Hi, I posted here a few days back saying I was going to get a 30D, well I got one and a 50mm f1.8.
Here's a few test shots, I love this camera. All shots are straight from the camera, and were taken in my lounge, no special lighting and I haven't got the hang of PS yet.
Let me know what you think, feedback greatly welcome.

I like #3, the light and pose works for me! shame about the hair close to her nose....the others are just OK for me, they seem a bit soft.
Congrats on the new gear!

#4 doesn't work for me, but i like the poses and crops of the others. #5 is probably the best for focusing, #3 for pose.

They're all slightly out of focus, but if you were going for soft, that's cool. ;)

I like the expressions of 2 and 5. Your model looks beautiful in 5. Any more to post?;)

your right they are, she will probably kill me for saying this but she suffers a little acne, we chose these shots as they show off her features without making the acne look to bad. Do you know of any other techniques I could have used?

Open up the aperature a bit... Just because it opens at f1.8 doesn't mean it should. Try f4 or so and take a reshoot. More of the face will be in focus, while the background should still be out of focus. I make this mistake all the time. I figure, the less DOF the better...But unless you're shooting something fairly static and 2D, it's better to stop down the lens a bit.

All said, the pics look good and the model looks very good. You mentioned acne... which isn't really noticable in these pics. Get Photoshop or Photoshop Elements ($100) and you can touch that kind of thing up fairly easily.

Good luck and have fun with your 30D!
