Hiya folks.
I tried to do some headshots for a friend, which she needs for a bike website. So that's why the bike features in 2 of these 3... It's a part of the headshot. What I did was meet up with her for coffee before work, then scouted out some fall colors. The sky was a solid grey sheet cake of clouds with nary a ripple or hole to be seen, just Medium Grey as far as the eye could see. So I got low contrast light (a good thing?) but colors didn't really pop. Maybe it was for the best. I used the XT of course, and the 56 lens. I tried to vary the aparture and not shoot purely wide-the-hell-open, but I did blur out that background pretty well in most of the shots.
How did I do? What could I have done better?
A wide shot
A medium-wide
And finally a closer crop, sans-bike
Helpful comments could very include tips on how to handle her, not just the camera. I feel like I knew what to do with the XT, more or less.
