Available-light portraits from a party
Dec. 27th, 2006 11:11 pmI've uploaded some pics from James and Avalon's party..
I think I said I wasn't planning on uploading them, but actually some turned out quite well.

These were all taken using a recently-acquired late-1970s Nikkor 85mm f/2.0 lens. I like my old manual focus lenses, and old primes are often fast enough to use without flash, such as is the case with these. It's a tiny bit soft wide open, but for portraits that's often a nice effect. (f/2.8 and up is quite reasonable-to-sharp.)
Apologies if anyone doesn't want their picture up there - just yell and I'll take it down!
