1st - "Jeannette" by davev

My weakness is photographing people.
I'm not good at getting them into the right position.
These are of course 3 of my better shots.

(all Graduation shots)

She really likes to read.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II
1/200s f/16.0 at 63.0mm iso100 full exif

Great shot! wouldn't have guessed senior pics would be your weakness by looking at this one. Fake it till you make it ;) being positive, confident and calm on set makes up for any little things you might be worried about.

I've seen this type of shot done many times and yours is very good. The only thing I might find to tweak would be the light on her cheekbones is a touch hot. Still very good work! Paul

No, I'm sorry, yours is simply immeasurably better than the David Hill Effect...they seem to be different beasts entirely. Traveller

Thanks guys, I wish I could take credit for thinking this up, but I can't.
I saw a shot, (that looked far better than this one) that was made by Dave Hill.
He's known for processing his images a certain way that folks call "The Dave Hill Effect".
Do an image search of it and be ready to say wow a lot more.
I looked earlier today for the shot that I was trying to emulate.
If I find it, I'll post a link to it.

Thanks again for looking and commenting. ~davev

Wow! That's my first, second, and third impression. Then my wife walked by the computer and said "Wow!"

Just Excellent...I love the hidden light...a stroke of genius. Traveller
