Heming's one year term is up, so we will vote for a new club president at the May 15 meeting. Heming will send a follow-up email. Who would like to be...
Thanks, Randy. Since quite a few members hsowed their interests in taking portraits, let us start with the discussion of what elements needed to make a good ...
I approve. J What I like about the shot is that it looks like a very natural pose - if in fact Joe feels like he was "posed". He was fairly comfortable even...
Thank you, Davin, for letting us to use your shot to have a portrait discussion session. Thank even more for the detailed the description of the shot. Let me...
Devin, this is a fantastic shot, so I've got no suggestions for improvement! Did you photoshop the blurred background any or is it just the wall? What aperture...
Randy, Sari was hoping that Janine was also coming over today. Sari would like to go over some of Janine's facial "things" and I guess we'll see you at 3. ...

Hi Blake, Sorry we were not able to make it today. It sure did sound like fun and would have been a well deserved break but.... The window was more involved...
Devin, I think the photo of me is excellent!!! The wife and kids love it too. Better make up some business cards, cause everyone that ask me who did it, I'll...
Nice shot, Randy. The flying squirrel is cute. So are those gardening tools. I'm glad that your guys had good time. I'm so screwed with my new printer. I...
The client also likes it. Gary, Lenny, Balke and others, what do you think the elements in a successful portrait shot. Randy is also good at candid shot....
Now THERE'S an assignment the club can sink their teeth into! Details and suggestions!! Well, done, Heming. The next step, I think, is to provide a few days...
Thanks, Devin, for your response. I begged the group to join the discussion about portrait photography. I'm not sure the discussion so far is too Mick Mouse to...
I noticed today that several of my replies have not gone to the group because of attached images. Not sure why that is but I've worked around it, now. I...
Heming, I hope that's what you meant by "raising the discussion up"? J I'll provide as much detail as anyone wants. Please people, ask questions, critique...
Devin, Thank you very much for sharing your techniques in such a detail with us. They are very helpful. I hope the majority of our members will appreciate...
Devin, Your original emails probably didn't go thru because the attached images were larger than 800K total, this is a limitation of the yahoo group. Thanks...
Last year, when the new leadaeship formed, we said we want to have certain rules for the club. Here is the note I wrote for the By-Laws, which never finalized...
Nice shot, Randy. I especially like the first one with two kids in the flower field and the water reflection. I went to Meriden a week early. I thought I got...
I missed the cherry blossom this year again. If I'm correct, there are not a lot cherry blossom trees in NYBG but there are a lot in Brooklyn Botanic garden. ...
I too was quite taken by the same image, Heming. I agree with your two cents (framing, DOF, composition of flowers to subject) and now have upped the ante to...
Thanks, Devin. This shot was also my favorite of the day. As I was leaving the festival I saw the two kids in the flowers. Their parents were taking pictures...
I need to upgrade to a longer lens. I'm looking into the 28-300mm lenses, but since I don't have $2000 to spend, I am willing to settle for a Tamron or Sigma...
Hi Barbara, What are your current lens options? There are a few good lenses out there for the Canon (even third party lenses) that could suit for this range...
