did all the lighting. Using colored Roscoe gels and Quartz lights.But I never tire of looking at good quality photos by others,especially yours RB.
I also enjoy teaching,others the pleasures of making great picys. Most certainly here on Shutterbug S.
We need daily participation over here!
Rod I may have made an erronious asumption that when it takes a long time to see a loading pic (go have a coffee) that it was at 300 dpi. I GO Into PHOTOSHOP image size box under document size width = 8 inch ,Height= 10 or 12 inches, and resolution 72 pixel/inch. Then check boxes Constrain proportions and resample image.
Thats for the internet hosting , for printing out on my Epson I will use 260 dpi resolution.

Set your pixel dimensions to about maximum of 700 width, 500 height. Constrain proportions, use bicubic interpolation, and then touch up with unsharp mask radius .2, threshold zero, amount 200 to 500%.
Then code to jpg quality level 3 or 4.
The shot i have below was too large, I had scaled it for a screen background, not for showing...
Check out my photo asylum for a few other examples. I also participate in a couple of critique sites, but I hesitate to mention them publically, we get enough trolls, and we know a few read this board, unfortunately.

Maybe I should post just one at a time - R B 21:31:18 03/12/03 (5)
What was the movies name Joe? I used to work driving the props truck at Pinewood studios in the UK & would be sent away on location sometimes. The longest stint away was for 3 mths in the south of England working on Dr Doolittle with Rex Harrison, Anthony Newley, & Samantha Egar sp. To Sir with love was another but that was shot in London so no hotels on that one.

  while I haven't been there since my teens.Your pic is a great reminder.One comment, and you probably know it.A milisecond sooner and that woman would be in the light,and also lower in left corner to be within the rule of thirds, compositionaly.Also in these situations I travel with my old friend Phil Flash, hehe.
  Great! waiting to find a subject wearing blue for impact in photos ( red , yellow are others)this has good color harmony as well.
  The film was a short,titled "Breakfast My Love". I hold a withdrawal card from I.A.T.S.E. Local 500 Stage hands Broward county.My brother-in-law is head Prop man on commercials & movies in Miami. Small World!!!

    It's a shame that I have lost resolution from the flatbed scanner as the shot is a bit more lively then it looks, on the slide there is some detail in the dark archway & the lady being in shadow with her hand behind her back that is in sunlight. It's the hand being the only part of her illuminated that made it a shot for me.
    Another one from the same place

        in your photos. Image drawing some tic tac toe lines in your viewfinder. Where they intersect (my X) are the better places to put your subject of interest into the frame.
        Never dead center!!!See my X's,the intersect lines occur at 4 points ie verticle or horizonal ,see my example of singer Celine.Just move your camera around, until subject is in a better position around that imaginary X mark and take the shot.
        These are not my rules but handed down from the early Greeks.Along with S curves,L shape, triangles,and my favorite diagonal lines, make good rules of composition.Remember they are only rules,thus they can be broken on occasions.
