kitaoka, this is an outstanding portrait shot. Great job. That 50 mm lens does a fantastic job. Of course, the 1D-Mk 3 helps!

Here is a picture I took of my father our first day on the beach in Kauai(Brennecke's Beach). Taken with my old 5D, 24-105(very sharp copy thanks to Lensrental.com), 88mm @f4, 1/125th. A little PP in Lightroom. He hardly ever smiles(just kidding), so he does take really good photos, especially with my little man!![img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.22.00/_2D00_6278-_5B00_1600x1200_5D00_.jpg[/img]

Thank you Alan. I originally shot Eugene's hands holding an orange as you can see in the color image I have uploaded. But his face is just as remarkable as his hands.

Gregg, that's also a fantastic shot. That rugged look gives the image a real personal touch.


And, kitaoka, the orange pic: wow! It really tells a story.

SteveU, great model and lighting for the setting. I'm sure you had a good time there, I've yet to attend a Comic type convention... there's always on the west coast and I live on the east.


I'm not sure if these qualify as portraits in the traditional sense, but I like to think that these capture these people in their natural, having fun state.

What do you think?




The original photo and print show great detail on his beard and water
