Canon 5D + 16-35 f/2.8 L USM + ST-E2 + 580 EX II bounced to the ceiling.

Attractive couple.

16-35mm is not a typical portrait lens, but it seems to have worked well here.

Very nice, Antonio.

I was shooting with that lens because I was making some shots of her mother's anniversary with some people around.

This picture is a crop of the original, which is very "wide" (?).

Tomorrow I will try to work a bit more on the image to fine tune it and try to make it better.

What happened to me - again, again - is that I had the compensation set to (-) 1/3 of the normal exposure. I always forget to reset the camera !
I must get used to reset it every time I finish the pictures. :bash:bash:bash

Cheers.

I don't want to be mis-understood here, Antonio, my comments did not suggest any criticism whatsoever.

The point I was trying to make about portraits with the 16-35 is that is takes some skill to do it. Most portraits are shot with mild telephotos, but that any lens can be used for protraits if done with skill and care as you certainly did in this image. Kudos to you!

Even if you were making any criticism, it would be wellcomed. It is with criticism that we grow up. And also by imitation.

I am aware that wide angle lens make some barrel distortion - larger on the full framed cameras - and this is why I was not too close to them.
I am at work now but I intend - if I remember - to post here the original picture for you to see where I was.

Very flatering of you to tell me that I was using the lens with skill and care.
A funny thing however: I act by instinct, by impulse. I only think that I have to master the flashes not the crop.:D

Jim.
I have done the picture again but... but ... with Lightroom !
The result is far better as you can see.
I insert here the original for you to see. I don't get closer that this distance with the 16-35 !
