I thought the toughest part of this challenge was to answer the question! What does bring me luck? Well, I don't really believe in all the luck or bad luck stuff. So, I don't have a lucky rabbit's foot or horseshoe or hat. After discussing the question with My Man...I figured out that the best thing that has ever happened to me is meeting My Man and marrying him! He's brought me to the happiest time in my life...that's pretty lucky!
Whew! Ok that was on Friday...now I have to photograph him...eek!!! I've never done a portrait...intentionally. The weather has been pretty uncooperative and I opted for an indoor shoot...I'm NO GOOD at this!!! I quit after 50 shots and didn't get anything I liked.
Ok, let's try again this mornin'...the winds blowin' like a son of a gun, but the sun is shining. That shoot turned out just as bad as the indoor shoot...I don't know crap about photography and it's very frustrating...all my reading is for not...sigh.
Well, I picked one photo from the indoor and one from the outdoor shoots...please give me some pointers...signed "in need of a lot of help" ;~)
I liked this one because of the silhouette on the wall behind him.
This one has a lil' bit of an angle to it that made it more interesting.
Great photos you are doing a fantastic job with your camera!
ReplyDeleteOh, my...what a handsome good luck charm you've got!
ReplyDeleteI like photoshop...you can lighten and darken and soften...and craquelure :)
Great photos! I mean really, really good!
ReplyDeleteI like both photos and I think it is sweet he is who you photographed. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThey're both good. Something I like to do with a portrait is to blur the background as much as I can (create a shallower depth of field. Ed? HELP me explain myself).so the subject is the main focal point.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny but somehow he looks like I would have pictured him (I've never seen his photo before):)
What a wonderful smile he's got. He's one handsome hombre!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried using 'antique' or 'black and white'? I bet they'd both look great, too, using those effects. :)

Great photos, your man looks like a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteWell I think you did really good! I like the first one! Keep shooting! :)
ReplyDeleteThe portrait is great. see ya next week.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job with your portrait shots, probably helps that your subject is so handsome!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are very, very nice portraits. Well done!
ReplyDeleteAww, that was what I was going to pick as what brings me luck too! I also don't believe in the good luck, bad luck thing so I just didn't think to participate in this Sunday Still. Your portraits are good. I think since most portraits are taken with a zoom lens it's a photo type that is hard to replicate at home, but you did a good job. I love how he looks different in his outside pic, like you caught a different aspect of his personality.
ReplyDeleteBoth of those pics are really good!! And he's a good looking guy :)
ReplyDeleteHaving just discovered your blog recently, I think your photography is coming out great
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love your blog. Very charming and fun to read!
