What makes a good portrait?
What makes a good portrait lens? The first thing to consider is focal length. If you're using a full-frame DSLR like a Canon EOS 6D or Nikon D750, an 85mm is perfect for portraiture as it enables half-length portraits to be taken from a comfortable distance of around 3m, so you can direct your subject without crowding in and making them feel awkward. Use an 85mm lens on an APS-C camera like a Canon EOS 750D or Nikon D3300, and you'll be able to take head-and-shoulders portraits from about the same distance. One particular advantage of using an 85mm lens for portraiture is that the short telephoto focal length has the effect of slightly compressing any prominent facial features (think noses and chins) for a bit of added flattery. Generally, prime lenses offer superior image quality to zoom lenses. Their killer feature, however, is a wide maximum aperture that's usually between f/1.4 and f/1.8. This enables a tight depth of field, so you can blur fussy backgrounds and make the person you're shooting really stand out in an image.

There are some interesting points in time in this article but I don't know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some validity but I will take hold opinion until I look into it further. Good article, thanks and we want more! Added to Feed Burner as well

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I'd prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don't mind. Naturally I'll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
