I don't think I've revealed this here.
I am working on becoming a professional photgrapher. A mid-life career change.
A frieind, Cindy Morgan, knew of this, and allowed me to photograph her. She needed a new headshot and I needed the experience.
Despite my crappy background, my inexperieince with lighting, and a growing but limited knowledge of my camera, we dived in and took about 400 shots.
We got about 25 good shots, and 1 that Cindy absolutely loved that is now her official headshot.
Take a look here. That's my shot at the top of the page! I'm so proud. I can do it!  order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

That's great Dave. I wish you the best of luck. What genre were you thinking about? Portraits mostly? Or Landscape too?
That's a great shot of Cindy. Her skin tone is excellent, plus the way the light reflects off her hair is awesome.

Anything I can do. I am going to attempt a staged photo idea that I had recently in Van Nuys next month. If that works, I am going to try several other ideas.
Right now I am just working on building my tools and my portfolio. I will do jobs for free until I learn what I need to learn. I just like the creativity of it all and the mix with my tech background. It brings my two sides into alignment.
As for Cindy's photo. The skin tone was helped with a bit of PhotoShop, but other than that, the hair, eyes and mouth is all my photo! Woohoo!where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

That's a great headshot of Cindy! Well done, DaveTRON!
She fits her old costume you say? We'll hear more about that later?
Perhaps we can see more of that later as well?

That's a great photo DaveTRON. She doesn't look aged at all.
I could suggest some of the anti aging suppliments I use, if you want to drop 10 years, and feel 20, just incase you haven't seen any of them.

Canon EOS 20D 8 mp Digital SLR. My new beastie.
Hot light (500W) directly in front/low, side lighting from 2 250W lights placed high. Reflector in her lap to bounce light up.
We were all shocked that we got that one since most of them were not nearly as good. We farted around with the lights too much. We got the shot in the first run and then blew everything else with lights switching around.

Wow, that really is a nice pic DaveTRON.
Good luck with the new career.
Oh yeah, Cindy does still look hot! And she fits into the old costume again? Sweet! Any chance of a pic of her in it?

Hey, I was just looked at Cindy's entry in the IMDB database and found that she's in The Midnight Hour, one of my all-time favorite made-for-TV movies!
It's been more than ten years since I've seen The Midnight Hour. Does anyone know if it's on DVD?order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

That looks pretty good. But here's a little CC:
Was the pic taken under fluorecent lighting or anything? I noticed that the overall picture had a yellow-orange tint to it. The best way to fix this is to bring it in to photoshop and colour balance it. The next thing would be is that there seems to be very little highlights in the pic. Instead, there's lots of shadows. Again. the best way to fix this would be also to bring this in to Photoshop and use the dodge tool (After you've colour balanced the pic) and put it on some of its lightest settings (Anything under 15% works nicely for this kind of thing) and then add highlights where you feel that they would naturally fall. I have a feeling by doing these two things, you can make this good pic in to a great one. ^^
Anyways, enough of my two cents.

Constructive criticism of Kaumi:
Isn't it just her hair which is yellow-orange and the background which is really tan?
The picture is absolutely perfect. The choice to compliment her hair color with the background makes for a very warm picture. Excellent resume shot (it makes for), too.
