Now that is a top quality shot Richard! The question is how far were you from the subjects, I'm guessing around 12 foot? I think I will get mine out tomorrow and have a go.

Papa.

Thanks Papa. I guess I was about 8 or 9 feet away. I cropped a little to tighten it all up.

Thanks Andy and Tom!

For those who are interested, I have processed this and a couple of others also in B&W: http://flickr.com/gp/rcarcarca/oV6750/

"colleague, her mother and sister"

3 sisters surly?

Great portrait taken very well, I don't 'do' people shots as such due to many failures with DoF so this makes me appreciate it even more. Bravo sir!

Re: First time with 85L

I owe you a pint Richard! I was about to purchase the Zeiss 100mm F2 Makro last weekend, but after seeing this shot of yours last Friday I got my 85mm F1.2 II out and had another go at using it? Absolutely stunning lens on the Mark IV, with a superb background blur or as they say Bokeh!
So you saved me £1260, thank you very much.

Papa.

Thanks David and Mike! Yes, mother and two daughters. Perhaps one of the most beautiful trios you will come across! My colleague is the blonde one and she brought her mother and sister into the office last Friday. I leave you to guess which the mother is!!! Oh, and yes Mike, no 3 is probably my favourite as a threesome. They rarely see each other but had been together for ten days over Christmas!

Papa - delighted to have been of assistance!!! Happy to collect anytime!

Best

Richard
