    Elle & Jackson

    2 Grandchildren elle 14mths Jackson 2 yrs.
    Both unwitting models who just happened to call by when I was unwrapping recently purchased 135mm F2. I wanted this lens for its clarity and bokeh(?) I had little or no chance to think about my camera settings before their parents whisked them off again, so in for the penny etc Guidence and comments welcome.
    All shots taken with 7D and 135mm lens and natural window light. ISO Auto.

            Thanks for the comment Stan.

            They were spur of the moment pictures I was using expanded centre point AF only because these had been my last camera settings, hence the one eye being out of focus in the last shot, ears out of focus in others!

              had assumed that was down to narrow dof from using a wide aperture

                Sorry Stan. Yes your correct I bought the lens for that effect 135mm f2, but I've no real experience with portraits and while I'm pleased with the pics I was looking for comments; had I over done it with the dof etc.

                Thanks for taking the time to comment

                  The most important part of a portrait, whether it be a person or wildlife is the eyes - focus on them and get them sharp and to an extent let the rest take care of itself. Whether generally using f2 is right or not, I am not sure - I usually try to stick to around f8 unless the light is low, then I would open up more
