Post your best portraits(street, studio, candid etc...).

[Eldar]

After 40 years I have decided to use artificial lights (!). Today I shot my first series ever, with multiple flashes and soft boxes, using 2 Canon 600EX-RT, mounted in Lastolite soft boxes, remotely controlled by a ST-E3-RT.

The portrait is of my very intellectual mentor, Morten. A great guy, with wisdom beyond most people´s imagination.

I am new to the site and there are some fantastic shots here. I am also new photography, I plan on getting better as I want to make photography a serious hobby for myself. I captured this one of my wife while a friend took us out sailing in Turkey.

Well, not too much wrong with the Otus 85 then, lovely Images Eldar.

My Otus 85 is sitting in my Apartment, my Son picked it up for me, won't get to play until he meets us in December, Diving in Komodo, not with the Otus though.

This recent holiday I came away with all Zeiss Lenses with the exception of the 200f/2, challenges the Focussing skills that's for sure, especially in low light conditions.

Thanks,

Yes, the Otus 85 is just as good as the Otus 55. I am totally sold! Looking at the full resolution RAW files on my monitor, I wonder what these images would have looked like, if I had the (illusive) 50MP, 14 stop DR camera ...

I have never worked with artificial light before, beyond the occasional straight forward flash use. I must admit that it was fun and something I will be doing more of in the future.

Here´s one more, shot with the Otus 55. The Idea of this series was to capture his intellectual character, seasoned face and sharp eyes, and the immense respect I have for him.

That's powerful! The punchy red and brown tones throughout the photo makes it a winner for me.

Yes, indeed! Straight after posting this I saw the separate post showing the same guy - an internet celebrity!

OK, I'll toss one up that is one of my wife's favorite shots of my 2nd son at a pool party. It's from 2010 when he was younger and it was right after I purchased my 5Dc camera used. My son ran up and surprised me and I managed to fire off this shot by reflex. No warning or anything. Fun times!!
