well after I was asking in a forum last night about the quality of my pictures for commercial work, well the message was clear good, but focus on one topic. In my case portraits and get out and shoot more pictures, of people which are not in your portfolio yet.

Time to ask some more bartenders out.

I think I need about 4 more month realistically to get the complete portfolio running to 50 - 80 pictures. Right now it's just to empty.

it's getting late here and I'm playing around with my new white balance card (It was on sale, 30 instead of 80$, I had to get it...) and I have to say I'm impressed what kind of difference it makes on the exposure and how much nicer it is to have a perfectly set white balance.

The exposure is more or less a quarter stop more to the right and needs no further adjustment in lightroom.

Now I can't wait to see how this works with flashes.
