Thanks for the post. So I've got you guessing about my guessing, do I? Let me answer your question. All of my guesses involve a 3 step process. First I research the photographers to see if I can learn anything specific about how they shoot--type of camera, film or digital, light preferences, etc. Then, I look for hints from the actual image--shadow direction, highlights, catch lights. Finally, I think about how I would have lit the shot myself. All that info leads me to my "educated" guesses. Oh, and about the "comments" section. It's 99.9% the truth :) Hope that helps. Ted Hey there, Kristina. Thanks for the post.
