Nice pics, could you have a put a little more seperation between the subjects and the background?

Not this time. My space at the event was quite limited. My back was literally up against the wall behind me, and my background was set up at the other end of my space. I even had to drop down from my normal 85mm prime lens that I prefer for portraits, and shot all of them that day at between 47mm and 60mm with my 24-105mm.

This gives an idea of the space I had to work with:

The rest of the room that you can't see in this shot was filled with tables and chairs, a bandstand and a dance floor, all of which got used for those purposes.

Hey, we make do with what we can sometimes.
 
What kind of event and why do they need a photo booth?
 
What kind of event
It was a big, 70th birthday party bash.

and why do they need a photo booth?
It's not a question of need, but of want, just like the band they wanted and the helium balloons everywhere that they wanted, and the decorative stuff like flowers and interesting facts from 70 years ago they had on the tables that they wanted, and a lot of different kinds of food that they wanted, and name tags on the guest that they wanted, and a guest book at the door that they wanted, and, and, and... etc., etc., etc.

So, one of the things they wanted was for the occasion to be commemorated with portraits of the guests who attended.
 
I love the 'attitudes' of the men. It surprises me how much they appear to enjoy being in front of the camera...and comfortable too! It had to have been a good time for everyone, including the Photographer.:thumbup:
 
Nicely done Buckster. You brought out the character from these fellows.

I have a similar background (I think) collapsible with a train?
 
I like #3. He had a good pose and the stern serious look on his face really draws the attention upward.
