I think that there is definite potential in using IR for interesting portraits. One friend really liked what my IR camera did, because in IR, all of the blemishes go away. I just realized that with working live view, I could just remove the IR filter from the sensor, leave the camera to work with both, and when I want IR only, if I put an IR filter over the lens, I'd still be able to see to frame and focus. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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.

People were begging her to pull the dress lower to reveal more skin. She was teasing and I snapped one while the others were busy flirting. > I have problems with the lighting in a couple where the lighting ratio > seems to be reversed; the part of the subject's face in focus and facing > us is quite dark.

I was basically just stalking around grabbing shots, people were setting up lights to look "right" generally from a very different position. Was just too much hassle to push into the pack taking into account that I was not one of the class. Point taken. The IR ones are IR - I could color them in by hand or just make them warmer. Thanks for pointing the second out, its way too easy to get carried away. > BTW, your link isn't loading up for me now (4PM EST), so I'm rather > going from memory (I saw these shots this morning). > > -bmw Should be working now. Thanks, your comments are much appreciated and help me look at those shots with a clearer head. kris -- 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.

I like the close framing, and the standout shot for me is #6. The girl's happy, mischievous expression makes this shot really engage. I have problems with the lighting in a couple where the lighting ratio seems to be reversed; the part of the subject's face in focus and facing us is quite dark. And of the two IR processed shots, the first is interesting, but the second one kind of creeps me out. The effect is cool, but strikes me as inappropriate for the subject, so the shot doesn't work.
