September 2012 portraits

Wonderful, Luke! You and that Aero-Ektar were made for each other...

I have to go against the grain on this shot. All I see in this image is a bright spot right of center.... I can't find her, and when I do, I go back to the light.... Pity too. She's such a lovely looking lady.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Can't take my eyes off this girl. She's stunning. Didn't you read Alice in Wonderland?

Caydon's mom

Caydon lives next door to my daughter in Oregon. He's the same age as my grandson and they actually play outdoors for hours at a time which I'm very happy about. And that's his mom.

Yep.

Saw the movie too.

Jim, the pic didn't come through.....

Luke, I really like the last one. I might suggest a small crop off the bottom. More of a 20X24 ratio.

[John Conway]

Keep them coming. Your work is wonderful.

An old trick is to view a photo through squinted eyes.

Does it still have visual impact and presence?
How has contrast and tonality been affected?
Are the important elements still well balanced?
If the image has lost strength and balance it may need more work...

Excellent. What lens Luke?

Interesting to know. I've turned around, and look at an image real quick to see where I focus the fastest on, but I"ll try the squinting routine as well.

Learn something everyday, which is a good thing.
