dberryhill 3 Posted May 19, 2008 He sat this way for a while. I don't think he even noticed me. Link to comment
jcpopper 0 Posted May 19, 2008 Helluva shot, Doug. Alarming, poignant, well made. Warm regards... Link to comment
dberryhill 3 Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks. I never really figured out what was going on here with him. There is a lot of acting and role playing at a Renaissance festival, but this didn't seem to fit. Link to comment
jcpopper 0 Posted May 20, 2008 Yup. the Rennies put on quite a show, but this doesn't look like one I've seen. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted May 22, 2008 I think I had that same vacant stare just before I retired. Now I look better (I think). lol Another fine candid and straight forward shot. Your shots are not always pretty, but they are always true. Link to comment
myattphotoandfotoart39 1 Posted May 22, 2008 A better portrait subject is difficult to find or done better not usually found on photonet. I get very tired of portraits on photo.net. They are all the same. Yours are different. Location portraits are very meaningful, natural and human. This I would have opened the lens up to take out the background which is busy (which you would not want to do with the store shots). A disadvantage to a zoom because you cannot open to 1.8 or 2.8 unless you spend a lot of money. Portrait lenses are usually 70mm but for street I prefer my 105/2.8. On the other hand the broader DOF gives you the sharp focus on the hair on the back of his head; his hand and face at the same time. Just to have the hand in to photo is very important. One of the first lessons I was ever taught. I am not sure how to shoot it for this effect. Link to comment
