One thing though. I really put my 55-250 to good use sia. Only now realise that anything less than 50mm is really too up close for outdoor shoots. Also, quite a few of my "tele" shots (>100mm) turned out rather nice. Now I understand why tele primes are so favoured for portrait shoots. Bokeh even at f-stop > 4 is still quite nice. Just need to avoid including objects near the model.
My technique still got problem though. I found it quite troublesome to keep on changing AF points and so was using the AF-lock on eyes and shift to re-compose. But then, had to delete quite a few shots because eyes/face turned out blur. My composition still needs a hell lot of work, but today's shoot was definitely a good experience, especially with advice from scud.
Regret for not changing to 70-300mm lens today.
It is hard for me to get a decent shot with my tamron 17-50mm F/2.8 as I need to go very near to the model for the shoot.
Some of my shots are blur also as recomposition with thin DOF is tough.
Scud's advice is really a :thumbsup: for today session.
I am now pp some of Samantha's photos.
Intend to give the photos autumn feel for her series.
Adjusting the colour now and still trying hard to think a theme for today shoot.
