Not so new at photography. But, Beginning my exploration into the world of portrait photography. With my first portrait night at the Camera club. No idea how to pose a model. Though, I'm really pleased with this end result.

Thanks for all the encouraging comments. They are really appreciated. I really didn't have a clue what I was doing. It has been suggested that I should dodge and burn the high and lowlights. So I'm off to look that up....lol
