oh gosh, i suck at portrait, the informations that i have gathers from people is that if you are using available light, then take it near a window (assuming it's indoors) for example, here is a shot (very blurry, i was playing without a tripod) http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4075/1265/1600/IMG_9...

Both are great ! i see pictures from the both of you guys from the same locations all the time, do you guys go on planned photoshoots? oh yeah, you guys use photoshop for your images much ?

wow mike, you have the 17-40L, that's awesome lens according to most. i don't the budget for any L lense yet.
