Some people get off on that. There's a market for everything.

Just an opinion...and not meant to be combative or derogatory.

rodi is always combative and derogatory

I meant from a photographers perspective....the beauty (or lack thereof) of the client was irrelevant to my comment

. I love Josh's lighting (although I think the white backgrounds are getting a bit long in tooth) and of course his exposure is spot on. My major gripe is the hands like I said before...of course some of the models may be uncomfortable, especially if it is their first time doing something like that. That discomfort translates into stiffness (mannequin like instead of human like). So that being said he has (I am sure he will eventually) come up with a way to relax the ladies. Guys have a tendency to be less self-conscious and portray more confidence, as evidenced by the shot of the baseball player (which is an EXCELLENT shot BTW Josh). The other posed shots you have taken that look great are the two shots of the blonds (separate models) with their thumbs hooked into their jeans front pockets and the one of the blond here:

The all look NATURAL....

HAHA....you are so right man...I just showed my girl that picture and she said he reminds of that dude on Star Trek..whatshisname? I said "Spock" she said no the other one! I said Lt. Worf!!!

dcstep · 10-27-2011, 12:01 PM

Is this pose natural enough?

Nice white-tail buck by dcstep, on Flickr

I must admit, some elements of wild life photography are EASY vs. posing and shooting people. I struggle to find my subjects and catch them in good light, get an eye light and do the exposure on the fly, but the pose is usually not the problem, except when they only show me their tails.

When I've shot women, they've always been friends and I only had to focus a little on getting them relaxed. I've leaned toward shooting actresses, who seem to know what to do without a ton of input from me, other than compliments and encouragement. I can't imagine making a living shooting something like high school senior pictures and trying to get thousands of inexperienced girls and guys to relax. I have nothing but respect for those that do that well.

Well the eyebrows are certainly an improvement.

Nice morning on the front nine at the country club. A tad chilly for golf, though.

M_Six · 10-28-2011, 11:27 AM

Chilly mist rising.

Nice pictures, I like the colors in the CC photo. You get to play at all?

I have a set of clubs, but I haven't abused a golf ball in years. This CC is nothing like a PGA course, but it is well kept and picturesque. It would probably do me good to get back into the game.

gary88 · 10-29-2011, 01:23 AM

Going back and re-editing a lot of older shots.

I was actually going to ask you if you had some good fall colors going on down there... Weather.com said our area up here is past peak but you guys in Central IL are in your prime for color mixing.

M_Six · 10-29-2011, 12:08 PM

It's past peak here, but there are still some good colors to be found. The street leading to my office has some nice color as do the trees in front of the office. I should bring my camera when we go by there tomorrow and see if I can get a pic with no cars parked in front.

spanner1751 · 10-29-2011, 05:53 PM

One of the first photos that I took yesterday with my new DMC-G10 at Aloha Tower.

hey kevin, thanks, no comparison. especially the ISO, i keep forgetting the ISO to 1000 because the image is the same as 100. no noise at all.

i have to say though that the older sony felt more solid. it was heavier and the materials seemed better. this is all plastic and its light.
