A staffmember at a honey processing facility in central Tanzania

Portraits are an area I really wish I had more practice at.

I'm sorry I don't have enough time at the moment to read your very interesting journal back a ways and get a fuller context... but I intend to when my workload lightens up :-)

Thanks! (: I'm woefully behind on my friends list myself :[

Do you need more flash or an offset bounce flash?

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Hmm I'm not familiar with offset bounce flash? I'm not very versed in the use of flash, I usually do my best to get by without flashes because when I use it I probably don't use it well, just get a lot of glare /:

I love portraits. I find people fascinating.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Yeah portraits are neat. I'm especially envious of the photographers who go to the same places as I do and come out with all kinds of awesome portraits. Like this guy, he's amazing.

How did you find yourself keeping bees for a living?

I find it incredible that it has led to such an adventure!

The best way to get good at portraits is to take them, which is just what you're doing so, terrific job because personally, I find taking them pretty intimidating.

I'm not very good at manouvering people into the right light and such to get a good portrait. I'm actually a bit shy I guess about really getting involved in composing a portrait beyond just snapping a picture when it all happens to come together on its own. There was a woman in this same facility I wanted to get a picture of just like this that I actually asked if I could take a portrait of and she readily agreed and I tried to manouver her where I wanted her but she stood too far away from the machine and not in the light and I just didn;t have to heart to really chase her into the right place so the picture didn't come out at all. d:
