I was asked by a friend to photograph her daughter who is entering quite
a prestigious pageant (Miss Teen SA) next week. Nervous as hell photo-
graphing a cute 15 year-old with her Mom breathing down my neck at every
shot! Luckily Simone knew exactly how to pose herself and I think she
has a very bright future in modelling.

Anyway, I think I did okay. Here are some of the images from the shoot:

http://www.dallasdahms.com/Fashion.htm

All shot in RAW using the D70 with the 18-70mm DX lens set to f/8, an
SB-800 on camera at ISO 500. No sharpening, some lifting of levels as I
was shooting at -1/3.

Have you checked what they look like in B&W?
I'm asking because it seems to be working well for the thumbnails.

Your site really doesn't seem to work well in Opera or Mozilla .... unless
it's just a strange design.

It does say, "For best results view with Internet Explorer 6.0+"

Actually, that should be, "For ANY results..." - clicking a thumbnail
causes Mozilla to just open another copy of the same page.

Which is odd, because it looks like it was built in DreamWeaver, which
doesn't usually produce such non-compatible code... I'd expect that from
something like FrontPage...

Nothing wrong with the photography but all the photos show up one of the
D70s worst traits... Shadow detail is lost. I believe there are some
custom contrast curves (not free) which help this problem... But then
we've been down this road before, haven't we Dallas?

Safest way to handle it when working with under-age models.

And she's not all that attractive.

With Netscape 7.2 (Mozilla 5.0) nothing happens when you click the
thumbnails. The thumbnails do change to color when you glide over them
with the pointer.

Internet Exploder 6.0 pops up a dialog box to tell you it's blocked the
popup.

The thumbnails have a kind of greenish color cast that's not as apparent
in the popup images.

Suggest you get a real web designer. Not smart to code for just M$/
