[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Many have mentioned the bad background on my PAW #3 so I must come to my own defense and tell you what ISN"T in it that I was able to hide by moving my feet a shuffle to the left........there is a big parabolic heat dish directly behind Lauren's head (my office is a bit cold in the winter) hidden by her face and hair. Also, there is far better seperation between her hair and the pie safe behind her in the actual print than in this scan. Just so's you know I WAS working to get a good background...but in an office 13' x 9' it ain't no easy feat!

I can't believe you didn't set up a hair light : while she was on the phone so you'd be ready as soon as she hung up! :) : : I'd like to see something else in the picture as in week #2 so we have more : of an idea what just happened. It's like you cropped away the elements that : tell the story. Don't ask me how to convey in a picture what your words : did. If you figure that part out, let me know, too! :) In week #2, you : didn't really need a caption. Week 3 is just a portrait with a bad : background without the caption. It becomes special when you know the full : story. : : I'd like to see bigger pictures. It's like looking at snapshots held at : arm's length.
