Don't be sorry Bruce. I asked for honesty. So thanks a lot for speaking freely. Your da maaan :-)
Despite this, I'm not sure if I agree with you point about making a male subject diminutive. But I _do_ think you are right about the size of the head. So I'll probably try to zoom in and back of a bit, next time I feel like climbing. See what happens then. BTW. I tried some slightly lower than eye level shots. But deleted them on spot. Because low angle made him look plump, because of the shape of his face. So I didn't want him to see them. -- MaritimTim http://maritimtim.blogspot.com/ 2011/3/24 Bruce Walker <[email protected]>: > On 11-03-23 6:25 PM, Tim Øsleby wrote: >> >> Meet my college Ole Dan Johnson (four picks) >> http://maritimtim.blogspot.com/2011/03/o-d-johnson.html >> >> I lust for comments.
