Last week I couldn’t stay after class for our lab but here are the images I captured the week before. Our task was to find great light and compose shots using a variety of camera angles.
Here are three I captured of Karen. The first photo has the great light component but the camera angle is not flattering.
The second is a bit better but the last one with the light coming from above as she sat on the steps is the winner. Here I can see a tiny butterfly shape under her nose and the shadow under her chin separates her face from her neck allowing the viewer to concentrate on her face. The shallow depth of field is great too.
We tried some group posing shots too. This one was great because all the skin colors were well exposed, but the shallow DOF doesn't work.
I really would like a wide angle prime lens for group pics. The 24 f 1.4 ($1,900) or the 14 f 2.8 ($2,500) both look good to me. I may rent them a couple of times before making a decision – maybe this weekend – since I will probably take some group photos at the Autumn Fling.
