Rehashes from my
LA Forum Meet thread
Self-critique: I was just going for a general crowd shot here, but with the shallow-depth-of-field, this picture would be much better if the focus point had been on the young woman to the right
All were taken with a rented 85mm f/1.2 lens, which is amazing for people photos, especially in low light.
I'm at the point where I am as interested in taking people pictures as I am pictures of buildings when I'm walking around in an urban area. This is quite a change from years ago, when I tried to take pictures of buildings without getting any people in the shot. I can attribute this shift without a doubt to the fine photography I've encountered on this site.
