Well this one is a planned shot as opposed to a snapshot.

Anyway ignoring the bickering there are some great shots in this thread

Natural light 170mm f2.8 - quick preset re skin (she didn't need much) and a slight crop, so close to straight out of camera; the warm tone is merely a red brick wall, and the gradient background is water with a brick bridge. Seen full size (which is awesome btw ) you can clearly see the closer eye (her right) is sharper than the other, that's just how little DoF you get with these lenses shot wide open and up close
Gotta love em though

The photogrpah of the bride/model walking through the cloisters is simply stunning Yvonne. I have this lens and don't use it often enough, thanks for the inspiration. Iain
Nikon version...
antihero said:lovely shot....what distance did you shoot from to get it? (never shot with a 70-200 before so forgive my ignorance!)
Yv's set of images is all the more impressive for her overcoming her obvious disability in taking them
Well done Yv

PS - yes, she's a woman so its all a bit technical for her
The Nikon 70 - 200 f2.8 is pretty much all i use for portraits these days. Sometimes i put the 50 on for headshots but the 70-200 is an amazing portrait lens.

The colors and processing are just very odd. I think its also to do with the very random looking lighting. My eyes are really drawn to the wall rather than the subject.
And maybe we need some context on what its all about.
That's a cracking looking GSP
I love mine too, but don't "do" people

and shot at 2.8 hence the DoF

Why would you use a 50mm lens for headshots? Do you like your subjects to have big noses?
You really cant help yourself can you.do you think you help urself on here with nonconstructive criticism and your complete and utter obnoxious approach to other peoples photography and techniques. by the way i am still waiting for a reply on your other thread.a reply with an out of camera image would be appreciated.
Many thanks
pffft : slagging of the 50mm one of the most popular portrait lenses of all time for head shots .surely they taught u that at college
(sits and waits for jason to mention a far more superior lens for head shots than the 50mm f1.8 lol)

Wez,
I think the best course here is to just ignore little Jason. He seems intent on mucking up a great thread. Let's all post our pics and pretend like he was never here :nuts:

Blimey! Is that a Snow Leopard? Absolutely cracking shot. If that was mine it would be hanging on my wall. Best so far IMHO.
i must agree that leopard is absolutely stunning. just ran round the house showing half the family.fantastic !!!

You don't take head shots with a 50mm lens, this is not even open for discussion. It is too wide angle and you get perspective distortion. The focal length needs to be about 85mm on full frame. I am not even going to enter in to and argument about this - just go google it.
