When you get aroung to shooting portraits with that lens....
Long focal lengths like the 100 mm are used for portraits because it de-accentuates the nose. If you stand close to a subject for portraits the nose, relatively speaking is much closer to the lens making it look disproportionally large. So you have to stand back as far as possible. That's why you see many fashion photographers with massive lenses. Also, in aquarium, birds, and lots of other subject you want to get the sharpest photo you can. Tack sharp corals and feathers look awesome. But in portraits, no one wants to see the fine lines, pores, and other details in a persons face. For that you want a soft focus. This is best done in post processing. Mike |

RevHtree...
At this point what would you guess your success rate to be getting even the worst shot you've posted quality wise, color and focus. I know I'd be happy with pictures half as good as you have here but even on my best day I might get 1 in 50 that I even care to save. I'm not really talking about suitable for framing either, just trying to get across the look of a particular coral. Thanks... SteveU

Thank everyone I appreciate it!
Hey Steve my last shoot I got about 20ish out of about 60 which is not too bad. This was a better shoot for me as far as that goes. Here are a few of the pics. |

More great shots!
I'd be happy with 10 out of 60 being presentable. Most times I shoot 40-50 and I'll get maybe one that's even worth the space on the hard drive. SteveU

C • • • All of the above.  If it's in focus the colors way wrong, if the color's right the focus is so far off I'm wondering why I pressed the shutter. Canon has done a pretty good job of controlling the price structure on this camera and lens. The only place with any deals on them seem risky at best. SteveU
