I had my first "photo shoot" with my friend Mairin - she was willing to pose and have fun for a couple of hours while I snapped away. This was my first attempt at a session with someone where the whole intent was to take pictures (as opposed to pictures of my family, etc.) and it was a lot of fun. After reading a bunch of stuff on this forum, I realize I made some mistakes that I'm looking forward to correcting next time, and would definitely like some further feedback/critique/comments on areas for improvement. One thing I know for sure is I need to get a more flexible lighting setup - I think I'm going to start with a flash bracket and go from there - I definitely had a hard time taking good portrait shots with my 580ex on the camera due to the shadows from the side.
Very little PP on these - mostly just adjusting levels, WB, etc - shot in RAW. All were taken with a Canon 20d, either with Canon 50/1.8 or Tamron 18-200.
Looking forward to hearing any suggestions/critiques.
Thanks for looking,
Scott

#2 - don't like the bright lighting on her forehead/upper lip in this one, but otherwise I like it OK
