I was flipping through my photolog earlier this week and realized that it is, with few exceptions, one landscape after another after another. I know that specializing in one thing is fine and all but I was bored to tears and its MY photolog. People not emotionally invested in the pictures probably have trouble not nodding off before they can reach the dreaded [x] button to close the window.
I need to take pictures of people. I have terrible social anxiety and camera shy friends so I decided to get some practice on myself. My goal is to get comfortable enough to take more people shots. Some of my problem is shooting and some of it is processing since staring at people's faces on the computer screen illicits the same nervous response as interacting with strangers. I'm a strange duck, I know, but I'm working on it.
I'm posting three versions. I'm interested in come comments/criticism on the actual picture as well as what version works the best.
I need to work on my fill flash skills as none of the ones I used flash on turned out decent. This one was with the K10D, 31/1.8, f2.0, 1/125, ISO 100, on a tripod with remote and 3 second delay. Focusing was done as center point with the remote.
