Wedding Portrait

I like to use a 50mm 1.4 lens for portraits because of its large lens opening . In this image I am shooting at f-stop 1.4 which creates a very shallow depth of field. LynnFreeny.com

Bride Portrait Before Wedding

Portraits are interesting because I am always trying to capture just the right look that shows someones personality. That is not so easy because you are recording very complex information into a two dimensional glance so to speak. In this case the bride shows a very confident attitude just before her wedding. I used a 50mm lens set at f-1.4 . At such a wide opening the background gos totally out of focus eliminating any distractions.
