david_smith110 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 <p>I recently had the opportunity to photograph some Chinese families that had come over from China to visit San Francisco. The trip was arranged by my nephew who runs a school for teaching English over in their country. I had a wonderful time getting to see my nephew again and meeting many people from such a different culture. Some of the families hired me as well to document one day of their trip. Here are a few examples, all shot with the Canon FDn 50/1.4 on either an A7 or A7 II.</p> <p>Hope you enjoy.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FDn 50/1.4 pretty much stays on my A7 most of the time. Truly a wonderful lens. As I said, hope you enjoy.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_smith110 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 <p>Thanks Louis. I had a lot of fun shooting this. Wish I could go back and do it again. :)</p> <p>The old FD lenses really are amazing pieces of glass and are still every bit as viable today as they were back when they were made. Testament to Canon's design I suppose.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_janes Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 David, your images show an innate sense of timing and a real connection with your new friends...so well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbrown Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 <p>That sounds like a really interesting assignment!<br> Some really nice shots David, very creative and certainly shows what is possible with a single prime lens...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_smith110 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 <p>Rick, thank you for the kind words. :)</p> <p>Ashley, thank you as well. And it was an absolute blast of an assignment. Somewhat nerve wracking to constantly try to capture touching moments with 4 mother/girl pairs and one single young girl by herself. But I wish I was back there doing it right now even as I type this.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
