A friend of mine had seen my flickr and asked me if I could take some shots of her kids. She hadnt gotten any in a few years and she wanted something she could get printed. So off we went for a siblingshoot. First time I have done it myself. It's quite hard in such a situation to get any "soul" in the photos I think. It's quite artificial for two kids that don't know you to act natural.
I would appreciate some feedback, both of pictures and if the motifs and pictures are what a parent would look for in their kids portraits. I tried not to be too conventional.
All shots done with the 85mm.
I know the sun is a bit too harsh in some. These are few, but I got some more that I havent edited yet or anything. So there will be more. And the edits are really just samples, and quick adjustments. I will ofcourse do it properly when she have selected what to print. But this shows roughly how I shot the whole time. _________________ My homepage, all manual shots |

Like I said in the other thread where you posted these, #2 has something special for me, because it makes me remember of how it felt at that age, to spend long afternoon with friends, when life was so simple.
I think that the fact that the faces are not visible, helps the poetry, because you can put any face in your mind, maybe yours of your memories.
But of course your friend would be more interested in the pics where you can see the faces, and I think that they're all good.
I really like the B&W tones and I really like the colours in the colour pic. Did you use film or..?
So overall great work I would say.
One final note about the lens, I always loved this lens' images. I never managed to get one for a right price. One day I'll do. _________________ Orio, Administrator

By the way, I wonder how is it that this "gokevincameras" has bought them all and now reselling them at triple their then-normal price... _________________ Orio, Administrator

2, 4 and last are really nice. That also covers boy/girl and together. Maybe you shout try to get a line, so the PP are the same style.

Well, I have both and I'm planning to do a shoot-out soon. But with some PP, my impression is that you can make the output nearly identical. The SMC 85/1.8 appears sharper wide open though. _________________ Peter - Moderator
