Post Your Best Portrait Shots!

[ddt0725]

I rarely do portraits since my daughter hates being my practice model but she agreed on Monday that tonight we'd take a few shots at it. Little did she know we would spend the last 27 hours awake due to one family ER visit after another ...but she still held to her promise after all calmed down at home!


So for this shot ...the model isn't anymore awake than the photographer!

Very nice picture Denise. I really like the contrast in the look she has, slight smile, no expression in the mid-face (exhaustion?) and then looking off to the side. It is a very interesting looking portrait. More importantly, I hope everything is ok.

Nice shot Denise. Good post-processing, too.

@ddt0725 - Great shot Denise! The lighting and expression tells it all. I hope your family is doing alright.


@TNTPOP - Oww!!...or not so much?

You got to ask my dad if it hurts ;-)


He says its like a strong pressure, as its a baby grass snake there is no harm or danger.


I have other shots but my 450D + ef-s 18-55 is not fast enough. I could do with a sharper lens and external flash.


Hey @Sean any advice on flashes? I posted a question about flashes in the gear section ;-)

For not being fully awake you did a great job here.


My daughter seems to always agree but after about 5 min. she's board and ready to quite
