Excellent set! I love the dramatic look you were able to achieve in the last one with the shadows. :) When you going to teach me how to do such powerful shots? :)
Thanks Bruce, glad you like them.
Teach you?? who am i to teach someone, i'm just an amateur myself. All i do with them is change them into b/w, and play around with brightness and contrast, till i like what i see, no more no less.
Thanks again Bruce, i'm flattered by your comment!

another excellent set! I like #1 as it almost tells you a story. You can sit down by yourself, or continue doen the path, to see what else awaits you. Bravo! :)

so dream-like! were you in a car or something when you took this picture?
Thanks very much !! :-)) No i wasn't we where just standing there in the bird park and suddenly it came out of no where and flew past us like a rocket. So it's more a lucky shot than anything else :-)
Hope all is well with you Bruce, have a great weekend!

stunning collection! I really loved #3 and #17. I thought you did a great job on the lighting in the pics in the loft. I wish I had room for a mini-studio so I could work on lighting myself. It's tricky, but you pulled it off quite nicely!
Thank you very much for your kind words Bruce!! Much appreciated.
I know they are technically far from perfect, but one has to start somewhere i guess, and as it is my first attempt, i can't really complain. But as you say, it is very tricky, and there is so much to think about when doing it. Just simple things like moving the lights when they take a different pose for instance, it can make a world of difference.
The loft (studio) isn't 100% ideal, (i have length enough, 10metres, and the width is okay 4.5 metres, but i'm buggered with the roof, which is high enough in a way,3.5metres, but it starts getting narrower to the top as from about 1 metre up, so i quickly start losing on the width, an therefore i cant hang up my backgrounds, which are 3 meters wide, high enough. So i have to work in the width instead of the length, which makes it far less spacious. But i guess it's better than nothing, and i'll get used to it i suppose. It's just getting the lighting set up properly and as i want it to be for certain shots i have in my head. Oh well, as the saying goes, practise makes perfect :-)
Hope you are able to put up your one studio one day.
Thanks again Bruce, your comments always make me want carry on and do better :-))
