Hello!
I've been here a few months ago asking for a few tips. You guys were a big help, everything you told me helped me tremendously! So here I am again, asking for a advice. I've attached two pictures, two of my lates ones. (I played with them a little in Lightroom. :3, still learning the program and "know-hows". )
Recently I started feeling the limits of my lens. I'd like to create a good "bokeh" effect for model photograhpy, but it's quite hard to:
1. catch proper focus
2. good "bokeh"
I've made them without tripod and without flash, only used my Nikon D3200 (+ the 18-105 VR kit lens which came with it). The weather was rainy (so we had to hurry), settings were the following:
- ISO: 100
- FP: 18-60mm
- Aperture max: 3.8
- Center weighted metering
- Autofocus
The still don't feel "right". The bokeh is not good enough, the focus is not properly centered even though I made the settings manually. (moved the little box to the face) So I was thinking of buying a lens for model shooting which has a good "bokeh" effect.
Should I buy a lens? Or is it still my skill thats lacking? Any suggestions?
Thank you very much for all the help and answers in advance!
