I don’t have time now for meaningful critique but I did want to take the time so say congratulations.

Actually Ken, the whole thing was sort of eye opening for me. To answer your question though, these were shot in JPEG. I am quite disappointed in how these look on the post, because Driftwood in correct...they look very flat. I went back to the master files this morning and they hardly look like the same pictures.

There are things that I was quite pleased with, but on the whole I'm not even sure that I like the whole "glamour" thing. I loved working in the studio, loved working with the places the light fell, and the models with whom I had the opportunity to work were wonderful. Even so, my aversion to the mandatory Photoshop "improvements" just makes the whole thing feel empty. I understand that photographers have always mananged their darkroom techniques to get the most out of a photograph, but to me it is starting to sound like a crutch. I guess it all depends on the individual using it, but it does suck some of the fun out of it for me.

If I need Photoshop to make Tiffany look beatiful or bring out Kat's sensuality than it's time to take up golf again.

FORE!
