First K20D model shoot... yup, think I'll keep it...

First K20D model shoot... yup, think I'll keep it... · 01:34 PM

With life being so busy, I haven't had a lot of time to shoot with my new K20D.... but, Heather was in town for just a bit (she moved to Hawaii) and wanted to do a shoot.

I took a mild Strobist approach... used a wirelessly triggered AF-540 through a shoot-through umbrella.

All shots were with a DA* 50-135mm 2.8 except for the third image which used the FA 31mm 1.8 Limited.

Nice images...i particularly like the bokeh of the FA 31mm 1.8 Limited - was that taken wide open or f2/f2.8?

That one was actually at f4

Wow, really nice stuff.

I was just thinking that I hadn't seen you post here for awhile. Got any more?

rmtagg · 08-14-2008, 05:19 PM

Beautiful work

Peter Zack · 08-14-2008, 05:26 PM

Nice to see some of your work again. The first and last shots are excellent. I like the last one best. Doesn't hurt that it's the 31mm but the pose and limited DOF work in this shot.

I've just been taking a break from the forums. No worries.

I'll post a couple more in a post below. I also have another shoot that I haven't gone through yet and have another couple shoots planned this weekend. I'll post samples soon.

That last shot was actually with the 50-135. Both it and the 31 are excellent chunks o' glass.

A couple more for Fritz

Exquisite Hamid!
We've seen her before from you, and you've done it again!
Well done - these are brilliant.
Each is beautiful. All are favourites.
Love it!

Great series from you. Amazing photographs in deed. I am getting out this weekend to get some protraits too.

Gadget_Guy · 08-15-2008, 07:30 AM

I love the last shot in your original post!

She is stunningly beautiful and you did a fantastic job capturing her!

Well done!

Thanks Ash! Yes... I've shot with Heather before. In fact, she was one of the first models I worked with after getting my K10D way back when.

Thanks Paul! That's one of my favs from the lot too. It was just declined in the PPG haha!

Good work Hamid. Heather deserves credit also she is a wonderful model, ?I'd love to point my lens at her.

You do like to use that river don't you?
