Technical Difficulties
Je suis désolé, mes amis, but this is as good as it gets with the tuxedo action shot. I need to work on lighting and figure out how to make the auto focus work correctly. Good intentions, yada yada.

Many years ago, I would’ve been up at 4:30am on May Day and on the road to go dance the sun up with my Morris Dancing chums. You know who you are. 😉 Hope it was a good time.

Not bad at all. Better than cutting your head off! I often use a tripod for my photos. Are you using the flash? It’s good to lighten you up especially since you are against a lighter background. The auto exposure is going to read all that white and underexpose you. My camera has a face recognition for the time exposures meant for when the photographer joins the group, but it will, work for just me when I show up. Also helpful to set for more than one picture if you have this feature.
*wolf whistle*
you look great, pseu!
I’d say that’s not bad at all — all of you is in the photo, as Nancy K points out. And I see how cleverly you’ve created a faux-tuxedo . . .
I thought of MayDays in Paris, with the lilies-of-the-valley being sold on every corner; never thought of Morris dancers, but of course you would — it’s easy to forget about your many areas of experience and expertise;-)
Love the Fluevog touch.
You did well with the photo, looking very relaxed, and I really like your hair…I should be focusing on the outfit but my eye is drawn up to your face framed by the colour and cut!
You look great – love the tuxedo outfit and impressed with tripod action too! This afternoon I was thinking “oh its a bit chilly” and then I thought “I’d have hated to have been up early this morning heralding in May day” !
You look great…dancing or not! xv
“Vavoom!” You look great in “le Smoking”. Also, Happy May Day…
You look great in this (talk about long and lean!) AND I’m impressed with the tech results.
That situation with Ceara is sad/ridiculous; thanks for spreading the word about the injustice.
The jacket and pants, which are jeans, but which look like a pair to the jacket, make a statement with the shirt. It looks good on you! I could not work it out on me.
Gorgeous! Clean and elegant lines.
Action shot, indeed, gorgeous! You abso-freakin-lutely rock.
Thanks everyone! I feel so Rat Pack here! Somebody get me a martini.
I’m still struggling with getting the auto focus to work correctly when the timer function is used, but hopefully I’ll have that ironed out soon.
I love a good tuxedo jacket!
