GH2 for Stills

[wheatgrinder]

Iv been having luck with using my GH2 for stills.

Here is a DIY senior pic for my daughter Sicily.

GH2, canon FD 50mm f1.4

Just learned a bit experimenting and reading about headshots.


Dramatically better shot with the camera high and looking down to the face. Really brings the eyes up in size.

Oh didn't they tell you? GH2 is a terrible still cam.
Looks good!
And yeah, I don't like looking up nostrils.

I loathe up-nostril shots.


Nice image, Wheat.

Looks good, I especially like the lighting.

Only thing is, that shooting from above thing is really tiresome to me. I see it and I go 'Oy, another myspace photo.' Yeah, it makes everyone look good. But it's way overused, imho.
