And I'm not sure how I got the float plane. I think it was a Ted Grant "Look at that-click" moment. Phillipe: Great suggestion. Like this? <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/AleksJennyReception/L1008469-ClonDodg2-w.jpg.html> I don't know if you noticed this, but there is someone's more distant face poking out of the man's profile on the right. That kind of spoiled the picture for me, even though I love the couple's expressions and had thought about working it up in B&W. This is why I didn't do anything further with this shot until you mentioned it. Getting rid of the extra face is beyond my cloning skills. I did clone out a glaring reflection just to his right (on the speakers), and dodged the woman's face a bit. You are of course right about fill flash helping in this situation, but it also would have added another color temperature to the mix (very yellow golden-hour light plus deep blue sky). Interestingly, the pro photographer had a flash, but like me, she didn't use it until well into the night. Situations like this make me long for B&W film, where you could expose only for the faces, and just burn in the background later. Maybe I should invest in an aluminized-fabric reflective shirt. :-) --Peter > This one, > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/AleksJennyReception/L1008469.jpg.html > crop the top and turn it BW, it's a sure winner :-) > OTT I think that due to the difficult backlight outdoors, a tiny bit > of fillflash might have helped the ladies complexions ... Anyhow it looks like it was a memorable and very enjoyable party :-) Thanks for sharing Peter Bien cordialement de Metz Philippe Le 5 sept. 11 ? 17:38, Jim Nichols a ?crit : > Hi Peter, > > "Girl Talk" is a great shot, capturing the animation of the subjects. > > The float plane shot must have required some quick reflexes.
