This one was called "Learn How To Create Memorable Portraits" and there were two models, a mother and her daughter. This was the second Meetup group event I have attended and it is always pretty easy to get good shots of models that know how to pose. For this shoot all of the lighting was hard set so you had to put your camera in manual mode in order to expose properly. In some of the shots I would have preferred to use commander mode so I could have opened the lens more for a shallower depth of field but ehhh. ya takes what ya gets. It was an enjoyable experience. Do I want to sell my work.. that has not really been a goal for me who knows, maybe some day. I just like to continuously learn to take better shots.
