About	Shot today, this is my 2nd cousin making his communion. This was shot under an oak tree - I got his father, Dean, to hold a make-shift reflector which bounced a lot of light back into his face. Aperature was left wide open to completely throw the background out. When I was tidying the image up later on in PS I noticed that the blue channel completely transformed the shot - in fact his mother Ann will probably say it looks nothing like him! Still I like shot and I have plenty that she will love too so we're all happy. If you look closely you can see my reflection in his eyes.

My printer is fully up and running again, canvas and watercolour paper, I'm switching to the Moad paper range - the quality is going to be shit hot especially with the new profiles and spyder pro. Got CS2 the other day but haven't had a chance to load it yet, PS I'm really looking forward to printing the photo of Dale, talk soon k

cheers Keith - no 16bit here - the D100 wouldnt work fast enough, one of the downsides to the camera. I've been shooting on TIFF recently too but the jpeg quality is fine .. I will be out to you soon to get these printed! As for b&w, well I've been threatening to get a roll of Neopan 400 for a while now. I will say though that I am starting to like this lens more and more ...

Talk soon,
Shane

super shot Shane, the eyes came out super. Imagine doing the same shot with bw film, digital is fantastic for bw portraits especially with the channel mixer - so many combinations and effects for bringing out or even hiding skin textures. Did you work in 16bit? Great shot, keith

Guess what he wants for Christmas!

Joking aside - If tihs doesn't get an award you can have my Villa in Barbados for a month. Larry

Blue is very powerful for skin in BW, on older people it turns faces into washed out rivers. Great photo.

excellent creation and PS effect, congrats

This could easily be mistaken for a Norman Rockwell painting. The freckles and the missing tooth add to his childish character. Great work!

lovely portrait, very good use of DOF and very distinct facial lines and texture.
Congrats
