Portrait of Mike Johnston

We post a lot of landscapes here, but the S is so great for portraits.
While i was shooting the abandoned Pabst brewery, as shown in the previous post, I discovered some great window light for a portrait. My fellow shooter was willing to be my model. He liked the shot of himself enough to post it on his own TOP website blog.

I actually cropped this portrait down from the full frame, as can be seen the the Lightroom screen shot. One more plus of having plenty of resolution in the S

This was with the 120mm. 1/15 sec at F8. I was shooting landscapes that don’t move, but should have switched to say 1/125 at f2.5 and I would have had DOF I would have liked more, and reduced the chance for subject movement. Hey, I could have moved the camera on the tripod closer and I wouldn’t have had to crop, but this was just a quick interruption in landscape/architectural shooting. And the subject liked the result, so it worked.
