Default My other portrait lens

My portrait lens is the 85/1.4, and the Cream Machine has few peers. But in certain situations, other lenses can challenge it. I was visiting my insurance agent today. He's an aspiring photographer, and I helped him put together a d50 rig last year. He was asking me about bounce flash, so I demonstrated by taking a snap of his admin.



She happened to have a friend visiting, who asked me to take a picture of her as well.



She left the room, came back without her jacket, and started posing with enthusiasm! What could I do but accomodate her?







The lens? It was my 60mm micro.

Nice use of bounce flash and that lens is very nice! So sharp.

My Insurance Agent is a guy, and has no admin like that. Got an address

Kidding (well, not really, but you know). Don't post the address....
