Out here in the real world, everybody makes mistakes and sometimes when making portraits, I loose track of my camera settings, don’t keep up with changing lighting conditions or simply forget to chimp if I’m shooting with a digital camera.

Any portrait shoot is a team effort so its important that you talk to your subject and discuss what you and they would like to accomplish during a shoot. Many times I’ve seen photographers shooting portraits but expecting the subject to do all the work. Sometimes that approach works and sometime it doesn’t.

When I went to the UPS Store to return these lenses to the manufacturer, I felt a sigh of relief as if a burden had been lifted from me. The three lenses along with shipping box and brown crunchy packing paper weighed 25 pounds.
