AUG-2007 Robin Reid

Betsy Jacobson

Encinitas, CA

This weekend I’ve expended my photographic talents (read Photoshop) moving people around in an image my sisters took in Colorado. She wants one of the entire family in one shot for her Christmas picture. (Judy plans ahead.) The deed is done, however I am proscribed by her from posting it.

In lieu thereof I offer this candid of my friend Betsy with whom I “reconnected” (that is a touchy-feely consultant word for "met") again after a hiatus of several years.

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi ,Canon 50mm f/1.8
1/320s f/3.5 at 50.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great informal portrait and nice frame.Betsy does NOT want for eye ware - reminds me of my Ethel :)

This is a really great shot. The white against the black is difficult to balance; did you photoshop the background? Oh that's right, "only your hairdresser knows!!!!"

Go easy on the "touchy-feely" and "reconnect" when lovely ladies are involed! Very nice portrait! Great light and timing!

Coleen already mentioned Betsy's smile. That was the first thing I noticed, her wonderful smile.
