You're right Jens, it looks like the AF kept locking on her bangs. Nice job though, hard model to shoot. Deep set eyes and she needed some makeup to help the look of her complexion, it's rather shiny and not very smooth. I'm still patiently awaiting the DA 70, hope it's as nice as the 77! ;-) Don

Hi Jens, I've hesitated to get into this because I, and most of us here, know you take beautiful photographs.

Hi Bob, Film, like the human eye, is very sensitive to subtle differences in tones at the darker end of the scale. It is very insensitive to the differences at the brighter end. Digital, on the other hand is linear, equally sensitive to all light levels. However, when shooting RAW you have only 12

I noticed that they go rather cheaply. The F 70-210 is a fine lens but IMO the bokeh is rather harsh for portraits. I like the results in Daves shot, I may have to try one. Don > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Lucas Rijnders > Sent: Tues

Nice Paul, I really like the way he stands out from the crowd. Good choice of DOF. The high key, light colored scene with his mostly black and white outfit works for me too. The only nit I have is that (on my monitor) his face looks rather washed out, like it needs a bit more contrast. Don > --
