Default My First Model Shoot

I'm taking a three-day, all-day photography retreat on Anna Maria Island, FL, covering portait photography, photoshop, home studio, etc. Yesterday we had our first session. The day flew. When it got close to sunset we headed to the beach with our model and tried to apply what we'd learned. These shots are all jpegs right out of the camera - no editing or tweaking at all. I'll be working on the RAW images later tonight. I am not going back for a week or two - but at that time we'll meet for two days in a row. Can't wait until the next two sessions!

Beautifull model and poses but everything is out of focus.

Lucky you...sounds awesome.
She's gorgeous and the poses are gorgeous. Having trouble with my vision right now, so I can't speak for the focus.

im betting its just bad jpeg compression again. Can you not upload them to Flickr or similar.
I found that most of my pics looked blurred using this forum own upload facility.

Yes, that is what I am thinking as well. The backgrounds are blurred out but not the subject. The next time I'll upload from Flickr. Thanks, Carli.
