The next set we try was interesting. Willy raised a curtain like layer of cloth, then put the big soft light box behind to create the effect of sun light coming in from the window. It was very unique and good.

The props was added trying to make the scene more comfy and home like.

From certain angle Boo's face could looked too long. But in this first pic, with the hair next to the face, her long face looked good IMHO.

The last set. The idea was to create a feeling of relax & comfy, maybe a bit of sexy.

The above pictures were taken with my primary camera, Sony A900, with a Zeiss 85mm/F1.4 fixed focal length lens. When taking the pictures, it was very inconvenient because of the narrow angle of the lens. To take shots covering head to toes, I had to move far back against the opposite wall from the model.

However, the effect from this superb lens was very satisfying. Let's just say it was well worth the leg work.

In the next post, I will post a 1:1 crop to show the resolution of this lens.

Today I also had with me a backup camera. I took with me my kid's smaller Sony A550 with a good Zeiss 16-80 zoom lens. I took this with me because of my nice zoom lens is in the repair shop. While the result from this lens is good on it's own, it just can't compare to the 85mm I will post the other pictures in the following posts.

This photo is purely to show the superb resolving power of the lens. The second picture is a 1:1 crop from the first picture.

I purpose over exposed this picture a bit to get more details of the eyes. I can see myself in her eyes!

Composition wise, this picture is not too good, because it showed Boo's face too long.

The pictures in the next few posts were taken with the smaller camera with a zoom lens. Again, the quality was good, but as stunning as the one above.

But then, probably most people won't notice the difference anyway....
