Canon 5D
focal length: 20mm
exposure: 1/25 f/5.6 ISO 50
Lens: Canon 17-40L
ND Grad 8
Nice use of grad ND filter
Six tenths of a second for that one I think. I had some at 30 seconds, but had some exposure issues with the longer ones (the fun of learning a new camera!) (Ok, actually the laziness of not fully calculating the exposure change...)
^^^ Hmmm... the smile says one thing, but the eyes say another...
What was so good about the pix you had of the other girl was the way her expression was totally convincing. She just seemed so very natural in front of the camera...
I wanted a photo of this scene, to show traces of three separate Roman camps, superimposed by a medieval village and field systems. In the middle of the day, without shadows, the earthworks just 'disappear'. This shot was about an hour after dawn, so the side-lighting gives a little 'modelling'. An aerial shot would tell the story better...

I have to agree, an ariel shot would not be better. I hate to nit-pick cause i love all your work, but the little blue tractor top is a bit distracting
Clickable!
A little constructive critique: her eyes look a little over-processed to me.
Random Biker I saw over on East 24th and Lexington.
Looking into getting a real camera soon have narrowed my choices down to 5D Mark II and Lumix GH1. Better images are COMING!

I agree that the other girl (the blonde) was much more natural in front of the camera, but what can I do about that?
I wish I could agree with you, but I can't. The thing is, I didn't do anything to them. The only editing I do is in iPhoto (not enough money for other software), and all I do in iPhoto is the occasional "Enhance" and add some temperature.
Thanks for the comments, I'll try to post a better one tomorrow!
Your zoo shots are quite expressive, and bring a smile to my face as well
Thanks RHVC59!

This is great. I think you did a fine job while keeping both feet planted firmly on the ground. I'm an incurable history buff and really miss England. Do you have a link to more information on this location? You've really got me wondering which bits go to which camp/village.
Tell some jokes while you're shooting, shoot a bit after the initial smile when the muscles relax some, tell her what a great job she did, then nail the shot...
That's fine, just thought I'd offer my $0.02. It's up to you how much salt you put with it. What I said was meant as a critique, not a slight at all.
I'm sorry if I came across as a little harsh. I only meant to say that her eyes are just naturally very blue. Thank you for the critique!
