Not sure how professional these are, but here are a couple food and drink shots from this past weekend. First time using the camera for tabletop. Both shot with a Toyo VX23D and an Aptus II 5.

Here's another in the Lockheed series, a bit less literal than the last one.  Not a bad body for 70 years old.

Exactly what my wife says about me. But I'm only 49

110mm f2 @ f2.8

I like it...

Exposure, contrast, saturation, composition, pose, expression, separation of subject from background... you got it all right.

Were you lucky with the weather, or what lighting did you use?

Do you find that full-length child portraits are popular? (I shoot children full-length, ¿but ballerinas are different?

It was a very overcast day. I used a 200cm octabox to camera right, and a 1/30 exposure I think it was.

I am probably the wrong person to ask - I don't really do any portraiture work.

Nice portrait, Graham

[BobDavid]

Beautiful image, Mr. Ezra. I'm sure it prints equisitely.

Nice shot, Michael, but why does it make me feel so sad?

There is nothing unfriendly intended with this remark - which keys were you striking? I'm writing this with Duke Ellington on the machine - maybe that's a part of it for me...

Hi Rob,

motherhood IS a sacrifice...

I wanted to convey calm feeling of content of this delicate state of a woman fully submitting herself to the life change ahead of her.

Thank you:) the file is 39.5 MP, it does print very life-like

I have been thinking of using a CF39 and an H4D-60 on two Sinars, using my
Virtual Viewpoint Technique for this type of shot.

HAHA. Dick, sounds like you've trademarked that. I'm still waiting to see an example...

This can also be called "free nodal point" panorama - something that new AutoPano will support - for orthographic stitching

[James R Russell]

For all the non retouching people.

Contax, p21+ out of C1-v5, no retouch.

Is hat a halo, or is there banding in the background?
