Another Arizona POTN get together (3)?

Hatch,
How is the Computer build going??

Ok, so I haven't dug into photoshop w/ these yet... I'm bored @ work, so I figured I'd play with these a little.

My little sister is a senior in highschool at the moment, so we went out yesterday and took a bunch of senior portraits [presents for her, since I'm a starving college student ] Anywho, here are some of my favorites. I've never used photobucket before so i hope this works... and resizing these on here makes them look crappy... because I probably have NO idea what I'm doing hahaha.

I took these with my new xsi [Still trying to figure it out lol] <3

THANKS FOR LOOKING!!! I would appreciate and feedback

Hatch,

Case arrives tomorrow and the rest on Tuesday... if all goes well... maybe by Saturday I will be ready to go LOL

Looks like you had a fun day out Kamrie. I like the 1st shot... the tilt is fine. The second shot you have some wide angle distortion going on shooting at 18mm. Notice how long her arms look. The last 2 look nice. I'm sure she will be pleased with these.


For the resizing... Flickr does a pretty decent job and it is free if you ever want to give it a try... pretty much all I use...

Have fun!
Hatch

Thanks hatch! I did notice that! There is another one where her legs did the same thing, they look stretched...

We definitely had a fun time

Those look really good Kamrie.

Thankyou!

Here's some of my favorites so far, if anyone is interested in taking a peek

Like the tilt on the first, were you at the Heritage Center and Scottsdale Library? if so busy day!

Thanks! Yes, we went to Heritage Square and the Science Center... then we drove out to the Scottsdale Civic center VERY busy!! =D

Sunday October 11th 3PM We'll start off with a Sedona Shootout and Bar B Que at the Crescent Moon State Park. AKA Red Rock Crossing this area is one of the top ten most photographed places in the country. Bring your family and swap shooting family portraits with each other for your christmas cards. Your family can enjoy the red rocks

Monday October 12th 9 AM - 5 PM - Lifestyle Portraits... Embracing and Controlling the Environment.


The class will cover exposure and light control outdoors and in homes (natural conditions and electronic flash). We will spend significant time on general composition and family portrait posing and composition. The class will also cover the “process” of creating purchasing desire to inspire sales of wall décor and the sales scripts used that aid in sales closure. The class will consist of a combination of slide lectures and hands on demonstration.

Looks like the AzPPA will have a group of folks there the time we were thinking about going.... hmmmm Maybe we should all become memebers?

Jay... if you want to strobe outdoors... we have enough gear in the group to practice... would save some cash?

I appreciate the offer Frank but I think a "controlled" educational environment (with no expectations) will be of benefit to me. The classroom session on Friday night should be worthwhile as well.

I need a "cherry popper" where I'm among similarly skilled shooters and it's ok to goof before trying a shoot where it matters (even if the end result is TFP.)

Think of this as my first time out of the nest... Right now, virtually everything related to portraiture is just theory to me. This will be a good opportunity for me to see if I actually know what I think I know.

Wish I could join you Jay.

I've gone on a strict budget since the Mrs. determined that we need a new house.
