Day 62 - March 3rd, 2013
Today we have a couple portrait shots that were the result of some comments on my 1st Portrait Thread...
Two different light setups as suggested by Scott (STM)
Left - 2 equal lights with umbrellas at 45 deg and looking down 30 deg
Right - a single light on center above camera
I did not have a good reflector but that could be used to reduce shadows in the right photo...
Learning every day!!

You're getting there Pat, very nice. So now it's only a question of taste and more experiments. I think I prefer the one with only one light on the right, but the other one isn't bad either...

Marilynne & Marcel,
Thank you both for the comments.. I have had fun this weekend doing this, the Challenge and the close ups!! time to take a break and go ride my motorcycle in the snow! I am anxious for Spring Marcel, then the birds will return and I will be able to and learn more about shooting them. Hard to do when Marilynne and Jeff have them all trapped in the south!!

I agree with Marilynne. The left one seems a little softer. The right one looks harsher and shows too many wrinkles.

Barb, thanks for taking the time to look and even more so to add your comments. They are appreciated!!
I totally agree with the softness but on the other hand, the right (or lower) pic seems to make her face look thinner... choices, choices, choices.. I could soften up the 2nd in PP too...

As a middle-aged woman, I'd rather have fewer wrinkles.

Day 62 - March 3rd, 2013 .... Bonus Pics!
Took off and put a few KM's today in the snow and mud...
Here is my co-pilot - complete with coat and goggles (actually called "Doggles")
His name is Snuggles and he loves to Ride!!!
In the sidecar of my Ural Motorcycle that is!!
He goes crazy when he is inside and hears me start it up... Afraid he is gonna miss a ride!

Understood young lady... Your opinion is probably more valid than mine in that category!

Barbra, by middle aged do you mean somewhere between say 30 and 35? LOL
Something like that.

Thanks Marcel... It is a fun ride for sure, not what you want to run highway speeds with but it is a lot of fun on backroads, camping etc.

He is a beauty Marcel. He is sitting out at least 50% of the time I am at Horseshoe Pond, and he appears very friendly. I usually just stop in front of the house and take the shot out the truck window. If his people were ever out, I may ask to greet him and photo him up close.

Thanks Barb and I agree... no way to get past them and no clear spot to shoot through them..
