you the man ro1
like them all especially the last 1-unusual(shot from behind) but nicely done

all very nice, I like the different angles. However, to me, the first 2 seem to be a little TOO angled to the side, almost to the point where you have to turn your head as if you're looking at a picture that was shot vertically and had not been rotated.

The expressions are great, though, very well done.

Very nice John. The angle of the comp for the second shot adds interest to the photo, and looks good in B&W.
I think my fave of the group is the fourth shot in front of the tree.
While the third shot is also nice, I feel the background competes a bit too much with the subjects for the viewers attention. I think I would have liked to have had the couple a bit closer to the camera for that shot, and the background would have been blown out a bit.
It looks like this was shot on a rather large estate?

I really like the second one best except I have to fight the urge to reach out and straighten it.

Don't angle them so much. If you have ot tilt your head to view them correctly, you know you have it too slanted.

Number 4 is easily my favourite but I think number 3 would have been great without all that competing background. The first 2 could have been nice but I also felt the urge to tilt my monitor and straighten those pics out.

Overall very nice exposures.

Thanks!!! Those angles are a tad distracting now that you guys have mentioned it............was trying to add some spice to the shots :-p...........

Ro1

Yeah............an estate/garden in Long Island..........it was actually quite nice.

Ro1

Going real well here Roan!
Xlent!

ps - what'd you do with your 85mm f1.8 lately... do you need it nowadays?

Thanks Carzee!!!

My 85 f1.8 is sitting in a shelf........I will use it this weekend for a dance shoot. It's really the perfect lens for performance/fast moving subjects. I've now come to realize that the 1.8 and 1.2 are two different beasts...........you really need both!!!

Ro1

That reminds me - did I miss your thread showing off the dance shoot & rehearsals you mentioned 6 weeks back?

I only got a chance to shoot them during the final performance.

Ro1

Ahhh, so thats what you've been doing with the f1.8. Very very nice.

Hmmmm there is a 1.8 on Miranda's market... I might get my first tele lens.

OOHHHH............Good luck!!! It's a cracker of a lens...........you will love it.
