Post Your Best Portrait Shots!

[Liamisnowon]

Can't usually get my son to sit still long enough for a portrait - sorry! I'm usually running behind him, today with Canon 350D XT, 50mm 1.8 (f2 1/250 aprox from memory). Favourite photographer Ansel Adams. I would love to one dayaspire toBresson's 'decisive moment' but as a 'happy-snapper' I'm starting with the 'lucky moment' :-)

I was in NYC with my sister this week.








Both taken with the 85mm f/1.8 wide open, different nights, almost same location.

I did these at a friend's wedding in May. All hand held, no flash on Rebel XS with Canon 50mm 1.4

Sorry, no pointers from me.


These are nice. I especially like the two B&W's. Were they all shot with available light?

This is one I tried to make look like a Lomo photo, I'm not sure, what do you think?

[Rodger]

Hi Thomas,


Did you follow a tutorial for the lomo effect?


Here a few that might interest you:

I've found each of those to give good results.

Rodger,


Yes, I used the tutorial at DPS, it was easy to follow and the results are cool. I'm working on a few more to post when I get a chance.





Thanks!





Tom
