Self portrait, shot with 5 second timer, while doing a lighting test. I liked how it turned out.
I learned a hard lesson last night: portrait photography requires a whole different skill set than landscape photography. I spent a good hour with Alicia doing portrait shots of her, only to get frustrated with my lack of posing and lighting skills. I think I need to take a class on posing or something. Of all the shots we took, I really only like 2 or 3 at most. I'll probably put one of those in the gallery section shortly. Oh well, at least the practicing is fun. If only Jillian would work with me for more than 3 minutes at a time!
