1. Fancy that....you came to see us. That 's great, and you have
such a fun photo in tow. Very very nice, you took it and that is not you?
Hang out and get to know us. I have learned and looked and had so much fun here.

2. Sudsy!!
Well, around here we aren't allowed to say "stunning." Welcome!

I am late getting my car tags, and am going to wait in the DMV line today. I'll pick up my number and start taking pictures to entertain myself. There are a few trees around. I might take a "green" picture. Anyway, your picture reminded me to take my camera.......

7. Nice shot!
If you are looking to move the subject out of the dead center of the frame, cropping it on the right at the edge of the wall might work well.

Hi, im mkultra and im an alcoholic. wait, wrong forum.


Ive been an amateur photographer for many years. This pic was shot with a Nikon D60 at 1/1250 shutter speed ( probably should have been 1/2000)

I also shot with a Nikon 10mp point and click, a Minolta X700 35mm and a Mamiya C330 Medium format.

18. It does seem a little over exposed.
However, it does nicely show off her eyes!

I am still working on the fill flash thing for getting the flash power balanced with the distance and shadows.

20. Many moons ago i had a flash with a diffuser that would exetend out
from the flash bulb. It claimed that it could be used to adjust the flash peak distance but i never really played with it.

15. Welcome to the best group on DU, mcultra,
and that's a very, very cool shot. Too bad you didn't find us in time to enter the "summer" contest.

and never found these guys. This is a great, and very supportive, group. You're gonna fit right in. Nice shots. I'm using a D60 too.:hi:
