Definitely is a tripod and timer or a remote. I learned the hard way today, my first time. Used a tripod but didn't use the timer. When I ues Photomatix, they came out blurry/misaligned. I tried it again on our patio, it came out good but just have to play around with adjustments.
BTW, anyone have a copy of Photomatix that isn't free ? I downloaded the freebie but it has a watermark when adjusting colors/tone/ and all.

if you want to do any portraits of women, then possibly a soft diffuser

Apex,

You most definitely have a great eye. Your pictures are aces dude! Also some good skill with the vignetting. Did you use a blur effect on any of those head shots, or was it just a slow shutter speed?

The only photoshop "effect" I use is some of the vignetting in the photos. If you see motion blur, it's in-camera. If you are talking about the grid of headshots, those where taken with a old Polaroid SX-70. I love those cameras. Same with the headshot of the girl with the disco glasses. Old *** SX-70 camera from the 70's.
