[oohan101]

Hey everyone, I finally worked up the courage to ask some friends to pose for me while i experimented with taking portrait pictures! They've all been post processed and i really hope you enjoy them. any feed back is greatly welcomed!

The last one really stood out for me, I like the contrast.

Great shots. And what great friends to pose for you! Wish I could say the same about my friends.... think they are scared of the camera LOL. Stunning shots. TFS.

Haha thanks guys! Yeh it took me a while and to be honest, a couple of drinks to, we were at a bar and i happend to build up the courage and mention i got into photography and they were pretty keen actually. Just give it a try, i think its easier if its done in groups or couples-then they dont feel intimidated and can have more fun... but thanks again for the comments :-)

Great job! Very nice compositions and great PP too. I'm sure they were delighted with your results.

Not bad at all...I really like a lot of them...you did well. Just keep plugging away at it...practice practice practice...you're lucky to have someone willing to pose

Thanks guys! Yeh, i thank them each time is see them and they're willing to let me try it again. Its quite hard to practice portraiture, especially when your new and dont have the courage to ask a "Model" to pose for you. So i really appreciated my friends helping me out! Thanks for the comments everyone :-)
