p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · My little guy


Hello all,

I've been a lurker here for years. Frankly, I am as equally intimidated as inspired when I browse through some of the work. I previously shot with a Canon 40D. However, I was finally able to pull the trigger on a 5DMKIII and am just getting to know her. I figure I would use my 3 month old as a test subject.

I love seeing the work posted here as it motivates me to improve my skills.

Congratulations on your new camera and also your first post on FM. As a lurker, you probably know we are a friendly bunch and aim to help. We are rarely harsh in our comments and almost always polite.

So here goes - your first critique.

I find it a bit soft in the eyes. Maybe a portrait crop would look better too, given the subject is taller than he is wide.

Enjoy the new camera.

Thanks for the feedback!

I agree the eyes can be much sharper. I was shooting at f2.2 1/80 so I am not sure how much was misfocus vs a little camera shake vs Max moving.

I am still getting used to the full frame. The DoF seems to be more shallow compared to shooting with my crop 40D. I am in love with shooting on a FF body.

Nice shot ! I am one to think that sometimes "softness" works . Everything does not have to be Uber sharp all the time to be a nice portrait . Well done .

Thanks Manny. I've seen so many different styles. I think for me sometimes it depends on my mood. For this I liked the decreased clarity for the skin. I do think the eyes could have been sharper in general though as Jim pointed out.

sweet little guy!
definitely I agree with others: the eyes could/should be a little sharper. Awesome subject - have fun!

Thanks all. I need a steadier hand, slower moving child, more shutter or all three next time.
