Oldie Photos.

Looking back over a few pics I took of my daughter before her GCSE's, a little while ago now. She was doing a project and I came along, took advantage of the set up and snapped away.

These are lovely Julian (I think I have seen some on your Flickr site before haven't I?). The last three are particularly good and the final shot will be a great inside shot for her first CD! What was the project?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Stunning work. Really. Love the colour version of the first, mainly because the colours of her hair and trumpet blend so well together. She's a bonny lassie, clearly photogenic, and I think the pair of you have done really well here.

 

[Brian Moore]

Lovely set and model, Julian. The bokeh really works well here. Well done.

 

[Dave Green]

Super stuff!

 

[Hamish Gill]

I really like the latter 3 shots!
right up my road those are, they make a great set together too
yep yep yep really good stuff!!

Thanks, Pete you are correct a few have been on flickr for a while. I came across the raw files the other day and looked at them again in LR 4 wth the 2012 profiling. This time round I enjoyed them more and think I got more our of the Raw's than I did the first time round. I do occasionally go over old Raw files to see if I have learn 't anything over time to improve on them. I do believe that the software such as LR and Photoshop have advanced, in allowing us to get the most out of files, as camera technology itself. The jump from L3 to LR4 is huge, for at least the way I go about things.
Sadly Pete the CD is not happening, so there goes my hopes of living in comfort beyond my means, I need another cunning plan for that.
Brian you mention the Bokeh , surprisingly I did plan that by shooting into the sun. A low winter stark sun, sharp twinkles of light off of Damp and wet twiggy bushes, the sun was intense. You know that kind of low sun that blinds you driving at each end of the day, its good for pictures as its dramatic. Not often I try something and it works. Thanks Rob, Dave and Hamish.

I've only just come across these Julian and like the others, I think they are stunning. You are lucky to have a beautiful and willing model

Like #4 a lot - the lack of eye contact and the asymmetry with the hand to the face are very appealing
