Have been out of the loop for awhile and here's one from a recent portrait session with my eldest daughter.. I'm pushing the limits of my 1000D/XS in terms of ISO capability.



1000D + Sigma 17-50mm @ 50mm, f/2.8, 1/30 sec, ISO 1600 + Yongnuo 560 in umbrella as main light + bare 580 EX II opposite of main light.

Noise reduced in LR and tweaked in GIMP.

Your C&Cs are very much welcome. Cheers!

By the look in their faces, they where definitely up to something. Cool shot

Very nice portrait Angelo. She looks like she has a great time and that's nice to watch.

I haven't been here in quite awhile, nor have I taken photos in quite awhile. I've had a lot of family things going on. But I'm back! Here is a preview from a shoot i had with a friend that I haven't seen in a long long time - It feels so good to be out with my camera taking pictures again
Taken with my 5D II and 50 1.4

I so love this shot Baker! Was this all ambient?

Thank you so much for the kind words. Yup, she did had fun until the batteries dried up on our shoot.

Thank you And yes, it's natural light. I have been using natural light for almost all of my portraits recently. I really like the look it gives.

Here is another from that shoot:

Engagement portrait session. Two strobes used with white umbrella.




I don't know about elsewhere but in Texas it has become popular to take a piece of furniture out to a pasture for a portrait.

@ Mark - Faantastic composition on all of them but I love the processing of the second one in your engagement set! Also, really like the second to last shot with the horse in the background!

@gk - Very cute fall photo! You really captured the happiness of the day ...a photo to treasure!

Baker - The eyes are beautiful in this shot. I went to flickr and looked at the larger version, and there is a black outline around the iris of her eyes. Is this something you add in post processing?

Mark - I do like the Texas style shoot. It always looks homey and relaxed.

Just a guess but colored contacts does this sometimes.
