I've learned a lot about event photography going through this set of pictures. One big thing is to go through and do the good shots first. I should probably trim those 100 shots down to about 12. There is also a lot for me to learn about using a flash. It's not usually light enough for me to use a flash, so I don't have much practice. Yes, I said light enough, if you use a flash when it's too dark, people doing slow sexy dances get a bit cranky. > ponderous, but there are some really good shots in there.

There's one lass that I really want to do a photo session with sometime. Johanna looks like a Valkyrie. She is a bit over six feet tall and competes in crew on her college team. I knew that she was heading off in the next week or so to spend the summer training, I just found out last week that it's for the Olympic team. > > ;-) > > cheers, > frank > > -- > "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
