I found a great portrait photographer, perhaps one of the best in the world! He lives in Escheburg, Deutschland and his name is Markus Schwarze. Here are some photos of his. He mostly uses a 5D and 35mm f1.4. Here are a whole bunch of his photos http://www.flickriver.com/photos/wefwef/popular-interesting/ but here are a few I liked in particular.
This is my first HDR photo ever. I used Photomatrix Pro 3.2. Clearly there are some things I need to work on. First off, I need to use a tripod. While the software aligns the photos, it does not do a super job. Also, the biggest flaw is the photo is the depth of field. The right side is clear and in focus, however, the left is not. I shot this at 2.8f. If i shot it at 7f or 9f not only would it be slightly sharper, but everything would be in focus. This, I feel is one area where a shallow depth of field is not a good thing. Anyways, I just got my T2i today and it’s been awesome so far. I am very impressed with the photo and video capabilities.
