How I started...

Hee, hee...for portraits, I actually have no favourite lens. As you can see from this shot, the weather at Fort Canning was very hazy, just after a downpour. So the only type of shots I could take with soft lighting was close up:

Make: OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP.
Model: E-500
Date & Time: 2005:11:20 11:08:32
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff :
Exposure Time: 1/200
F Number: 4.00
Exposure Program: program creative (slow program)
Bias: 0/10
Metering Mode: multi-segment
Light Source: 24
Flash:
Focal Length: 130.00

good pic.

any comments for me to improve the skill

So the only type of shots I could take with soft lighting was close up. If the weather is bad, the light naturally becomes diffused. I therefore shoot closeups. Downside is that I don't have as much highlights on the hair as I would love too (backlighting).

I am waiting for your 150mm F2 post to see what you can do with this lens. Have you found the sweet spot yet? I have just been experimenting shots with shallow DOF.

Here you go.....
