p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Test Shots

I wanted share a few test shots. My daughter and her boyfriend often assist me in shoots (the very few, I have

) and I often use them for test shots. My daughter is also into photography. Sometimes I am conflicted when taking their photos. But, most of the time, the artist in me overrules the Dad in me, and I often ask them to pose for test shots. Here are a few taken recently I wanted to share.

Very well done. I love the luminosity of these shots, especially the last one. Very painterly.

I like 3 the best. 1 would be awesome if you had gone and snapped that twig off of the tree - the one that comes down in front of her face and across her shoulder. FWIW

I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something, but why would you be conflicted about taking pictures of your lovely daughter?

THese pics are awesome. No, 4, the setting is just as good as it can get. I'd like to see a better pose from your daughter, as it looks like she's just standing there waiting for you to take a picture. With just a better pose, I'd print No. 4 large and hang it prominently in the house. No 1 and 3 are awesome too!

Thanks frisc, you can see in #4 how bored she is of me taking her pics unfortunately. The conflict arises in me when taking pics of them together.

Thanks nextelbuddy, on these I don't believe I used any off camera flash. I use Lightroom and CS5 to process my images. Thanks again!

Thanks kezeka, thanks Ed! I just used LR and CS5, mostly levels to do the processing.

Is the sun glare/haze from post or natural? Do you remember what lenses you used for these? Look fantastic.
