Thanks click! A tad out of focus.

I like the portrait too. Focus is overrated in portraits anyway!

Victoria.

I met Victoria in the parking lot of our local Wal-Mart. She agreed to pose for shots in a lot very nearby where there were some trees. She wasn't worried about time so I pulled a flash, stand, umbrella, and my camera out of the trunk of my car.

I was given some great advice. If I'd stepped back little further I'd have had both eyes in sharp focus.

Canon 5D mark III (1/160th, ISO 200, manual mode, pattern metering.) on tripod.

Flashpoint Streaklight 360 with a diffusion dome and 72" umbrella.

This picture is # 02 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page: <a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers/">www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers/</a>

Thanks for all the great advice Pookie.

My first portrait shoot. I did this for a friend who didn't like the results of the senior portrait photographer she hired. I didn't see the other shots, but told her I would be happy to shoot her son as long as she understood I'm not a professional portrait photographer. End result was she was happy.

Great job! It's tough when someone asks you to produce improvements on a previous project and come through as an amateur when that isn't something you're strong or confident in. I hope it wasn't too stressful and you had some fun.

Thanks! It was stressful without knowing what she didn't like about the other photos she'd paid for. In the end it was fun and a great learning experience for me.
