Thread: Color portraits and or photographs of people

I thought I'd start this off with a photograph I took several years ago on a family vacation using my not so serious Canon Elph. No RAW, didn't even know what it was...just iPhoto, and it remains one of my favorites. Now that I have better software, I might be able to improve it but I think I shall let it stay just the way it is. The print version worked out very nicely and I'm so glad to have it.

Please add your photographs to this thread, with or without explanations. I look forward to being able to see many photos here, in time.

Elphs are nice cameras, BBW. I enjoyed shooting with one for a while too. I think seriousness lies more in the use or handling of a camera / intent of the photographer than in camera features. Lovely reds contrasting with blues and greens here. Well done!

Thanks, Mayank - I am with you

. This photo was taken down on the Outer Banks of North Carolina...a series of barrier islands along the Atlantic ocean with the Palmlico Sound on the inner curve. Parts of these islands are still pristine, thankfully.

My subject is the talented young singer/songwriter Arrica Rose. This pic was taken Memorial Day weekend in a fairly dark restaurant in LA.

Today, at Tutti Fruiti eating yogurt.

BB..Love the pic. Can see why it's one of your fav's. Sometimes everything just comes to9gether and you end up with a shot like that. Just perfect!
