Hi Jose, I continue to admire your work. I especially like your photos of Mel. You capture all the right nuances. I have three teenage granddaughters and right now, they're my only models. I show them some of the poses you've used and try to emulate them. You've been a good teacher. I finally got to shoot the MkIIII on Saturday. It was the first time I'd shot the camera or shot lacrosse. I've got a lot to learn about both. It does track very well and didn't get confused by bright objects in the background. Have you solved the camera equipment in flight dilema yet? I live in the states, but haven't spoken to anyone recently flying with a lot of gear. Thanks for sharing, Howard

Andrea, thanks for the compliments. I just use USM in Photoshop.

Hi JMB! I love yours gallery, especially "stacey_1dmkiii", very beautiful light! and very sharp photos! can I ask you if do you have used any kind of unsharp mask or other "sharpen for web" process? THANKS Andrea

Guest		28-May-2009 03:08
Very very nice photos, especially of the models with the natural outdoor light.

Hello, JMB. I'm impressed with your glamour photography. It looks like you use real women that you would see on the street. One doesn't see too much of this type of photography anymore & it's tragic. Look forward to seeing more.

hi great shots - what is the market for these kind of images - is this private shoot or commisioned - if private who do you sell them to?

affian		12-Aug-2008 01:46
files that I post processed. I only use the RAW file if my exposure is off and also when shooting in the studio. so get back to me through this email affian_k1@yahoo.co.jp

jmb_56		17-Jul-2008 23:59
For Vic: thanks for the kind words. Congrats with the 1DMKIII! For outdoor shoots, I use 580EX + Photoflex Q39 softbox diffuser and Pocket Wizards. When I am using the 580EX on the camera I use Gary Fong's Whaletail studio version. Cheers, José

Thanks Paul. I must have used a circular polarizer only twice---to make the sky and the water bluer. Most of these images are jpeg files that I post processed. I only use the RAW file if my exposure is off and also when shooting in the studio. Jpegs are Canon Picture Style (Portrait mode). Yes, I add saturation either through FM Velvia Vision or Efex Pro 3.0. Cheers.

Nice work in all your galleries... I was just curious what you use for filters on your photos? Also do you add contrast and saturation on your camera settings to get that awesome look? Paul

Absolute great Portfolio !!!!!!!!!

Rodel		29-Jan-2008 03:26
Such great photos! Colors match, composition is so great and it blows me away. Keep up the good work man.

Jacques		26-Dec-2007 16:29
Hi, some questions : I noticed (looking at 40D pics) that you use mostly Aperture Priority. I find your exposures to be extremely good, as well as the colour rendition. Looking at the exif info it states that no flash is used, is that true in all cases ? Last questions: What Picture Style/s do you use when doing a model shoot and what settings do you use for Sharpness, contrast, saturation, etc. ? Your answers would be hugely appreciated. BTW, I think your pics are absolutely stunning.

Steve		22-Dec-2007 13:23
Hi, your model Cris is absolutely amazing........have you any more galleries of her in the pipeline? Keep up the good work!!!

very nice portraits, excellent work

jmb_56		11-Aug-2006 22:14
Hi Matt, Yes indeed. I don't have them anymore but I used to shoot with both the 1.4x and 2x TC on the 300/4 G and it worked. Mind you the AF slows down a bit especially with the 2x TC.

Matt Hopper		11-Aug-2006 17:05
Did I read somewhere that you got the Sigma EX TCs to work with your Minolta 300/4? I love the model/fashion shots; that appears to be your strongest talent.

Guest		21-Jul-2006 19:37
I have heard that you like Lisa. :) Checkout my site. More to come. Cheers. Thierry

Brett Hochkins		24-Jun-2006 06:22
Hi, how r u? My name is Brett from Australia. Its gr8 to look through the work of seasoned pbase veterans like yourself. U have many fine photos in your galleries, too many to comment on all of them but I tried! I hope one day to have an impressive body of work as well. Well done. (ps. Please let me know if you did anything with the photos I commented on. Take care B.)

jmb_56		11-May-2006 02:07
Thanks for the kind words Gary. Yes, I enjoy working with Lisa and hope to work with her sometime in the future.

Gary Boake		11-May-2006 01:44
Love your work. I'm originally from Hamilton so a lot of your sites are familiar to me and remind me of the beautiful scenery around the Niagara Peninsula. All of the girls are beautiful although I'm partial to Lisa as are a lot of your viewers. Thanks again from Vancouver Island where there are also some beautiful sights. Gary

Heather		04-Sep-2005 17:58
Excellent work!!!!! I love the shoot you did with carmen, she looks amazing. You captured her very well. I would love a chance to shoot with you! Email me back if you would like to see some pics. My name is venus_angel555 on musecube.com check me out Ciao

jmb_56		03-Sep-2005 22:27
Marcelo, my Maxxum 28-75/2.8 is pretty sharp! I carry this all the time whenever I have a photoshoot with my 7D system. I find that the results (in terms of sharpness) rival any of my prime lenses especially when I shoot at f/5.6. The bokeh is smooth and is a very good performer shooting wide open. Good luck. José

Marcelo Somerstein		02-Sep-2005 01:25
Thanks for the reply! How do you like your 28-75 2.8? Is it a good studio and general shooting lens? I've checked out reviews of all kinds, but nothing beats word form a good photographer with hands on experience with the actual lens.. I'm putting together my list to order this baby and all its toys as soon as possible. I can't wait to own the 7D :) Thanks again Jose!!

jmb_56		01-Sep-2005 23:19
Hi Marcelo, Thanks for the kind words. I have no experience with either of the lenses you mentioned. You should check out dpreview and go to the Konica Minolta SLR talk forum and get feedback from the owners of these lenses. Cheers, José

Marcelo Somerstein		01-Sep-2005 21:59
Nevermind my previous posting, I just read your response to the other user. I did notice several 17mm shots, though, and no 17mm lens listed. Have you had any experience with the Maxxum 17-35 D or the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 EX? Thanks again! Your photography is inspiring me to get this awesome camera!

Marcelo Somerstein		01-Sep-2005 21:53
Your photos are amazing. I'm about to go into digital photography as a serious amateur and I'm going with the 7D. I love that camera. Could you recommend a good set of lenses for this camera? Do you mind telling me what glass you use? Thanks a lot!!

Her,am Ratcliffe		20-Aug-2005 02:32
Jose, Try this, I like the results, for any size print. The change is not very much, so you may have to do the action two or three times. http://hem.bredband.net/content/canon/actions/omniedgesharpen.htm Love your galleries & my 7D. Herman

Guest		20-Jul-2005 16:14
Hi Josi, would you be willing to sell a print or two, printed in a profesisonal lab, 8x10 or similar? I live your macros and would be willing to purchase some. Please let me know. My direct e-mail is dimitry.polyntsev@frx.com Thanks!

jmb_56		15-Jul-2005 20:31
For Dan Hollerud: I used various lenses for my glamour shots. However, the staples are: Maxxum 28-75/2.8 D, Maxxum 85/1.4 G(D), Maxxum 50/1.4 and Sigma 70-200/2.8 EX. Best regards, José

dan hollerud		14-Jul-2005 20:10
can you tell me what lenses you are using for your glamour shots? I am thinking of buying this camera and dumping my fuji s3's....

J.C. Richardson III		19-Jun-2005 01:21
