Under the remote supervision and advice of Evan Baines i\'ve been trying for the past few days to achieve proper Broad and Short light portraits. My 1st attempt was flawed mostly because i did not understand properly the subject to camera relative subject positioning.
So i made another attempt at it today with the help of my beast Friend Gilbert. We go way back and we studied photography together over 33 years ago. He still has most of his film and paper gear but hasn\'t shot a frame in years. But i think i might be influencing him to get back in the saddle after today\'s shooting. At my request he brought his 105mm f2.5 old manual Nikkor lens and i shot with it. Granted it does not have the Bokeh of the new lenses around these days but it is still a very sharp lens, small and light and very agreeable to shoot with. Wish i hadn\'t sold mine.
So without further due this is my attempt for today.
Sure hope i got it right this time, i for one am completely sold to the short light. I\'ll be using it a lot in the future i\'m sure.
I know the pose might not be perfect but Gilbert was kind enough to help me out although he hates being in front of the camera (like most photographers) So i didn\'t push it and worked quickly so we could have lunch together and catch up on everything.
C and C welcome as always :-)
1-) Broad light
2-) Short light
3-) Side by side comparison.
