Strangers 4,5 and 6 - The Family

So back onto the my 100 Strangers project, which is tremendously lagging, I manged to get this lovely photo, of this young family enjoying themselves, after asking, of course, and they very generously let me take some photos! In my classes recently, we have particularly been focusing in on emotion, and I need to work more on showing it in my portraits, so this was an amazing opportunity to get some practice!

The editing consisted of curves and contrast editing, and that was it this time!

I'd like to thanks the family very much for letting me to take a photograph, It is much appreciated!

Development Shoot - Sharpness and composition

Hello!
After my Windkarting shoot in the Summer, I went out on a shoot to develop the skills I felt I was lacking in, and I chose sharpness and composition for this development shoot. As my shot was taken at night, I used longer shutter speeds so the photos were properly exposed, and I made use of very slow apertures, (I used f/22 for most photos on this shoot)to keep the photo sharp, and make sure everything was in focus. Here are my final pieces after editing.

F/22 10 seconds ISO100

HDR photo, combining F/3.5 1/5 Second ISO 100 and F/22 30 Seconds ISO 100

Another  HDR photo, combining F/3.5 1/5 Second ISO 100 and F/22 30 Seconds ISO 100

Because it was a windy night, and I was using long exposure times, I used two photos, one long exposure photo, and one short exposure photo, and I then merged them, so I retained the sharpness of a fast shutter speed, while achieving effects only achievable by longer shutter speeds.

Thanks for looking, and feel free to knock some feedback down below!
