I'm trying to understand how to take portraits of people with an appropriate amount of softness. I'm not sure if I'm imagining things or there is just that much post work done anymore. People complain that some of my photos are too sharp - showing every little detail (I know, tough problem to have).
I've a 50mm and a 70-200. Both are plenty sharp. I know i could use a filter (either hardware/software) ...but those all seem to appear too soap opera-y.
Am I chasing a slightly out of focus photo? Or should I just be post processing to soften portraits?
