Engagement Photos from fall...

[LaFoto]

I really like their pose in the last photo!
They are a bit flat in contrast, it is no one's monitor giving off the impression.
I am SURE the prints are all good! Crisp and sharp and all that.
Scanning in prints - so I find of late - practically ruins a good photo. My (still to be considered new, but it is from my birthday before the last, i.e. from December 2004) scanner no longer satisfies me at all.
And I was so happy about it when I first got it. Seemed so much better than its predecessor. Can they sort of "decalibrate" themselves? So that they require some fixing after a while? Could that be the reason? For my "Leica"-sunset photos in the Landscape Gallery show only too clearly that all I nowadays get are soft scans --- from the crispest of prints!

I really like all of them but I think the last one is the best and looks the most natural, reason being is the subjects hands are in her pockets in all other shots. Usually Excellent work all around though.

Thanks for the complements everyone! The last Picture was one the girl wanted to do, we walked past this tree and it had a picnic table next to it so while I was checking out this gazebo she hopped up there and said she wanted her picture there I said good and had her boyfriend hop up on the table. then I stood on a small rock wall on alittle bridge that crossed a creek right infront of the tree. Seems all worked out well.
I have a hard time shooting hands, so sometimes I tend to hid them... I seem to focus on them because Ive shot them too many times and they distracted from the rest of the image... danm hands!

Excellent!!! I enjoy the locations and their earthy feel. Whoever decided on those sweaters gets extra credit. They are perfect.

I tell you what, it was fall... and chilly but Ilove people in Sweaters... And I refuse to shoot people wearing giant LOGOs... thats a big NO NO in my book! Although I think if his girlfriend didnt make him he would have worn a tiedied shirt... they are "earthy people" and thats why I love them...
thanks for the complement!
