- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
This is not a candid portrait. This one shows you my god-son on his confirmation day, and his mother (who happens to be my best friend) had asked me on the spur of the moment if I could take some photos of her son for the Thank-You-Cards.
So although this was a "planned portrait shoot", there was NO equipment there, of course, other than my cameras. I took many more than these four, whole body pics as well, digitally and on film, and what I am showing you here are scans from prints - and all I can tell is that I used the on-camera flash to fill in and give his eyes some reflection ... I forgot about all the other settings, though.
What critique do you have - also the professional portrait photographers! - and what will I have to watch in the future (in which my equipment will NOT grow by anything, I'm afraid)...
(not the regular portrait style, horizontal pic, though I personally like this better than the upright portrait photos)
