Not a posed portrait. I was lurking waiting for some good interaction.

Took these on a recent photo shoot with a good friend for my portfolio.
The Wonderful Wifey was holding a SB-900 mounted atop a painter's pole (thanks Sean for the idea), shot through an umbrella, fired via cybersyncs.

That's a great set of photos. I think the first one is the best(not looking technically at the photo). Good material for a portfolio. To be honest I have no clue of strobism [:P]
I also like the 2nd photo. Although I'm not sure what to think of the hair in front of the eye. The third one is my least favorite. I think she looks a bit sad and I personally think she's lit just a bit too light. But I must say I'm not really a fan of strobism and I'm probably very picky! [:P]

Finally not one of me all the time! hahaha [:P]
Had a random, but totally fun shoot with two friends today. I discovered that one of my friends was REALLY REALLY into photography like I am. I thought she was into photography, but not that into it. So we set up a day to just shoot and exchange ideas. This is one of the results of that shoot. This is my friend Bunyi. I called him that morning to see if he was free because he is always a good model/subject. Fortunately he was in the area and would be free just when Gayle and I would be ready to go.
We shot at a great graffiti location I know in Placentia. To my GREAT dismay when we talked over to the location from our cars we found out that they had recently painted over all the graffiti. The walls here (between to industrial buildings) were COVERED in graffiti. From head to toe and not a spot left unsprayed. After searching the entire area (at least a few football fields long) we could only find two or three good tags to use as a background.
I really wanted to pull the colors and texture out of the wall. I hope I did that.
So yeah that's all folks! Buh bye now!

I've had my eye on this Lens for a while!
Great.., Thanks a lot, now I have to spend more money!

I wanted to test my new Paul C. Buff foldable softboxes to see if I'll be able to use them in place of strip banks under certain situations. However, while I was testing, I grabbed a few useful portraits (this just happened to be my favorite).

I'm still testing it out and So far, So good! I can't believe the diameter of the 1.2 aperture, it's huge! I really wanted a low light indoor Lens for events and family photos. One of my employees is getting married on Labor Day weekend and I'm an invited guest. She hired a Photographer, but she also asked me to take candids and I thought this would be the perfect lens for that on my 7D.
<span>I was hoping this Lens would double as an Indoor Basketball and Volleyball Lens, but after trying it around the house that seems to be out of the question, due to the slow Auto Focus and slow Electronic Manual Focus. I guess it takes a long time to move all of that glass. But, I'm sure when used what it was intended for, like Portraits.., the pictures will be absolutely stunning.
Thanks Again,
Rich

Can you follow me over to a new thread, because I need some pointers with the new lens and I don't want to bog down this thread?

I really like this photo, what do you guys think?

I meant this ^. How do I embed pictures in my post?
If you have a url directly to the image. Click the film strip icon. Paste the URL in the box, optionally enter the dimensions (so the page doesn't re-layout when the image size is found).
It's against the Flickr terms of service to link directly though, they want the image to be a link back to their site. To do that:
1. On flickr, choose the "share this" drop down.
2. Click grab HTML.
3. Select a size that's no wider than 800.
4. Copy the HTML code box.
5. On TDP, click the HTML button (last button).
6. Paste in the HTML code.

Yes. No bribes needed they have been cooperating for years. As they get older it is easier and more fun too.
I know that this isn't digital, and that it's not the greatest technical portrait. But it makes me smile. And I figured I'd bump the thread. Impossible Project PX color flush film.

Tom,
I think the lighting set up for the black and whites you posted work very well for the man in the hat! It's a great mood/emotion that the subject emits and the lighting emphasizes that greatly! I'm not sure I would use the same lighting for the clarinetist though. Personally, I'd like to see a bit more of the left (viewer's right) side of her face. I'm nit-picking, I hope you don't mind! Again though, fantastic lighting on the man in the hat!

This shot of the boy was supposed to be included, don't know how the shot of the waterfall was put in a portrait thread so I deleted it.

A good friend of mine that cares less about a camera pointed at him, whereas some other friends...well that's a different story!
Today I was fortunate to capture one of my all-time favorite shots of Amber...
