Couple shots around the neighbors pool

00SS

The camera liked this youngster (neighbors grandkid)
Is there two much shadow ?
D50 - sig 70-300 @ 150mm f4.5 1/1250s iso200


but grandpa.. i didn't mean to knock over the tiki torch.. :rofl


last one - his grandma


Overall the 70-300 lens takes fairly decent portrait shots i think. I had my 50mm out as well, but will do some post to those first. these are SOOC

any thoughts / comments appreciated, I am trying to get some practice in before shooting my first portrait outing at the botanical gardens.

Your right 00SS, the Sig 70-300 has not failed you at all.
I love the second shot, the bokeh is pretty neat too,
it's also the sharpest of the three.

If these are your practise shots, then your on a good thing I'd say

Thanks Skippy, I of course will use mainly my 50 prime for the portrait shoot.. but I may end up with a few from this lens. It's def not the best (fastest) for wildlife shots.. but seems to work ok on people
