I like the compression of a 200mm for portraits--it's usually quite flattering! Nice lighting on that shot (warm on one side, cool on the other)!

The 105 OTOH, ugh! Haven't seen that many donuts since Krispy Kreme.

One more from the Super-Takumar 50/1.4 @ 2.0 (iirc), on 40D. I do love it!

Wayne ...

OUCH !!

Gotta love the Specular highlights increasing in size in both directions, especially toward infinity. This could be a 'textbook' shot to explain DOF and it's different characteristics in front of vs. behind focal point.

NICE !!

Thanks Kent and Paul!
This lens is incredible, fast, sharp, smooth buttery bokeh, and with Zeiss drawing style.
The jewel of the Sony lens lineup but on my 1ds3.

Yes, I know... It was left to my from my father who passed away some years ago.
It came with a Canon 7 rangefinder, but hte camera is broken, so I am looking for a good deal on a "new" one.

Anden,

Great Capture !!

I really like the "her eyes open" ... "his eyes closed". It really depicts the moment, not to mention the seeds blowing by.

I also like the OOF tree limb in back framing the space between the two of them. Either you got VERY LUCKY with that element of composition, or you pulled off a staged shot that looks totally natural. Either way ... GREAT WORK !!

I could see this having huge appeal ... if you know how to get it to market.

Guess the lens! 5D Mk II 200mm @ f/4

sorry about the boring subject.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a96/Nephilim666/Tokina.jpg

It's a Tokina 200mm f/3.5 m42 lens I found in dad's old camera bag. Not sharp at all but nice bokeh as you'd expect from almost every 200mm though.

I disagree completely. I think it's too bad that the boy's eyes are closed. But what do I know?

Can you tell I'm spending a lot of time in the garden today?
