I reckon it would be better to zoom into their faces. Too much stuff in the background.

Which begs the question, is a standard zoom lens or a telephoto better for such shoots?

I tried candid shots with my 17-50mm tamron last week and it was rather challenging. It was hard to get up close to the subject without them noticing me. I just procured myself the Canon 70-200mm 2.8 which i shall try to use this coming weekend to snap candid shots again.

Hm...wonder which will be easier. The Tamron is light and decidedly more sneaky. The canon is faster to focus and has a longer reach but is cumbersome and attention-grabbing. hmm!

Shall report back with my findings!

Bring a kaki along lor. Pretend to shoot him/her, but the actual subject is something far behind.

If you are looking at range, the 40D+135mm f2 L is a beautiful setup.

Many of my contacts on flickr uses this, truely capable of getting sharp images wide open and a valuable tool for photographers with keen eyes.

Only thing is the price.

I just procured a 70-200 2.8L. should be testing it out this weekend, i think it has potential, this.

Only problem might be the sheer heft of it.
