Been offline for a few days; clearly I've missed a lot. Nice stuff, as usual.

For those who enjoy classic western movies based on historic events. The graves of the ones killed at the Shootout at the OK Corral

@dissent: that's a nice shot.

@ghardiardja nicely done. I may be trying this with my wife in a few months. Congrats btw if that is your child to be.

@squamishphoto just an observation. Is her lip/cheek area yellow in comparison to the rest of her skin tone in the face?
I noticed on some of my session they were also yellow spots

@pierre @dissent great isolation.

Another engagement photo. Overcast day.

Overcast days are great for outdoor portraits: sky becomes a huge softbox.

Thank you proudgeek,SquamishPhoto, and Flickr viewers.
@ Vipmediastar_JZ I suspect that the green/yellowish color casts on the cheeks are from the primarily green environment in which you're shooting. Short of trying to overcome it with flash the best way to prevent it is probably to have a large white reflector on the ground below & in front of the subject. It can be corrected in LR or PS by making a skin selection and using the hue adjustment sliders to pull it out.

I really like all of these photos here. @ Autofocus, thats an excellent capture - looks natural and not posed which is what you'd want to go for in an engagement session.

Pierre

Thanks for the comment....

One more of my favorite model...

Jimo, those rain shots are really good.

This was shot through dirty glass, but LR4.4 made it possible to get to this point....

A pair of goldfinches. The male looks a bit haggard, probably molting to his non-breeding colors.


D7000, 70-300 VR, cropped

proudgeek

Went down to the water to shoot the setting crescent moon against the sunset (more of those on another day) when I noticed these geese. It all happened so quickly that I barely had time to zoom in past 26mm. This is an example of the cropping power of a 36mb image.

I liked this image because it was a nice solitary moment for the couple. Taken away from the hustle to just spend a moment together. The image was scarred with conflicting light temps so I went black and white.
