A portrait of Nila

Hello everyone,

Hope you are well.

I wanted to share an photo I took of Nila. The sun was setting and the light was different, I grabbed some nice images of her. Here is one:

Taken using Pentax K-3 + Pentax 50-135mm F/2.8 lens. I am normally used to Nikon, but it was quite fun shooting with a Pentax. K-3 and the lens is a nice combo for portraits.

Enjoy and I'd appreciate some feedback

Have a great day!

Manzur, some really nice portraits. That looks like a super lens for such photography. I prefer the slightly softer focus on the close-up shots(I don't like them to be so sharp that you see pores not a pleasant smooth skin).

Good job, Tom W(ret)

Thank you very much Tom, I am glad you liked them.

You're the fellow who captures such startling eyes!

On this one however you are a bit front focused.

VEry nice set of pictures.

I think you would get great results whatever the equipment is in your hand.

Quite a diversity of models too... Guess you live in a multicultural city?

So what's you ususal photo equipment ? ( assuming you used the K3 for testing purposes only ? )

Cheers

Stunning! Nice light and lenses. I really like #28 and #33.

Thank you Chris :), much appreciated. I always do want to get the eyes sharp, that is where the main story is.

This one I missed a bit, true. This was taken on the first day of using K-3 and it took me a while to grasp the focus mechanism.

Thank you very much Younes, much appreciated. I live in UK, so yes, quite a diversity here

My usual gears are Nikon D810, and I mostly use three lenses: Nikon 105mm F/1.4E, Nikon 200mm F/2G VRII and the Tamron 90mm F/2.8 Macro VC.

K-3 I tried out and now I really want to try out the K-1

Thank you. I shoot using natural light only. Lenses do help
