Well yes, when I went the first time it was for most of the kids their first photo. My wife overheard a few girls saying they almost peed their pants being nervous. If they only had known I was just as nervous...
Thank you, yes agreed 5.6 to 8 would be best.
I think I may like you...
And don't worry, an afternoon with these kids leaves me for a week with a big grin on my face!
Thanks all! I do not wish to buy a new lens, so I believe now that the 24-70 will do the job.
My hobby is photography and I live in Costa Rica. My hobby allows me to volunteer at many events were lots of disadvantaged younger people attend. I take pictures, have this printed and give the prints to these people. It makes them happy, and me possible happier.
There is one particular school down in one of the many valleys where there is a school with only 30 students, from kindergarten to grade eight. Uniforms are passed on to younger siblings, schoolbooks are a prized possession. Three teachers with hearts of gold!
I have been taking portraits of these kids in the past years and go again later this week. I have been using a Sony 50mm F/2.8 Macro and I found the results pretty good. However, I often read about photographers using a longer lens for portraits, which brings me to the question what other lens could I possible use. I have in my arsenal a.o. a Sony 70-300G SSM f4.5-5.6 and a Sony 24-70 mm F2.8 ZA SSM Carl Zeiss. I mount these on a Sony A99ii. Any advice on any of these 3 lenses? Thank you.
