We did get some beer in later on. I think Adam did fine, it's a guy thing in most portrait sessions. Takes us some time to warm up! But I was going against everything Adam was taught, he was taught not to look at the camera! Tripod would have helped with the canopy shots, but 3200iso worked out fine. In the bad old days they would not have attempted that shot! Why back in 2004 there' no way I would have shot at 3200iso. Crazy old times.
