I am getting ready for taking loads of pics this Holiday Season ... my children coming "Home for Christmas", along with the nieces and nephews, brother and sisters ... !
I want to take some images really representing the spirit of the occasion with all the bells and whistles such as the Christmas tree, the lights and the decorations as backgrounds for the "human subjects".
I usually work with a wide open lens, as wide as I can according to the chosen lens, to give a touch of colourful Bokeh.
I'd just like to know what you folks out there use for camera/lens set up, including your personal and favorite.
Personally, I like a
soft type of light and lots of
soft Bokeh but at the same time trying to have "
crisp eyes" from my subjects!
My lens choices for this year:
FA 31mm Ltd
FA 43mm Ltd
Zeiss Planar 85/1.4 ... I thought of taking my Tamron 70-200/2.8 along but that is one major load to handle!
(There are a few more but I think this should suffice)
... camera: K20D or K7 and the flash is an AF 540 FGZ, and a good tripod.
So, if anyone wants to join in and give their "
Holiday Season Tips", please post here!
Cheers.
