Here is a shot i did last weekend at a mansion in the hills. I liked this location because of the windows and all the available light.I wanted to try my hand at available light portraits.

    It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it... :D

    Nice series!

    Sounds like you had a grueling summer - you need to learn to relax.

    Well, the girls and the mansion both look very nice, especially the perspective shots for the mansion- staircase etc., but the girls linger in the mind; must be your artistic ability.

    Nice shots!

    Gorgeous digs (and subjects...). Loved the Kimodo Dragon 'prop' with the one image.

    Whoah. Nice series. Although with these models, I'm not sure you could take a bad photo.

    Gorgeous girls, although some of the poses looked as if the girls weren't quite relaxed or comfortable with them. The one in the half-globe seat-thingy looked great; loved the pose.

    The skin tone on all of them is great, although in some of the shots I think the shadows look too intrusive. The one against the window is good, but I think I'd have cropped to just the head & shoulders (great lighting & modelling).

    With the pics where the girl wasn't looking at the camera, I felt slightly uncomfortable, a bit like an intruder…

    Nice montage of the interior architecture, nice juxtaposition but I'd like to see them bigger and individual. Before my days of digital, my favourite lens for interiors was (still is) the Rokkor 17mm… ah, if only I could use it on a Nikon F-mount!

    Great job of showing the scale of the place; I'd have been tempted to take more pictures of the mansion…

    …and more pictures of the girls of course! thumb.gif

    Haha that Kimodo dragon scared the crap out of me. He was hanging out in a bush and i walked passed him and thought he was real. I almost threw my camera at him.

    Thank you very much for the compliment. I really dig natural light since its alot less to think about compared to flash.

    Terrific frames of Gorgeous girls. Wendy's first one seems a bit oversaturated.

    I love natural light and you've done it proud.

    Now that you mention it does look like she's a bit over saturated and the WB seems to be off. Yes and I do love natural light aswell since there is alot less gear involved.
