A few from yesterday's workshop

Jpgs direct from the camera, resized only.












I still need to do a little more resizing on some of these, as irfanview seems to think that 800x600 means 800 by about 900. Go figure!


More to see here.

Gary the second really grabs my attention, the first looks like an interesting moment

Great pics Gary - looks like I left a little early

David,

You had far more important things to attend to.

(Thanx, and yes)

Glen, yes. I'm actually thinking a square crop on both the second and third images would work quite nicely.

Indeed - ended up being a very nice Japanese meal actually

I have to agree. The second (and third) images are sublime. Great use of great lighting.

Great set...Second is my favourite for it's eye contact, lighting and framing...

I'll have to differ with the others I guess:

#1 looks a little soft (my guess is she moved her face as you were taking the shot) - concept I like though
#2 and #3 have potential but to me are too dark and I'd probably soften her face to smooth the complexion a little. Fantastic poses though.
#4 is the weakest of the lot IMHO - too bright and I'd like her eyes open. The latter is deal breaker since the pose is great and the bright could be fixed in PP.

You can see her contacts in the close pics Gary. You may wish to blend those edges.
Nice pics #2&3.
Regards Colin

More likely operator error. Given that we're shooting with flash, subject movement at a poofteenth of a second flash duration would not be a major issue.

#2 and #3 have potential but to me are too dark and I'd probably soften her face to smooth the complexion a little. Fantastic poses though.

Thanx. I actually like the dark shading. I understand what you're saying about softening the skin a little, but that's not what my photography is about.

I actually did consider bringing along a vaseline filter, but getting up that early on a Saturday ...

Colin, I hadn't noticed that; good call.
