My input..from a mom with a picky daughter..
I don't like the nose shadow on her cheek.
Light on right side a little too bright.
right arm is too sever.


Thanks Dria!
Points well taken for the first two.
For the third, just for clarification, you think the angle of her arm is too sharp?

This gal made a great model and the pictures turned out really well as well. I would like to see some others taken with her with a different back ground.


By different background do you mean not green space? Did you see the photos on page 2?

I do have another, but everything I have is in green space, that was the shoot that day, and never shot with her again..

left side of face (her left) seems a little dark-reflector might help, otherwise nice shot


Thanks Bunnye, I keep wondering if that her left side is too dark or maybe her right side is too bright. Thoughts?

I don't know what your background is, but the guitar photo puts you up there with the finest glamour photographers anywhere.......you have an eye, and your technique is just toooooooooooo nice.


Thanks for that! One of the things that I appreciate about photography is the ability to make one thing into another. Or at least make others not aware of what it really is. In the guitar photo she's actually leaning against the bathroom at the park. Not at all sexy, but when framed to hide all the telling marks it's not so bad. :) It does make me laugh sometimes though.

Do you work on glamour as a professional or hobby?

Thanks again!

My goal was to focus on the positive...I wasnt really thinking about daisy duke...It was just shouting crotch too loud for me...It was nice and sexy I thought..then not so much.

I liked fall colors and pond!

Im not good with all those numbers. Im on a laptop and I control minus when I feel the need to see a complete verticle.

Glad to meet you and welcome. Lots of things to see and learn here...enjoy.


Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion! I appreciate the different points of view so that I can understand how people are viewing the photo.

Hey Jude,
Dont think we met before?
Ok, so on my computer I have to scroll down on verticles unless I change up...so as it was I was scrolling.
I was happy, nice background, sultry smile, good lighting, maybe the face a little over exposed, blue and white shirt to match those eyes, soft belly...with lighting much better on this portion of skin, I can see arm fur and like it...still scrolling down, jean shorts...WHAT? NOT SHORTS? a crotch skirt with white denim pubic threads hanging from the skirt and exposed pockets... Thats where you lost me.
River NAN...not man.
Oh she looks great in blue with the guitar...
Hey Jude, br Dont think we met before? br Ok, so o... (show quote)


Points taken rivernan.
I can see the point about the hanging threads, and the exposed pockets. But I'll have to ask about the skirt as a whole. Do you just not care about this kind of bottom, or is it more about the miss match of the daisy duke idea and that look is always with shorts and this is a skirt?

As far as verticals go, these photos are only 533 by 800 in pixels. If you have to scroll very far to see the whole photo, then I have to wonder if your screen resolution is off. A 15" monitor should readily display a 1024 by 768 resolution, and 17" monitor should be able to display 1280 x 1024.

I'm pretty sure we haven't met, I've only been posting a couple of days. Pleased to meet you though!

Thanx for the info.

1000 bucks is a big difference, like a whole nother lens!!

I have also read many reviews, by professionals not just consumers, who say the non-IS is a little sharper due to the fact the IS has extra glass/elements, though I don't think most people could tell the diff.

Also, most things I'll use it for will require fast shutter speeds, making the IS obsolete. But I know there will be times when I wished I had it.


Yeah I'm sure you'll run into it more than you think. Of course if you never have it, you won't know what your missing. I use flash most of the time, and many would argue that I don't need it much either. The thing is that the IS is engaged as soon as you start to focus the camera, making it much easier to just view the subject before taking the photo. I've turned the IS off a number of times just to play with it, and find the camera shake at 200mm to be annoying compared to having the IS on.
It's by far my favorite lens.

Nice shots.

I'm looking into this lens or the non-IS version.

Only advice I can give you, put down the camera and take her to dinner!


If you can afford it go with the IS version. This is a heavy lens and so to hold it stead can be a challenge. Especially true if your working below a 1/200 shutter speed. With IS I can use the lens at 1/30 with out much of a problem. The IS is good for adding 4 stops if i remember correctly.

I hope that helps!

Love the subject and photo. Suggestion, If you had stepped to the left several steps IF POSSIBLE? That would had taken that branch out and filled the screen with the seed pods more color and reduced the dark area in upper left corner.


It's hard to remember for sure now (photo taken in April), but I think moving to the right or the left wouldn't have worked as well. I think the patch of flower heads wasn't very wide. Thanks for the suggestion though, moving to frame without the tree could have helped if there was room to do so.
