Hey, I was the one asking about *istD portraits. These look very nice. I especially the studio shots. The model is very attractive! She looks a little familiar...LOL. Thanks for indulging.

A few weeks ago... Well, here are some that I took today... The first gallery is a couple, these are their engagement pics. They suck majorly cause there is way too much flash in them. But, I guess that happens when they turn up at MIDDAY (4 hours late and then I still had to do her makeup which takes almost an hour itself!!) for their sitting. I had to use HEAPS of flash due to the hugemungo shadows on their faces. Remember we are in Outback QLD and at midday today it was approximately 42degrees celcius with barely a scrap of shade in sight. So, I found the only shade I could and spent the whole time swearing under my breath about how beautiful the light was at 8am when they were supposed to be there! Exposure varied greatly, but I think they were mostly around f16, 1/150th (using Tamron 28-200mm asph. f4-5.6, and also old manual Tamron 135mm f 2.5). Took a couple of shots without flash and the exposure was reading at f27, 1/750th!! There was waaaaaay too much light to be outside shooting bloody portraits! Oh, and they look a bit dark and over saturated on the web on my monitor, but when working in my lab's colour space in PS they look better... FYI, there is one shot amongst these that I think is hilarious, I am not going to point it out, but I am interested to see who notices it first... Here's the link... http://www.tanyamayer.com/boothgallery/index.html Secondly, I managed to rope a model into posing for me so that I could try out some studio stuff... Before you go looking for them, there are NO BUTT SHOTS (or fanny or whatever you refer to it as!) here, and no looking down her top either ok! http://www.tanyamayer.com/portrait8march04/index.html Comments, criticisms, praises, whoops of delight, cries of disgust, threats of lynching or even pleas that fairygirl be cannonised all welcome... ;-) tan.
