 Thanks again for the feedback on the first Johanna pics.

 I updated the Johanna gallery with tree new pictures. (Same occasion and

 They make out the first three pictures.
 The first picture is the original as it was shot. The next two are two 
 different ways to crop it.

 I would be very interested to hear somebody else's view on the suggested 
 croppings.
 Do they, or any of them work at all?
 Would you prefer any cropped version before the original?

Thank you guys. Much appreciated.

Come to think of it, the lighting arrangement was kind of funny.
I had prepared for available light only, but she was late and we were fast 
losing light as the sun set.

I did have a flash with me but knew it wouldn't work well and a few full 
body flash shots turned out bad, as expected.
However I had brought along this flashlight (torch?) just because I knew it 
would turn dark. We were in a very rocky area with trees and bushes and it 
would be dangerous to walk back in the dark. It was a big, fat light with a 
handle.

Anyway as we finally lost light, I thought I'd try to give it a go with the 
flash light. However, I hadn't brought anything to hold it. Handholding the 
light in one hand and shooting with the other wouldn't work either.
I ended up sitting with folded legs, with the flashlight tightly between my 
knees, having to turn just my lower body to aim the light right, while 
trying to keep the camera still and focus. She also sitting down in front of 
me following my directions.
It was a completely knew, and funny feeling experience of body control and 
coordination to get it right, but I did get a handful interesting shots by 
this arrangement, the posted one one of the best.

Thanks,
Lasse

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the feedback.

You got yourself an icecream. In fact I didn't even have to go and buy it. I 
already had it in the fridge.
I made you a real big bowl of it . It's sitting right before me at the 
moment and it's all yours.
You can come and pick it up right away. Bring some girls too.
:)

Thanks,
Lasse
