Yes
Iv been watching this show and really enjoying it... weve got a studio meet comming up this month and have watched trying to get inspiration on poses and trying to see what lens's the togs use..

Anyway, theres a guy that uses canon but i cant tell what lens is being used.. im assuming its an 85mm L but its just a guess..

Anyway, with the poses im starting to get a bit jittery!! im seeing things id never had thought of.. i know that getting them to throw their heads just before taking the shot gives a nice bit of movement and gives life to the shot, but jeez.. id never had thought of the things they'd got em doing..

Theres me thinking (Somewhat romanticaly) that a few sessions in the studio and id be able to do it for a living.. lol... iv even been thinking about the possibilities of getting somewhere that i could kit out as a studio..

I know I know.. i dont need the 'its not as easy ect ect' lectures about it being fun as a hobbie and not enough work and the anyone can take a picure but to be great stuff.. i know im a dreamer.. :shrug:

But what WAS that lens????? :thinking:
 
Its in the title..

Find me the Face..

Its about 2 model scouts that get given a brief each week and they've goto 'find the face'.. its good.. its a competition between the two of em..

Im suprised you guys havent seen it!! its right up our street..
 
Yeah seen that show a few times, it's not bad, especially when you're bored at 3am.

The other photographer uses a Nikon. She uses it (think it's a D200 or D300) with the pop-up flash...in a studio...seems stupid that the equipment in said studio probably costs upward of a grand and she's using the pop-up flash. Her photos are no where near as good as the dude using a Canon.

The guy with the Canon isn't using the 85, I think it might be a 24-105. Hard to tell, they only show the photographer for quick flashes.
 
Naa, its not the 24-105, its quite a thick but stubby lens.. im sure its a prime.. id say it may be in the region of 1.2 appeture as its got such a wide body for a short lens..

The woman tog, im sure once she used a Sigma lens!! but the Nikon and sigmas look similar dont they.. and i think she uses the pop up flash to fire the main lights, and for a little fill.. though im no expert..
 
wouldnt load for me Sheep.. but if its called 'Find Me The Face' thats the one.. :thumbs:


Its good to watch for our up comming premier..
 
Thats the chappie..

In fact thats the episode iv just watched..
 
Mmm.. just had a look at one on ebay, it dont look like it.. but id need to see it ON a camera to get the look right..
 
Yeah, it could be, but i cant help thinking that it still looks too big.. fatter and longer that the 50.. :shrug:

Thats just my eyes most likley.. :lol:

Its an interesting proggy though..
 
:lol: im not THAT bothered!! lol.. just wondered.. whatever it is i cant afford one!! :bang:

The 50f1.2 is very fat.I have the 85L and was shooting a model from about the same distance as he was using a 1dsmk2 and all I could frame was head and shoulders thats What is making me think 50L:)
 
yer, i was thinking that too, the reason i thought it was the 85 was the shere size of the thing.. the size of the crop was more like the 50...
