the dress was one that reflected the light so had trouble getting it right rear strobes where inches a way from the back-ground and the small soft box was above the camera, shot with a 16 45 f4 that's how tight it was in location no room really for the diffuser’s and soft box's to do there job right.

Do you have a holiday today??

James

The image i posted is from one from the gallery and the info exf?
states 200mm f/l But In saying that I am going to buy the 28-70 f2.8 today as now I've cooled off and realized it was a bit of an impulse buy (the magpie affect) but it will come in handy as I've got a school concert to go to next week and their is no flash's aloud.


I can always sell it. I am going to Florida next year it will come in handy over their I'm sure

James and thank you for your input mike

plus you've not seen the size of my soft box i think it stands around 3 to 4 feet tall.

james

focal length 200mm



this is not one of my shots just an example.

yes but not Candid portraits at wedding and in the street

churches where low light and some one picking there nose in the middle row plus polo in the new year


James

and i do have my 16 45mm f4 for portraits plus when I'm shooting a 3/4 shoot I will always put a 50 200mm on my camera anyway plus they didn't have the 135mm and it was calling my name the 50-135mm f2.8 is going to be my next lens in the new year
