[QUOTE="sonicbuffalo_RIP, post: 334590, member: 21543"] Well....I wasn't the only photographer...bil's gf was the one who was conducting the shoot....so the subjects were looking at her most of the time. The other photographer must have liked having me there because she kept telling everyone getting their picture taken to look at me. So, the part about not having the subject look directly at my camera is a preference thing. I think a mixture of shots with them looking at me, and then her, are good. Let the subjects pick out which photos they want. As far as trees coming out of heads, you are right....problem was we were trying to stay out of each others way. She was using a 105 mm macro lens and I was using my trusty old beat up 24-70 f/2.8. I haven't cropped anything like limbs. I kind of got leftovers as far as the shoot went. First time shooting a group. If I had my choice, there are a lot of things I would have done differently....one thing that I'm curious as to why you didn't mention is using fill flash. I left mine at home since I didn't think I'd be shooting practically in the dark. Thanks for the CC though....definitely things to keep in mind for the future.....and I'll edit them next time.
