p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Sometimes she cooperates!


Natural light from window. Still trying to nail down the AF fine tuning with my D300 and my 80-200 f/2.8 ED lens and my 300 f/4 ED lens. I will be printing this one out for my wife as a belated Valentine's day gift.

Nice. Forget shooting the 80-200 @ 2.8 on close distances...it if soft-ish. Stop down to f3.5 or even better f4 and make sure you get at least 10-12 feet away from your subject. Cheers

I'm gonna disagree with Ronan. I like the shallow DOF here. Your wife is going to love this shot!

Thanks for the C&C. I like the shot...but I can certainly see the appeal shooting at f/4 and a bit farther away. She is going to be my test subject as she usually does what I want (except for the occasional tongue sticking out!) and she is very cooperative.

I think it's a great shot. She's adorable. I know how you feel about uncooperative children.

I wasn't referring to composition and certainly the shallow DOF works well here. I was merely indicating that that particular lens (80-200) is a bit soft wide open and benefits from stopping down a bit.

Adjust the color balance before you print. Warm her up a bit.

I was looking at the image this morning and I agree completely. Thanks!
