Since the K-5 is about $300 here on marketplace and K-5 with grip is about $350, the 130-ish one from Amazon (plus shipping) is a little tragedy.
I'm using the grip all the time, the WR is not important for me, but the quality of the buttons is.

Hi guys!
I'm interested in genuine or third-party D-BG4 grip with 1 or 2 spare battery. I've failed to find it here on PF, and I don't want to spend $200 on that stuff.
Can you please recommend me some ebay or other online seller. Does anybody have problems with grips from China or with third-party batteries?
Thanks

Set your flash at 105 mm zoom position. And set your camera shutter speed at 1/120. I think it would help.

Hi, Tim.
I do read the thread. Taking shot outdoors is not an excuse for underexposing the photo, I think. I've shown what can be done with the original RAW-file. I also gave advice of how to shoot makeups. Additional light is good nevertheless you shoot for pleasure or not. :) Btw, it's very interesting thing about pleasure. Imagine - I'm coming to you and say: Hi, Tim! Taste the cookies I've backed today. You're tasting and the cookie is bad. It's a great cookie you say. It's a good cookie to play with, you say. You can add ketchup, mayo, salt, sugar and hold it on the stick over the fire. Anyway you've made the cookie for own pleasure you say. Nope, the cookie isn't good. And it won't be good even if you put black caviar on it. Unless your boss had backed the cookie ;)
I mean it's to use other settings before change it in processing programs. It's better to learn how to shoot before learning how to process. And it's very hard to shoot certain things without additional instruments.
Please don't take this personally.
Best,
Alex.

Well that's about post-processing. About 15 minutes in Lightroom. +1.8 EV added, highlights, shadows modified, sharpness, noise reduction, 3 adjustment brushes used.
And now here's my opinion about the shot. I'm sorry in advance because you won't like it. The shot is not good. It's underexposed, it lacks light, lacks plot, I can't say anything about composition - it's just a 'headshot'.
As for me, the makeup shooting needs more lighting, especially direct artificial lighting. One of the best is one from beauty-dish, then reflective umbrella, flash. At least softbox. Then, you shoot @ 800 ISO, 1/125 shutter. I think it's possible to use 400 ISO with 1/60 with shake reduction. And there a lot of 'more'.
Best,
Alex.

I think I won't straight hairs. Maybe just remove some sharpness.
Colbyt, any more series or more photos from this session?

Thanks, guys!
Stefan, thank you for you comment I'll check.
My setup was: K20, FA 50/1.4, sun, golden reflector, 2 youngnuo flashes, stands. First shot sun, reflector and flash headed in the car's ceiling. Second one - sun, flash slightly from the left on the stand. Third shot - flash with reflective umbrella from the left.
Cheers

I suggest to try FA 43 and Tamron at 200 mm. Both with fastest aperture. Normal lens gives you the opportunity to move around the model, to use upper and lower angles of view and lets you to talk to model. Otherwise long telephoto lens gives you another DOF lets you shoot from a distance.
You can use your flash as an additional light source. It's nice to have umbrellas and radio triggers for the flash.
Cheers

Feel free to ask any questions.
For me portraiture is the art of depicting human, and moreover showing his/her personality with some mood to taste.
You can use perspective, color or light to subtract subject from background. You can use cropping, FOV, lighting or composing to attract attention to certain part of the body/emotion. You should work with model to reveal mood and personality. And you need to combine everything to get some good results. Ask for more tips and tricks. :)
