Thanks, Aahz. I'm pretty sure I had it close to wide-open -- maybe one stop down. That's usually where I default to on any given lens unless I'm just trying for crazy DOF or bokeh. I'm still an absolute flash neophyte, too, so I was flying by the seat of my pants when I shot that one. You're being too hard on yourself.

Maybe if it were supposed to resemble a formal portrait, but I prefer candids to have some context. In the case of my workplace shots, I generally try to keep some background in the shot to lend context, as you say. While I am taking casual portraits, they're portraits intended to capture little pieces of my working world. So, I think that's an important element in what I'm trying to accomplish. -- Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Thanks, Steve. I completely agree with you on the orientation. I was just so focused on capturing the detail in his face and beard that I guess I failed to even notice that I was cutting off his arms. It was a quick, one-off shot. And, yes, the lack of sharpness around the eyes that bugged me is exactly that -- a front-focusing problem that would have been easily remedied if I'd stopped down the aperture a bit. I really wanted to capture the detail in his beard, so that's where I put the focus point. I just didn't have enough DOF to get the eyes as sharp as I'd have liked. Still, the image has grown on me to the point where I probably won't fiddle with it too much anymore, if at all. -- Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO: Mark B. (Another workplace shot)

Re: PESO: Mark B. (Another workplace shot)

Re: PESO: Mark B. (Another workplace shot)
Thank you, Bob. I was afraid I just wasn't using the lens well. It just struck me as strange that most of my zooms -- even the cheapo Sears ones -- would be sharper than a 28mm prime. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's frustrated by it. I hope to find a reasonably affordable and sharp lens in the focal length one of these days. I think my even A28-135/4 is better, but it weighs a ton and doesn't seem to like focusing at the short end at all. Not to mention the fact that the f/4 maximum aperture is awfully slow for the low light I work in, even on the K-5. I guess I've gotten completely spoiled by my fast 50's. Thanks again for the kind words. I get a lot of satisfaction from the portraits I get at work, on account of the personal connections. There's something extra-gratifying about accurately capturing the people you've come to know well in life. -- Walt On 6/16/2013 10:52 AM, Bob Sullivan wrote: Walt, The M28/2.8 lens can be disappointing.

From: Walt Here's another portrait from down at the ol' salt mine -- a man named Mark. He's about as nice and polite a man as you could ever hope to meet. We nearly lost him about a year and a half ago in a car accident. He spent a good amount of time at Vanderbilt University Hospital undergoing surgeries before going through about three months of physical therapy. He's fortunate in a lot of ways -- from being alive at all to having all his limbs. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/9036796687/ K-5, M-28/2.8, ISO 200, 1/160 sec, f/? I'm not altogether pleased with the exposure or sharpness, and will probably return to the shot at some point in the future for further processing. But, I rarely see Mark these days, so I wanted to be sure to get at least one shot of him. Exposure looks good to me. Framing is just a little off for my taste. Wish the bottom edge didn't slice off his forearm elbow. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

RE: PESO - Mark in Profile
