Default Portrait Attempt

Not my usual. I am not a portrait photographer, but we had friends over for Thanksgiving, so I gave it a try.

All that beautiful warm wood and you've got a cold white extractor fan sticking out of their heads? Nice smiles, great lighting on the models, wonderful warmth of colour. Two steps to your left, two steps to their right = ???

Thanks Jim,

I know, this was just a spur of the moment thing when they were leaving. I was not trying to make it professional and there probably is not a good place in my house(especially my kitchen) to take a real protrait.

Portrait photos is something I'm sure you would do well with. Great control of the lighting and exposure. I'd love to see what you'd do with a full studio and background setup. Great start, Brian. TFS
