> Your flash presentation is a bit heavy but that's not a big deal... Thanks. I'm working on it. It's actually an automated template from Photoshop CS2. I just haven't gotten at the source code just yet in oder to make some adjustments. In due time, I hope.

Wonderful. So light, so informal, so alive. Your flash presentation is a bit heavy but that's not a big deal...

Re: GESO: Photo Shoot #2
Wow... Great advice, Bruce. Looking through the images again, I see exactly what you mean about her being just a little too far back. Makes him much more prominent in those images than he should be. Well, with some luck, I'll be off to shoot another couple this weekend so I will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks again. Jerome PS.

Re: GESO: Photo Shoot #2
The best part overall is that you were able to show some genuine spark between them. That is half the battle. When shooting people in poses (even casual) little things count. In the shots where she is kind of looking over his shoulder (several of them), it would be better to actually have her lean out and come around just a little more. His face obscures hers just a little too much. Basically you are tying to put the faces on about the same plane. It also helps for relative sizes of the faces. A little more like this: http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/kuresa_0050a.htm http://www.daytonphoto.com/Galleries/Steele/steele_0391.htm The third shot - what I call the near/far shot seems a little disjointed - basically two people showing no interest in each other. I would usually have the far one look at the near one in some kind of loving gaze like this: http://www.daytonphoto.com/Galleries/Latham/latham_0314.htm http://www.daytonphoto.com/Galleries/Bullock/bullock_0127.htm Remember that there is no single way to do things. These are just some suggestions. I think it is a great idea you had to be able to get some practice without expectations being too high. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, September 25, 2007, 4:12:34 AM, you wrote: J> Firstly, thanks to all who responded to my initial posting (Photo Shoot J> #1) concerning the wedding I got to shoot a few weeks ago.
