BOKEH BOKEH BOKEH - The Good and the Ugly

^^^You have the most wonderful animals, Stina. And your photographs of them are terrific!

Awe, thank you! I love animals, but this is my dad's cat. I have a little Jack Russell that unfortunately, loves to go after cats.
Otherwise I would take her in a minute.

Hanna from Photogenics modeling agency... 1Ds3 + 200 1.8L... ISO 400, f/1.8 @ 1/500sec... House lights for illumination..

Nice shot!
I'm afraid of prime lenses because I think I'm going to be either too close or too far and miss a shot, was this the case at all for you at the show? I'm assuming they were on runways, do you move around a lot, or do you just take the shots from one spot? I know this is kind of a stupid/newb question, but I just don't 'get' primes.

Ironically, I was the only idiot with a long prime... Hhahahhhaa... 99% of the other photogs were using both Nikon/Canon versions of the 70-200 f/2.8 lenses...

With regards to runway shooting, it's all about "location location location in the photographer's pit... Unfortunately I came a little bit late so I had to shoot from the side... Not too bad, considering that I could still overlook the seated guests and capture a full body shot as the models came in-and-out from the back... But dead center viewpoint is the desired spot... The models have a 'mark', just about 20-25 feet in front of us, where they pivot left/right and pose for a few seconds before turning around and heading back from which they came...

You can walk around, I guess, but the area was packed with standing room only... And if you leave your post, it's unlikely that you can get back to it... Another photog will snag it immediately, I guarantee it... Anyhoo... Thanks for asking... I hope that answered your question... I'll be posting more captures each day...

Tim, that screams Easter! Really nice.

Thanks for the explanation, Butchie...much appreciated!

I'm surprised they've even survived, what with all the ice, snow, wind and rain of late

You have not had the best weather have you? We had a lovely almost sunny day today, the snowdrops and crocus are lucky so far
