I will comment to the first image.

Remember that when photographing models you deal with the perfection, and this is not an easy challenge.

Just two observations; Rosie´s left “bretel” is twisted at his shoulder (unpardonable). Other; move a little the upper illumination so, with a bit shadow in her left face side will improve a lot the image. Ah, don’t forget the background. Hide the window with a curtain or something so. The last one for Rosie; what will you do with her shoulder vaccine? Avoid this angle or make she show the other one. Well if I count good the obs. are four…

Have success with models.


Best regards.

Thanks Lilly for your words.

Here is another from grand mama Amalia (but not good enough for me).





Amalia´s house is at 10 minutes (walking) from the landing field, so the next time I fly to Chasquivil will visit my friend for some good photos.

She is always so kind when see me, and like´s much to converse all the time. All the day she is drinking “mate” and of course, the first one is for the visitant...

Thanks to all you for so kind and stimulating words.

I will tell a secret... (I am in the forum for two great interests; first for learn photography and second for learn English language to). So, C&C for any of the mentioned topics always will be welcome (don´t mention it).





This is a screenshot of how I do for write to the forum…


Best regards.

Apologize again for my bad English. I perfectly know that for appertain to an English spoken forum I must write the language with an acceptable level, as a consideration of respect to the other forum members.

I use for write to the forum, Microsoft Word 2007 with the orthographic and grammatical corrector set for English language. And for have more control I cross check my writes with Babylon 7 (on-line dictionary). Many times I have discrepancies with the MS Word corrector (perhaps here begins the misspelling or the bad grammar).

I apologize again for my bad English, but believe me; I do all the best for try explaining what I feel without offending anybody with my words and with my lame English.

Yes, Chris, “edification” is a lack of attention from my part. “Edificación” is the Spanish counterpart for “buildings” in English. Is my fault…

Edited my post for correct spelling.

Apart of this difficulty, I must say that I enjoy from this forum as when I shot with my K10D (and get a good photo)!


Best regards.
