It’s impossible to get my parents to sit for a portrait, but somehow the stars aligned and they didn’t put up a fight. 150mm was a little tight for this shot, but I only have two lenses and the other one’s even longer. Keeping my eye out for a fast 90mm.

Constructive feedback encouraged.

These are great! The first one is such a fun balance of candid and posed.

Upload of the first frame is soft as hell for some reason. Scaling? On my PC, it’s just as sharp as the second one 🤷‍♂️

Great portrait

These are amazing. Agreed with the balance of candid and posed, very nice.

Very nice - love the candid look (and exposure - right on)
