I had the pleasure to shoot a few of my classmates for a project some while ago. At some point, the light was simply to good to not take a few portraits on the side.
An ex school colleague recently asked me if I wanted to shoot some photos of her. Crickey! Of course I would! First serious request (apart from my mom) to do portraits. So we visited the "Burgruine Wolkenstein" in Wörschach to do some shooting.
Some more of the images I shot that day. I already love my 5D (arrived yesterday), but I don't think I'll ever feel as... connected to it. Plus, I hate the colours coming out of it.
I got out and shot some portraits. We started the "session" (which is a way to professional word) a bit to late, so there wasn't any sunlight any more. I somewhat struggled with my editing, but I like how these came out.
also, I've recently bought a Canon 5D Mark I, so this was probably the last serious use the old Olympus will see. It's still a great camera, despite its many flaws.
Shot some portraits of a long-time friend at the "Seewiesn" in Altaussee. Doing "manly" portraits is far harder than finding poses for girls, still, some came out quite good.
I promised you a few portraits yesterday. Here they are. I do feel like I'm getting better in people photography, but I still feel horribly uncomfortable doing it.
And what do we have here? Why, it's a photo of myself.
I wanted to do some portraits, so I placed some random dude in the woods, although a hot girl would have given me instant internet fame. How very disappointing!
On a side note, getting to grips with the new lens. DoF is quite shallow at 2.8 obviously, and the Olympus's tiny viewfinder is very annoying, but eventually it will work out.
