[QUOTE=Ohfoohy;36601092]I have an 18-135 f/3.5-5.6 and a 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6[/QUOTE] Use the 28-80mm, and set it to maybe a 50mm focal length, or a 35mm focal length to allow your aperture to open further, and shoot away. it should provide for some decent bokeh if you're going to be shooting up close for the portrait. however, i'd say only to use that if you were shooting with a backdrop that could produce an immense amount of bokeh, e.g, trees, or other foliage. more over, if you're shooting with a backround that doesn't produce an extensive amount of bokeh, then i'd say you're fine with the lenses you're using. especially if it's an urban area, or something along those lines. keep in mind, this is all just my opinion, shoot however you'd please, i'm sure they'll turn out fine. good luck. :>

just bought myself a Hasselblad 150mm f/4. Cool.
Taken many shots with your Hasselblad?
[QUOTE=Roll_Program;36607048]Taken many shots with your Hasselblad?[/QUOTE] Ive had the Hasselblad a fair few months, and put about 7-10 rolls through it, i'd say.
Where do you post them?
Okay, so I'm a pretty shit photographer (see: [url=https://secure.flickr.com/photos/166291/]my flickr[/url], but I've got it stuck in my head that I want to move to a DSLR. I'm looking at getting a K-5, but I'm not a professional photographer, I'm just a hobbyist. I sit at computers all day. Should I look at getting a K-r instead?
[QUOTE=Roll_Program;36608770]Where do you post them?[/QUOTE] I've probably posted like three in total out of all the photos I've taken. On here, and Flickr. I should have more post-worthy stuff with this 150mm f/4 though i think. So maybe ill be posting more.

I like your 'Signs' photo.
Do you guys know that feeling when you are at some event, getting pictures and then you see some old people who look kinda creepy and some fat guy with fat hair, pimples but of course two tripods, several lenses and what not who are taking pictures too and you just can't do anything but feel "Oh my god I hope people don't associate me" ? I mean, there was this really disgusting guy with his tripod and equip and he wasn't moving an inch and snortig all the time and I felt really bad as I was taking pictures too gaaah
[QUOTE=Jookia;36610232]The k-r has less lag, and image stabilization. I like your 'Signs' photo.[/QUOTE] Actually, both have image stabilization. And by the way I didn't mean to look at that part with the pictures of the cameras, go down a little bit to the part that says "differences". That's where all the advantages to the specific cameras are listed. But yeah you've pretty much got to pick less shutter lag or overall better image quality. Also, thanks :)
so i got a haircut and left the building with a job in wedding photography the other day sweet
Got an invite to "Group with experience" on flickr.. duh
[video=youtube;0NKUpo_xKyQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NKUpo_xKyQ[/video] This video is pure photographer porn bokeh and "3D" lightpainting hng
and ellie goulding is hot as hell
[QUOTE=latin_geek;36609945]Your pictures are okay but they lack a subject :][/QUOTE] I personally really like the lack of subjects. They're just nice images, give off a nice peaceful feeling
Yeah, [i]every[/i] photography simply cannot resist light painting and bokeh abuse.
I for one can't

[QUOTE=Killuah;36624137]Fuck I just saw a firework a week ago and couldn't shoot much since no tripod and stock lens...[/QUOTE] stock lens will still work pretty well, I was shooting at f/3.5 for pretty much all of those, ~f/4.2 if you zoom in a bit won't kill ya also lack of a tripod isn't too much of a bugger, especially if you're doing those bokeh balls. If you're doing sharp stuff it might come out wonky though [img]http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/11/screenshot2012070417552.png[/img] also the Adobe Creative Suite official facebook page liked my set and said they'd share it later in the week, woo
[QUOTE=Him1411;36619298]and ellie goulding is hot as hell[/QUOTE] She went to my Uni.
Mind giving some criticism on these shots? I liked them when I took them, but I spent like 30 minutes editing these and other really bad shots so I ended up getting tired of looking at them and gave up, even though it still seems like something is not quite right on both.
