You used some of Bobbi Lane's outdoor portrait tips: backlight sun bringing out the highlights in the hair of the girl in the center and getting the white jacket of the girl on top to act as a reflector, brightening the middle girl's face. How would this look with a tighter crop to emphasize that?Bob Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276510331824603844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-18463241268000153092009-01-19T07:21:00.000-06:002009-01-19T07:21:00.000-06:00VJ: I really like the framing on the last photo.

The colors are very rich and the composition conveys a sense of place. Nice that you didn't shoot it on a sunny day.

That really is a very redbrick building. Is that local? How curious these images are to me. I almost feel like this is a place of my youth because of that brickwork. Strangely evocative images.Would appreciate a more about the civil right's and B'ham. I'd definitely enjoy those posts.Jane Hards Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162628972166464736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-52781399202364651702009-01-18T20:57:00.000-06:002009-01-18T20:57:00.000-06:00Halcyon,Thanks and aren't we lucky to have these o...Halcyon,<BR/>Thanks and aren't we lucky to have these old churches in our midst!Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-57175761186021511622009-01-18T20:29:00.000-06:002009-01-18T20:29:00.000-06:00It is a beautiful church.

I will most definitely jump over and see your blog and hope all my visitors will as well. BTW, a dear photography friend attended the exhibition and gave me an autographed copy of CHarles Moore's book. What a treasure!! I decided tonight that I need to take a trip to the Civil Rights Institute some day soon and take some photos. I have several from Kelly Ingram Park across the street.<BR/>VVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-80527160947479289142009-01-18T17:56:00.000-06:002009-01-18T17:56:00.000-06:00Virginia: I just located your daily photo blog and...Virginia: I just located your daily photo blog and love it. My husband and I have started a daily photo blog in Greensboro, NC and we were looking for daily photo blogs in southern cities. Birmingham holds a place in the civil rights movement, as does Greensboro.
