Don't worry I remain totally committed to the shadow side while still learning other approaches and some new gear too (this last set you previewed was with only a single light that I will soften further for beauty portraits). I got Light-Eyes-Action tattooed on my forehead so I see it every morning too. Newer shadow sides here ;-) http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/148571637 http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/147838292 http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/148037380 *If you want to take more interesting pictures, stand in front of more interesting stuff* -- Joe McNally Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 7 February 2013 03:08, <tedgrant at shaw.ca> wrote: > Geoff Hopkinson SHOWED: > " <hopsternew at gmail.com> > To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> > Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2013 11:05 PM > Subject: [Leica] IMG: another new casual portrait > > > > I'm still developing and editing from my last workshop.
