One of my favorite students conned me into taking some senior portraits of her. She was my faithful TA for a year and I couldn't say no. Unfortunately, my TA for this year has found out and I will be taking his portraits soon. So, feedback would be appreciated. All were taken with an R8 or R4 in manual mode. I metered on the sunlit background if there was any, then set my Metz flash for fill at -2 1/3 stops. The lenses were either a 90/2.8 or an old Sima 100 soft focus. Anyone remember that lens from the early 80's? I found it the other day in a box and said, lets give it a try. I didn't get to scan many of the photos I gave her, as she was excited to get them. Most of the Sima ones were from slides I had in my R4 and was just finishing the roll. She hasn't seen them yet. http://168.212.133.189/wwwpages/senior/ Please feel free to pick and critisize. I won't include a form as had been suggested, but if you want to return one, that is fine with me. I am not a portrait photographer. Yet is was fun doing these and I would not mind doing it for some of my favorite students who can't afford a "real" photographer. Aram This message is made of 100% recycled electrons.
