These two shots are from our outdoor portrait assignment in our Bio-Comm Portrait class. I used a very familiar model who was easy to work with in a variety of locations with different backgrounds. The top image was shot with a decent amount of sunlight (4:45) behind her and I used a SB800 with softbox for fill. The image is a little flat, but still nice and soft with that northernly type light. The second image was taken somewhat later (5:20) and the day was turning rather dark. Had some light falling on the background, although not as much as I would have liked, and used the SB800 with a soft box for the main on this image. Both images were shot with a D200 24-85 Nikon set at 85mm ISO200. Yes, I did. My first true attempt at editing portraits with photoshop. So, please let me know in your comments if anything looks overdone and if anyone has any suggestions I am all open. Thanks to J. Rash for the 'skin so soft' action test it looks to work pretty well. Also, a big thanks to Emily for helping me out and being such a 'serious' model, great job.
