More portraiture practice, today for the first time with Paul Barr behind\nthe camera. I did<\/span> some very impromptu portraiture practice\nwith Paul<\/a> the other day, but today he tried it with me.<\/p>\n\n

When Paul stopped by, I happened to be wearing a long<\/span>-sleeve Uniqlo<\/a> shirt that I'd\npicked up yesterday so that I had<\/span> something longsleeve that actually fit. It's cold outside<\/span> in Kyoto these days, but I didn't<\/span> want to wear my normal\nbright yellow winter coat, so grabbed a black<\/span> leather jacket, and when I\nrealized<\/span> just how pretentious the combination looked, also grabbed some\nreading glasses to complete the look.<\/p>\n\n

The photo above is the first one Paul took. Seems okay to me.<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>\nNikon D4 + Nikkor 70-200mm f\/2.8 @ 200mm — 1<\/sup>\/<\/big>640 sec, f<\/span>\/5, ISO 12800 —\nmap & image data<\/a> — nearby photos<\/a><\/span>\nphoto by Paul Barr<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n

This being Paul's first try, he was even more fish-out-of-water\nwith portraiture than I am,<\/span> so even the short practice was helpful. At one point<\/span> he even got so bold as to direct me\n(“look over there”), which, of course, is what a portraiture<\/span> photographer should be doing. I like<\/span> the result:<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a>\nNikon D4 + Nikkor 70-200mm f\/2.8 @ 160mm — 1<\/sup>\/<\/big>500 sec, f<\/span>\/5.6, ISO 12800 —\nmap & image data<\/a> — nearby photos<\/a><\/span>\nPensive or Pretentious?<\/span>\nphoto by Paul Barr<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

While looking at the results, I kept<\/span> hearing St\u00e9phane Barbery (from my\nfirst<\/a> two<\/a> portraiture practice\nsessions) saying “get closer”, so here's a crop<\/span> of Paul's first shot of the day that might be a step<\/span> in that direction:<\/p>\n\n
