My sister-in-law asked me to take a few family photos. She sent a Pintrest photo that she liked, and we tried to do something very similar... C&C always welcome! Thanks for looking ;-)a

Nice. I would have used a longer lens to crop out some of the background and help blur it also at the same time.


Fuji XT-1, 18-55mm
Sony A7rIV, , Tamron 28-200mm, Sigma 40mm f1.4 Art FE, Sony 85mm f1.8 FE, Sigma 105mm f1.4 Art FE
Fuji GFX50s, 23mm f4, 32-64mm, 45mm f2.8, 110mm f2, 120mm f4 macro
Canon 24mm TSE-II, 85mm f1.2 L II, 90mm TSE-II Macro, 300mm f2.8 IS I

Yes, a longer lens would include less extraneous background and you need a much tighter crop the people make up less than 20% of the photo.

Thanks. These were with a Sigma 50mm non-A. Lots of folks talk about how great 85mm is, perhaps I should start asking for a Christmas present.
