Mayan Formal 1

This is the first of four formal portraits taken of the first family using a technique developed during my first portraiture workshop with Judy Dater two years previously.  I had brought with me both tripod and a black sheet to hang and use as background.  The photo was shot at 0.3 seconds @ f/19.  Although she was dubious of the technique when she saw me first employ it, upon seeing the results on the computer screen during the workshop Nance allowed as how she liked them better than she thought she would, and I trust she will like them even better now, sepia-toned and sharpened.
