I have a reluctant model, and after a year of practice, one of my best photos. Not perfect, but 100% better than my previous attempts!

With all the talk of the D850 making the older cameras obsolete I sometimes feel like the odd man out by thinking there is still a lot of performance out of old obsolete cameras. During a lunch yesterday with my good friend Anastasia, that was forced on us by rainy weather not cooperating for a planned photoshoot in the park featuring the fall colors as background, I got a D800 out of my bag and shot with a 70-200 2.8 against the only light source of the room, the window directly behind her was the only light in the room of the small neighborhood cafe. This is a low odds shot since strong backlight means boosting shadows a lot to get the face. Shooting manual, 175mm 2.8 1/80, ran it up to 3600 ISO. It gracefully handled the blown out window light but captured enough mid tone data without boosting in post, I did use a little dFine noise reduction however in post. By the time the rain stopped the light was failing so used fill flash outdoors for one on a walkway and then one in the part with the after sunset. I would like a D850 but surely do not need one

Another image from the same session, on the street: 1/100, 200mm, 2.8 ISO400 flash for fill, I liked this image because ....just because:>) Anastasia is an actor in stage and place a police detective in a national TV series

For my first attempt at portrait photography, my friends two daughters volunteered to be models.

One of the Forest Gump spots. We found it by accident on the way to Monument Valley. Came over a little rise and there were people with tripods in the road. WTF... took us a minute to figure it out!
Thanks for posting it.

Thanks for posting it.

Was also used for a book cover prior to Forest Gump. Still, love that spot!
