2nd time doing outdoor shoot and 2nd time posting

[Darrin Spencer]

Okay, this is my second outdoor and this is also the second time I have ever posted a picture, so I hope I do it right. Last time I posted a pic, you had to click the thumbnail shown. There are two pics so any comments or suggestions would be helpful, and I look forward to taking my bashing?

Darrin,

First of all, cute little cowgirl you got there. Nice images... wished there was a little bit of reflected light on the face in the image where she's on the tractor - the contrast between the sun hitting her left shoulder/arm and her face is a bit much, IMHO - a reflector would have kicked a bit more light in there so as to see that lovely face the better.

There may be other ways, but you can get around the thumbnails being posted if you link to an image that's hosted off this site - right now, you're linking to an image in your portfolio, and I BELEIVE that'll always show you a thumbnail.

For example, this one is hosted by charter.net, my ISP at home - they automatically give customers 20 MB of web space that you can use for whatever you want - and since I don't use a personal web site there, it makes a pretty good hosting spot for my images:




As you can see, I'm partial to cowgirls, myself. This is Jill, shot at the Fort Worth stockyards.

Thanks for the comment and I will try that next time. I really wanted to wait for about another hour before we shot these outdoors, but we had to deal with a time issue, but you live and learn.
