could show you the pictures. If you have any suggestion on how I could share a photo with you please let me know.
