Portraits of my daughters Made both of these with the edge80. I've had it on my camera a lot to practice using it. I'm getting better at using it, but still have a tough time seeing the slice until I get it on the computer.

Both stunning. I especially like the first with the clear but subtle emphasis on her eyes. It seems to use the Edge 80 to its best advantage.

I agree, this is the strength of the edge 80.]]> Marcum Show And Tell Tue, 27 Mar 2012 18:55:18 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159557#msg-159557 Re: Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159557#msg-159557 BFCoughlin Show And Tell Tue, 27 Mar 2012 18:34:26 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159535#msg-159535 Re: Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159535#msg-159535 Crabcakes Show And Tell Tue, 27 Mar 2012 06:36:51 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159530#msg-159530 Re: Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159530#msg-159530 jffoto Show And Tell Tue, 27 Mar 2012 00:19:37 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159525#msg-159525 Re: Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159525#msg-159525 Pipyr Show And Tell Mon, 26 Mar 2012 20:07:44 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159418#msg-159418 Re: Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159418#msg-159418 bigmikemuin Show And Tell Fri, 23 Mar 2012 03:53:15 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159390#msg-159390 Re: Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159390#msg-159390 Song42 Show And Tell Thu, 22 Mar 2012 03:30:23 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159348#msg-159348 Re: Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159348#msg-159348
the #1 is amazing, the focus is on the eyes, however her lips are most impressive to me since they are soft and liquid.

the #2 is nice too, i like her eyelash and the composition of the photo]]> jackfung Show And Tell Wed, 21 Mar 2012 06:39:54 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159326#msg-159326 Re: Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159326#msg-159326 -Michael]]> Michael from Lensbaby Show And Tell Tue, 20 Mar 2012 16:36:20 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159324#msg-159324 Re: Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159324#msg-159324

Typically, I shoot for clarity in portraits, that being said I'll add, there are NO absolutes. Sometimes one may be moved to do something a bit softer.

Indeed DaLowrider, and with the arrival of Lensbaby the absolutes as to what constitutes a portrait (or any traditional genre of photography) went out the door. I like a well done traditional portrait, landscape, or macro, but find more life in what a Lensbaby can achieve.

To each their own way of photographing, and those on here are not shooting Lensbaby exclusively, just most of the time, if they are shooting like I do. ;>)]]> Marcum Show And Tell Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:40:44 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159323#msg-159323 Re: Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159323#msg-159323
I like the first frame, I like the coloration and the way her lips are slightly colored and contrast nicely with the rest of the frame. Shadow/Light is very pretty.

The crop is super, I like Dutch angles, they seem to add motion or energy or something for me as a viewer. I apply the rule of thirds as well and in tandem they work well from my perspective.

The bottom line is .. we all know what we like, sometimes not even really why we like it cause we just DO and that's enough. I like this photo, nicely done.]]> Da Lowrider Show And Tell Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:39:48 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159321#msg-159321 Re: Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159321#msg-159321 waniek Show And Tell Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:37:44 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159318#msg-159318 Re: Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159318#msg-159318 Both are beautiful.
Nr.2 is really great!
How did you do the B&W conversion?

I like #2 in B&W, it sets a pensive mood. You are indeed blessed with these lovely daughters; they remind me how much I miss my grand children; I will fill up an 8gig card or two when I get to visit them again.]]> Marcum Show And Tell Tue, 20 Mar 2012 11:57:48 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159314#msg-159314 Portraits of my daughters http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,159314,159314#msg-159314
