    Just beautiful Yuri!
    Goes to prove it's not the camera that makes the picture, it's the photographer. I'm sure you're loving your new R1 and it must seem like a whole new world to you.
    Great work, as always.

    well, you must know that many people ( myself included ) have been waiting to see what you can produce with the R1. You have exceeded all expectations.............
    Beautiful Portrait..

    I loved my 707, but I really like how subtle the colors look in this shot. The 707 and subtle color are like oil and water....Laughing.gif

    So how are you liking your new tool? Any compliants or discoveries?

    Which is, most likely, just another proof of a point: "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" :D

    So glad to see the Girls of Voronezh are still as beautiful as ever, and now you have a new Camera to capture even more beauties.

    Very nicely done!!! Can't wait to see more.

    It was not easy step (DSLR or R1), but I choose R1 and I'm glad!

    Steve! Spasibo, dear friend!
    R1 is a great camera and I have to shot, shot and shot to learn its capabilities and make R1 my real friend.
    I like 'zebra', fast focus, EVF and some other things, but most of all I like ISO 3200 and b&w!!!
    Like journey to my youth...

    Congrats on your new camera and on another wonderful street portrait, Yuri! I'm curious...what do you say to your "models" to get them to pose and do you give them any directions on how and where you wish them to stand, whether to smile or look serious, etc.? Do you provide them with prints of their photos or some other incentive to get them to pose, or is it simply your Russian charm that you use, lol? Inquiring minds want to know...

    Cheers!

    Expanding on this line of questions...
    I've been starting to test myself in portrait shots. I have been successful in 'talkin-up' my subjects and getting some nice looking poses and expressions. However, I have a great deal of difficulty doing this talking from behind a camera. I'm getting great expressions without being able to actual compose and shoot! Obviously, I need mostly to keep practicing. But I was wondering if you have any tricks or advice for making the transition to talking with the camera between you and your subject.

    -Rich

    p.s. Having a studio and setting up on a tripod would be great, but I'm taking these portraits "on the street," so to speak.

    Thanks!

    Spasibo (Thank you) for your comment and congratulations.
    I tell them about their beauty and /or interesting look.
    I tell them how to stay, even ask to think about something (Thinking of 'him', for example...)
    Some time before I presented them prints, but it was too expensive (with 10 prints and 10 models a month for ex..)
    So now I present them CDs with files for prints and ask them to present me the the photo they like more...
    Once again thank you,
    Yuri

    Advice?
    You must talk, talk and talk without stopping. About what?
    About her /his beauty, about photography, about Dgrin, about me finally :-)
