Artist's Comments

Me with my Nikon D90 and a rental 70-200 f2.8 VR lens (I love that lens so much).

Friend took the picture while at Smather's beach in Key West.

Uuuupload your pictures. Where are the results of you with that humongous lens? I have no doubt you've got hundreds.
:icontakaides:
I wish I could afford that lens... I love it so much.

Pictures will come. Out of the hundreds that I took over the course of using the lens, I only liked 4-6 pictures... and some of those I don't know if I can post. I love this shot of a couple arguing on the beach, but they're arguing, and its private, so I don't know if I should put it up. From a legal standpoint, I can, but...
:iconklinks:
You only like 4-6 of them? That is a bad sign for your photographical skills. Why so few? And I know that you know how to take proper portraits, I've seen them. Post the shot of the couple.

One of the problems with impromptu portraits with a telephoto lens is minimum focus distance. With that 70-200mm, just getting a headshot at 70mm required 4.5-5 feet. Minimum focus distance was in that range too (published specs say 5 feet, but manual focus can fudge it a bit closer). So I was on that line, and half the time it seems I was just over, on the wrong side... the joys of low-light focusing! And, my general impromptu model doesn't really like having her picture taken (though she wanted to get over it, so she did ask/offer to model) and so a lot of smiles are forced or... similar facial reasons. I need a new model.
