    Now Swartzy, how bout some tech info... what gear? You can't just post this amazing stuff and act like it came out of the blue. deal.gif

    I am as speechless about #4 as the title itself. Just add a catchlight to the other eye.

    In #6 he's thinking... The word to describe these pjs is on the tip of my tongue... what's more, I've lost my feet!

    #7 needs a title?... what'll ya pay me, dude?

    Thanks for brightening my mood! iloveyou.gif

    Wow! Incredible color temp, Steve. It really seems exactly perfect- and who ever gets that!? I guess you, you stinker.

    My fav is #2 and you have a perfect title for it.
    But tell him not to drink either cup!

    Thanks NeilL........well, camera gear....simply a 5D with the 28-135 for most of these. Once in a while I'll throw on the Tammy 28-75 f/2.8 as I did this evening..both are quite nice portrait lenses. I will aquire a 24-105 eventually but dang, that silly 28-135 is pretty sharp (got a great copy).

    A great deal of his gallery was shot with a 40D as that camera is a wonderful piece of equipment as well. Since he is running around and at close proximity, I have to forego the 70-200 but do use it outside (it's Winter in MN now..so that's out..until we go sledding..soon I hope :D).

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Hey Fred..thanks! Even though I may be biased, I have to agree with you.....one of the best looking kids I've had the pleasure shooting...get to do it almost every week now...whoooohoooooo!

    Color temp???..hehe.....that's why they made RAW :D. Trust me, there are times it gives me fits, especially with 3 different light sources.

    Swartzy, I meant these as titles, in case I wasn't clear, like

    #6 "The word to describe these pjs is on the tip of my tongue... what's more, I've lost my feet!"

    #7 "Needs a title?... what'll ya pay me, dude?"
    "Snow. Ice. Slow!" "Half-winter. Half-moon. Half-asleep!"

    Dave, He is absolutely priceless. You have the perfect model for your exquisite images. He's all you need for portfolio material and he plays it well. Can I borrow him (lol)?
