Here we go with a few kiddies shots taken this morning in a portrait setting. I really have no idea what I'm doing with this lens but it sure is fun trying to learn. I for one really like extremely shallow DOF portraits, and I think the 135mm F2 excels at these types of shots. (Does anyone have an 85mm F1.2 lying around not isn use?? )

With these images I wasn't concerned with exposure or crop as much as focussing correctly on the eyes eg the subject's right eye.

shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarp!

great light too.

Sharp it is Laurie, too sharp maybe, but there's always Photoshop!

they're all good max....i do like the second image because the little one is away from the back ground.....well done .

cheers pa

Love the second one!!! That expression rocks. The light you have captured in the eyes of the first 2 make the picture come to life for me...

#2 should be printed and framed, very nice

They are beauties Max. Did you manual focus? Children are so beautiful an unblemished, it's just hard to get them to sit still.

Excellent pictures! Of course, it helps when you have good looking models!

They are related to their favourite uncle!

No Bob, all auto focus, but I'm trying to learn the art of MF and yes, they never do keep still so it's high ISO, F2 and high shutter speed all the way!
