Thanks Mike!

Since I don't use a tripod, I typically set the shutter speed to around 1/250 and let the camera decides on the aperture. Usually around f/3 depending on the lighting condition, which these are I believe. I mostly shoot in the shade, so it would be quite different in direct sunlight.

Thanks Pam!

For mystique, I used a Lightroom preset by Mike Lao called "300", which is based on the movie 300. It is an interesting preset, doesn't work on all images, but when it does, it is really effective and has that distinct "300" look...

If you have Lightroom, you can find the 300 preset here:
