I think that my favorite is the "close up" followed by 1560. LeeAnn has a wonderful smile, and to truly show it off to it's best advantage, you really need to come in closer and shoot more portraits. Even if that means you need to invest in a 77/1.8. :-) Seriously though, whatever glass you use, she has a lot of wonderful smiles in that series, and you should spend more time photographing them. My biggest complaint with the series is the lighting. You need to get some fill light on her. Rather than spending money on flashes, just pick up a reflective windshield shade, and get someone to stand just out of frame and aim the reflections for fill. In the fields of yellow flowers, you did a great job with focus and depth of field. A shot that I'd love to see, would be like 1518, but shot with a long lens (so that the out of focus horse in the background is a bigger compositional element. Perhaps of her sitting or lying in the grass so you can have a portrait, with the flowers fading from in focus, to out of focus in the background. All in all, that's a nice set (of photos) and I'm sure that she'll be very pleased. > > -- Walt > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
