Nice. I did a senior session on Saturday using AL and fill-flash, but I really prefer the simplicity of AL alone. I need to work diligently on mastering that, but I'm having a hard time finding ready and willing subjects (don't want to burn out my son).

Gordon,

That top one rocks. If that were my kid, I'd have that printed to about 11x14, matted and hanging in the entryway...very nice work...very nice.

Your sons friends...and their friends and their friends friends. I don't know any kids at the school age that don't love getting pictures taken.

Nice job Gordon! Nice to see you posting more.

Or random people on the street that you walk up to and ask. It's all good practice.

I dig the lighting, DOF, and BW conversions. The tilt is a little too much for me in the first one though, I like the second one better.

These look great!
I agree with Jeff about the tilt, but I still like it.
