The hair light is just right and the snoot on the face works off center better than I think it would had you centered it. (Yes, the scan itself is weak, but we are all having some problems in that area it seems.) ;) > ...showcases my first professional portrait session, it felt a > bit scary! My first photo instructor (who had been a shooter for 45+ years) said that if the "light butterflies that live in your gut before you see the finished product go away, you have become too cocky and your work will start to really screw up." Knowing that you are only as 'good' as your last photo job keeps my butterflies alive and fluttering. (and I still manage a small screw up now and then anyhow.) >there was a great relief when the negs came out all right. That 'relief' is half the fun isn't it? Good work. Michael
