Wonderful Model MalyJ agreed to collaborate with me on my Harley Cowgirl Shoot March 29. She deserves a lot of credit for getting up early on a Sunday and braving the cold and windy day.

Flickr has suspended my account, so I cannot interact with people on here anymore until they lift the suspension. They claim that I add so many favorites that it is considered an abuse of resources. I am hoping to convince them to lift this suspension. All of my images have been knocked out of Explore and the Flickr search engine. I am unable to favorite or comment on anyone's photos. I am not the only one who has had this happen to them lately. They also accused me of using a script or automated process to fave other member's images, which isn't true, I don't even know how to use a script or even what one is! I personally fave every image that you see in my favorites stream.
A point I would like to make is, dispite whether you think excessive faving manually is right or wrong, it was never stated that there was a limit of the number of faves you can make or how many you can make per unit of time. Even in Flickr's FAQ it states "There is no limit on the number of favorites you can have." So, they are saying that I violated Flickr's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, even though I never violated anything explicitly stated there. Hence, they are punishing me for something that they never even cited as an offence to Flickr's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
UPDATE I just got a message saying that the suspension on my account will be lifted!

A shot of Ashley sitting along the boardwalk on Whitefish Island. This is Ashley, I met her on Model Mayhem, her Model Mayhem number is 1216213.
About the Photo
*Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS *Lens: EF 50mm ƒ/1.8 II *Shutter Speed: 1/15 Sec. *Aperture Value: ƒ/5.6 *ISO: 100 *Focal Length 50mm (80mm Equvalent in 35mm Film)
I shot this on a tripod using mirror lockup and a remote switch. Ashley was sitting on the edge of the boardwalk during this pose.
To the right of the camera I had a Canon Speedlite 430EX II at full power pointed towards her about 3 feet away. To the left of the camera I had a Vivitar flash at full power being diffused by a cloth. I had someone hold the Vivitar flash out over the water while on the light stand to help provide wrap around light coming from behind the model to help separate her from the background. The Speedlite was triggered by a Canon ST-E2 wireless Speedlite transmitter and the Vivitar flash was triggered optically.
I opened the RAW file in ACR and added tone mapping effects to the image by increasing the clarity multiple times using the spot adjustment brush and the basic panel. To give these effects I also increased the recovery, fill light, and blacks sliders to recover detail. I manipulated the tone curve to keep the luminance in the image balanced. I also adjusted the hue and saturation of each colour individually.
I opened the RAW file in CS4 and saved it as a 16 bit TIFF and continued to edit the file. I placed it on the original unedited image and changed the blend mode to luminousity so I could avoid the weird HDR colours that come from tone mapping. I added a mask to the tone mapped image and removed the detail enhancements from some pieces to make the image look better. To increase the detail enhancements on the clothing I did some dodging and burning to give it a more contrasty look.
I used the sponge tool to saturate certain parts of the image like the reflection in the water. I softened the light on the model by using healing tools to remove the hard edge. I used the tools in liquify to slightly change the shape of some of the features on her face. I used the dodge and burn tools to make the eyes stand out more and used the brush tool on a layer set to blend mode color to paint the eyes a bluer colour. At the end I saved a 16 bit TIFF file, converted to sRGB colourspace and saved as a JPEG to upload to the internet.

View Tough Torey On Black Gorgeous Model Mayhem Model: Torey Nicole
I was struggling trying to light Torey at 2:30 PM and 105 degrees. Similar to McNally's shoot in Dubai, ha ha ha. To the rescue came Syl Arena and my buddy Brian. No reflectors were used just, two Speedlights. Syl reminded me that controlling light with an umbrella, especially during bright daylight was useless. Of course he didn't use those terms, he was more diplomatic, and Brian said, you are using Auto FP, right? Errr.... yeah, right.
Strobist info:
Nikon D700 Commander Mode 0 E/V
Flash 1/250 Auto FP
SB-900 TTL 0 E/V snooted with a David Honl 8" Snoot Zoomed to 200 mm camera left 8 feet high, Torey is 6'2" w/out heels.
SB-600 TTL 0 E/V Zoom set to 24 mm for broad light directly behind model
I've always find it funny how the choices one make can really have an effect on your life. Had it not been for a counselor convincing me to take a class back in my Senior year of high school I might have never met this guy. REALLY good friend that has been there through a lot.

Photo from a chilly walkabout TFCD shoot in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, with model Dasha Rene (Model Mayhem #1524212), January 2010.
Michèle stands in a doorway in the Adobe Wall that is the only remaining part of the 1828 Mission Santa Clara de Asis.
Strongly backit, I exposed the image +2EV in camera and pushed the exposure by 1 more stop in Lightroom. Then I took the image into Photoshop and finished it like any regular portrait. Once I was satisfied with the portrait retouch, I added two duplicate layers and applied a 50 pixel gaussian blur to both. The lower one I put into multiply blend mode, which darkened the image considerably. I added a mask and painted over the model's face, brightening it again. I put the top layer into screen blend mode, brightening the image again, and reduced the opacity to 50%. This combination of blurred layers gives the gauzy, dreamy effect.

The third model in my July shoot (besides Elizabeth and Diana) was Crystal, who put the whole thing together. That's what she does; she's very passionate about modeling and keeps coming up with ideas for shoots. I met her last December at a hangar shoot organized by a local photography club. She was one of about a dozen models I shot that day, but just about the only one who followed up with me afterward.
A few months later, she had an idea for a shoot at a cemetery near downtown Dallas. She did hair and makeup herself, and even showed up with a few props. We had a great time shooting, and she wasn't afraid to roll around in her dress, make faces and try different things. The weather was chilly (it was February), and it even rained a little, but overcast sky was friendly to our portrait mission, as there was no harsh shadows.
Crystal organized the July shoot pretty quickly, with a few photographers and models she worked with before. Even though she had a studio shoot earlier in the day, she came prepared with a couple of outfits and lots of energy. Time got away from us quickly and I got to shoot with her again only briefly toward the end of the shoot. We were joking around and most good shots ended up being candids, like this one here. You can see a few more shots of her on my Flickr page and her Model Mayhem page.

And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves
