Shirtless

I never really did try any portraiture with this camera and I was kinda missing taking the big guy's portraits.

 

Today was warm and he took advantage by taking his shirt off. He wore those infamous pants that people around the world went a bit crazy over.I trimmed his hair soon after I shot this. We headed out for grub picking up Chipotle, Five Guys, and even McDonald's, for the fambam. I had him pause at the door when we got home for a couple attempts at portraits, but I digress.

 

Basically to help a friend out, I'm pawning off all my Alpha stuff for some cash. So with no photography business in sight, I'm just going back to hobby shooting with my little Oly.

 

I never really did portraits with this camera so I kinda have to be creative. With the kit lens, it's a lot harder to get the background to blur properly to isolate in a traditional portrait shot. But what a great camera it is for landscapes and architecture. The lines look great and the contrast makes buildings punchy. And the sensor sees the way I do. But the sensitivity range is very limiting. Not very important for me, but I'm sure there will be times I wish I had it.

 

But for now, photography will be for fun again and nothing more. No attempt at a business for the time being. A200 and A700... I'm going to miss you babies...
