Thanks again, Paul. I have started shooting in RAW, but just haven't
had much to shoot of late. Also, I really need to get more memory for
my computer before I can do much work with RAW files. I only have 1 GB
at the moment, so the files tend to be a pretty big drain on my
resources. I'm hoping after Christmas that'll be less of an issue, though.

I agree that the true beauty is in the moments captured, but I really love the
rendering as well. Maybe -1/2 step on exposure compensation to start with?

Perhaps. Although it can be done in rendering as well if you shoot RAW. You
just want to pull down the midrange and shadows. I would shoot some sample
shots of a willing subject and experiment with exposure and conversion until
you get the look you want. Of course, getting that all the time isn't easy,
because the camera will move the exposure around a bit. You have to know how to
turn the knobs to compensate. That requires practice and study.

you're talking about the rendering, It's a matter of emphasizing midrange and
shadow through exposure a bit on the minus side and consequent deep skin tones
and shadows.

Hi all,
I stumbled across this link the other day looking for something interesting to
post on my Facebook page, and was just struck by some of the images. There are
a few that really stood out to me and I was hoping someone might be able to
tell me how to go about approximating the effect:

Here are the particular images:

I just love the overall tone of the images, and especially the skin tones --
the third image being the best exemplar of what I'd like to accomplish. There
just seems to be so much depth to it. Any ideas how I might go about achieving
that?
Thanks!
Walt
