Portrait from Focus on imaging

[David J. Swinnerton]

Taken the other week at Focus on imaging Birmingham NEC in low-ish light taken with my Olympus E30 70mm to 300mm lens f4 1/125th sec iso 640.

All comments welcomed, and thank you for looking.

Its a nice shot, but I cant help the feeling that she is tired of posing!
Compositionally its nice though, and the lighting is very natural looking!
where abouts was this taken? what stand?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Lovely out of focus background, and softness on the model. Very nice.

She was on the Olympus stand. Nice shot seeing that it was very hard to get close with the large crowd.

 

[David J. Swinnerton]

Yes she was on the Olympus stand, I tried to capture her between poses, to get a natural looking, it was difficult to get because the crowd was about 8 deep at this time, it was only about 20 minutes in on their performance, but as I said I didn't want that model pose look. Just glad I managed to get a descent shot of them.

Good shot David.
As a guy with an e-600, I approached a gentleman with an e-30 loaded up with a 70-300mm blasting out some great shots at high ISO at focus on imaging. Was this you by any chance David?

 

[David J. Swinnerton]

Yes it most likely was didn't we have a chat and you gave me a card with this forum on it.
Nice to meet you Dan on here did you have a good day.
