I think the light makes that particular shot. not the lens. good catch of window light.
my favorite portrait lens is a 35/1.4. puts you in the frame and just enough depth of field.

I forgot to ask in my original question rodi... on a FF or APS-C?
35mm seems pretty wide, unless you're that in-your-face kinda guy. ![]()

thanks, it worked out pretty well, i was happy with it. unfortunately the light changed shortly after, so i tossed the flash on, but i wasn't too comfortable with a flash yet at that time, so it didn't work out as well after.

that's basically what i've learned at this point, unless i'm using it just to light the room a bit.
it's either on the camera, or aiming at the ceiling. unless i have the flash sized soft box, then i just hold it in my hand (when i'm using the 7D) and let it flash remotely while i'm aiming it somewhere. can be pretty fun to play with that way. |

rodi, do you find any distortion using the 35 f/1.4 for portraits? I've heard that using wider angle lenses aren't ideal for that reason.

but I think it's a natural perspective. with too long a lens, a face will look fat. a 35mm gives perspective and depth. at least to me. ![]()

Just picked up a Manfrotto background support kit (crossbar, two 1052BAC stands, 2 clips and a bag) plus two rolls of seamless paper. I was going to grab a 9' roll, then realized I didn't have the right rig to get it home! D'oh!
So instead of one background roll, I bought two of the narrower ones. The first was a neutral gray color, and I let my daughter pick out the other. She selected a Royal Blue, which also happens to be Chroma Key compatible! Nice job daughter!! Now to play around with some shots with the backgrounds and my recently acquired strobist kit...

I honestly thought that Nikon had a larger than ~30% market share in dSLRs:

Actually, in a lot of my traveling, I rarely see Nikons in the wild. Most of the Canon dSLRs I see are the Rebels.
