<p>I took pictures of a lovely young lady the other day and many of them, if not most, seem blurry. I've magnified them in the lcd and it seems some have camera shake (with SR on and handheld) or just OOF and I've back button focused on her eyes. I was using the Tamron 28-70 @2.8 and the Tamron 70-200 @2.8. Can anyone tell me what kind of blur I've got in these 2 100% crops?</p><div></div>

I don't know if you're aware of this picture by Ruth Orkin http://www.orkinphoto.com/photographs/american-girl/ but it's quite close. She set hers up. I don't know why. All she had to do was stand on any street corner and wait, like, I assume, you did or were there at the right moment. Nice catch! -
<p>Javier, I was just looking at your portfolio here, when my wife came over and I told her you were the inspiration for my taking street portraits. I also told her of your "care packages" for the homeless. She was duly impressed.<br /> <br />By the way, one of your shots was very similar to the one by Ruth Orkin. I can't find your shot, now. She set hers up. <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=American+girl+orkin&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjo5u_LmpPKAhXKGh4KHdBPCbkQ_AUICCgC&biw=1252&bih=554#imgrc=AIMDGG0uF9B4ZM%3A">https://www.google.com/search?q=American+girl+orkin&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjo5u_LmpPKAhXKGh4KHdBPCbkQ_AUICCgC&biw=1252&bih=554#imgrc=AIMDGG0uF9B4ZM%3A"</a></p>

<p>I actually called to this woman from across the street. She was carrying a bouquet of flowers and it was perfect. She said she doesn't look good in pictures. I beg to differ.</p><div></div>

<p>She caught me. I didn't need another picture.</p><div></div>

<p>Asked these two young ladies if I could take their picture. 0nly one spoke English (left), the other one needed a translation, but agreed, as well. They were here from Brazil for a dance competition, leaving tomorrow.</p> <div></div>

<p>Speaking of birds, I was out birdwatching and found these:<br> Sunglasses - Saw the glasses and got a smile as a bonus</p> <div></div>

<p>Hmmm...I seem to be off by one month. At least the photos have the date right.</p>
