Hi Sue,

I'm into photography, but normally discuss it in the Photography Group. I've not seen it discussed in here, but nothing wrong with it that I know of.

I used to do portraits (studio and natural light) as well as travel and landscape stuff. Really all over the map. It's one of those things I started in college and, while it was never really my avocation, I've never given it up.

I fondly recall my old Mamiya C330 back in the 2 1/4 days and had my own darkroom. Now, I'm fully DSLR and my darkroom is Lightroom and Photoshop. My how times have changed.

Just for grins, here are two portrait examples (highly cropped and downsized of course, due to TBD).

Nice work. These are beautiful. Were they done in your studio?

Thanks, and yes they were. I constructed an in-house studio in my home several years ago. I did the best I could with less than 10ft ceilings at the time until I moved recently. Now I don't maintain a studio, just the equipment.

Here are two shots of how it was set up - again, greatly cropped and downsized, detail is tough.

Very nice Ray!

Why, thank you Pelekia. (that's her proper Hawaiian name, Sue). For instance, Sue would be Ku. It's an OTG thing and probably soon to die. But since I started it, I occasionally recall it - and Felicia's name just sounds so lovely, like Felicia herself.

so sweet Lei. (he forgot to share his)

No, Pelekia will not die. In fact, I'm thinking about changing my name here to that! To be sure, Ray, check on spelling, ok? graci
