    I don't have a problem with that, as long as it is a ture portrait. After all, this is not a wildlife project.

    Re: May Photo Project: Portraits

    How would one define portrait? I mean like for example, would the second photo be a portrait?

    Re: May Photo Project: Portraits

    I just googled definition of a portrait here's what one link read...

    A portrait is a painting, photograph, or other artistic representation of a person. Portraits are often simple head shots or mug shots and are not usually overly elaborate or creative. The intent is to show the basic appearance of the person, and occasionally some artistic insight into his or her personality.

    However, I have seen some beautfiul pet portraits.
    I'm in photography heaven!!! *sighs*

    I am ok with pet portraits. I just don't want a bunch of wildlife stuff.

    Here is a example of what would be acceptable:

    Great Topic Almo! Glad you're back.....

    Sailor in NYC - this image is soft as we were walking toward each other at a very fast pace, but I love the expression on her face as our eyes met.

    I took this today.
    Introducing my first Teddy. He's lasted well hasn't he?

    Frying tonight ?
    Don't ask me why the cat decided to 'help' with dinner !

    Please be assured that NO animal was hurt in the taking of this image - it was ALL his idea ! - there was NO oil in the frying pan and the cooker ring was NOT tuned on !


    It did put a stop to cooking tea though - while I set the camera up

    ;) Canon 350D with 28-55mm lens AND 55-80mm Ultrasonic lens Speedlite flash ;)

    Re: May Photo Project: Portraits

    Took this shot of my baby girl Trinity, today, while my 17 year old daughter Gina, was playing with her.
    Just at the point she looked at me I pressed the shutter. Talk about great timing.

    The image of Trinity in her cot was one of my first attempts with my new lens and bouncing a flash, Title: "Caged"

    It's her birthday today...Happy 1st Birthday Trinity!!!
