Re: PESO: subject interaction
Boris, Joaquim, thank you for your thoughts. Yes, the leaves really look weird, something I hadn't seen when taking the shots. I was thinking of cropping very much away from around the woman in focus, yet that would have been different pictures. Is it that what you meant by close-up stealth shot, Joaquim, or should I try to get closer to the lady without being noticed? The scan still has lots of reserve, so if you like I can post a center crop. Actually, she's the wife of the man who organizes this searies of concerts every year, so I'll most probably see her next sunday. Thank you, pancho
Re: PESO: subject interaction
Hi! Hi, here is a pair of shots I made a few weeks ago at a concert in our local botanic garden: http://www.vollholz.de/peso/frau_j.html (taken with my Vivitar S1 3.5/70-210 (2nd version) fairly wide open AFAIR, on superia 100) They made me think of the long discussion about sniping or interacting with persons to photograph. I can't say which of both is stronger and I don't feel the need to do so. I think they are completely diferent from each other. What is your oppinion? I'd choose the second (one on the right) one. I think it has some sense, while the first one appears rather empty to me. The leaves on the back do look like some kind of a space-time warp or a wormhole... ;-). Boris
Re: PESO: subject interaction
The bokeh is smoother on the near out of focus than on the far, the Pentax 70-210mm does it the other way around. I actually like the out of focus leaves though. The second picture is stronger of course but for a reason, that women is asking: "why the hell is that guy pointing that long lens at me?" What I really would like would be a close-up stealth shot pancho hasselbach wrote: Hi, here is a pair of shots I made a few weeks ago at a concert in our local botanic garden: http://www.vollholz.de/peso/frau_j.html (taken with my Vivitar S1 3.5/70-210 (2nd version) fairly wide open AFAIR, on superia 100) They made me think of the long discussion about sniping or interacting with persons to photograph.
