Liz asked me to share the burlesque photos I took for Becky the other night. Well I will, but reluctantly. They didn't come out how I wanted, it's this horrible lighting in our house, they just look like amateur snaps, I'm far from happy with them.

Everyone likes the last one the best, including me, but Becky just wasn't keen which is a shame as it's also technically the best one, but hey, the customer is always right :o)

I tried playing with the colour balance but I couldn't get them to look right. Maybe I should have shot in RAW and then I could have adjusted the colour temperature so much easier. I'm useless with white balance, it never seems to work for me; when I use grey card, white card, auto white balance, one of the preset modes, it never seems to look right :-s
I don't have a background, mainly because I never normally take portraits. I found the most plain wall in the house, but I never thought of pulling her away from the wall, doh! I kept her close to the wall to keep out as much of the floor as possible as they're going to be cut out. It does look good in B&W, I'll ask her what she thinks.
No no, I like you giving me pointers, you're a much better photographer than I am and I always appreciate your comments :o) Thanks again!

I hardly think I'm a better photographer, Shellie! But anyway we can help each other, we definitely should.
Did she ever have her image cut out and posted wherever she was going to? How did it come out?

No, Becky hasn't chosen a photo yet, they're just sitting here on my computer waiting! I don't know what's taking so long, she has a show coming up soon and I thought she wanted the flyer ready for that. Ah well, her loss!

Have fun in Cumbria! I love twisty roads but you spend so much time watching the road you never really get to admire the scenery!

I did have fun in Cumbria thank you, we saw all the tourist attractions that I never saw when I lived there, because if you grow up in a place, you don't tend to see it from a tourist point of view, so it made a lovely change :o)
