More Change Alley Fashion show

[Petf69]

Since Mpenza posted "portraits", I'll will post some fullbody shots.
In fact just collected the Tamron 28-75 lens like 10mins before the show. Shot using Av mode f5.0, ISO400 (default paramenters), with fill-in flash.

Are the pictures soft? Only used auto contrast and auto level. No sharpening.








Comments welcome.

tks

This model has such long legs..I had difficulty fitting them in the photo...

Here's a 100% crop of the model above

looks good. nice and sharp. 10D gives slightly softer pics out of camera compared to default settings of 300D. so generally, you'll want to apply a little sharpening.

You are using the wrong lens for the shoot. At least 70-200mm lens preferred. Bear in mind even in digital crop of 1.6 for canon does not mean that your 28-75mm lens can be used as a portrait lens. Your just mearly cropping the shot without knowing your lens perspective. Try out a portrait lens and you will know the difference!

were you at the location? a 70-200 lens would get you only half body to head shots at this particular location.

also, perspective changes with distance to subject (and not just the focal length alone) and a pic of a subject taken with a 75mm lens on a 1.6x cropping factor DSLR will look exactly the same (perepective and otherwise, given no optical distortion and ignoring the depth of field effects) as a pic taken by a 120mm lens on a film SLR placed side by side. try it and you'll know there's no difference.

Well it may not be the best lens for the job but as I just bought it..must test it right?

also we were standing just in front of the stage...almost can touch the models when they were at the edge of the cat walk...I don't think I'll need the 200mm for such as small stage...

That's not true. Perspective is solely a function of subject distance from the lens. Perspective does not depend on the focal length be it cropped or non-cropped. Check this out : http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/Glos...pective_01.htm

That means you can use a 28mm to shoot (even on film) and still get "correct" shots.

for this kind of distance range can use the 17-40L

[Petf69]
