Pat

My neighbor Pat offered to be my "assistant" at shoot..so I started by checking settings by shooting her. Thanks to Phil Howcroft @phil_howcroft for all the inspiration and advice on portraits...I really worked on getting the eyes in focus and getting some catch-light. Thanks, Phil!

Thanks for the "shoutout" . Well done, You did a good job with the eyes and catchlights madeline.Its a good portrait.

Just keep an eye on your shutter speed, you've dropped down to 1/25th of a second , which was OK because Pat was probably sat still. 1/25th of a second is too low for portrait worrk :)

Excellent result.. well done! You have got her to relax and produced a fine natural portrait. Wish I could do as well as this.

it also helps when you have a nice looking subject, one whose pleasant disposition shows, unlike the ugly divas in my office. :-) aces!
