Nice, but why does it say anyone with a Canon DSLR can take a portrait? Can Nikonians not do portraits?

That statement is a lie. I tried taking a portrait with my uncle's 10 year old Canon D60 and every time I pressed the shutter button a little message would pop up saying "I can't let you do that Dave."

I just checked out the link. Neat stuff.

However, I do wish they had an example of a model who is not perfectly symmetrical and attractive.

The more unconventionally attractive a person is, the harder it seems to pose them. Lol
