This past weekend i was out at Malibu, Corral canyon and el matadore beach..if you know your thing and are local to LA, then you have been there..
I was paid by a model to shoot for her site etc so I cannot post any samples..sorry.
I usually use a standard zoom lens something like 28-80 with my D2X but wanted to try using my long glass instead as I am rarely shooting in a location with room enough to bring out this glass.
I know both Rob at FTV and Dean use a long lens for most of their glamour shoots..I am sure there are other glamour shooters who prefer a long zoom..but if you look at traditional photographers such as carl wachter, he use a standard zoom as did Guccione..
One of my issues was camera shake..i used a fill flash on a radio switch so i could max shoot at 1/125 and with the lens fully zoomed, its a bit hard to handhold for a long time. I was conisdering upgrading to the Nikon 80-200 VR..Canon have a similar lens..
Do you use a long lens and if so, how do you use it ? love to hear about your experiences.
