Technical Data

Canon AE-1 SLR w/ 28mm
Ilford 400 HP5. Developed at 1:2 in X-Tol developer.
Ilford Variable Contrast Glossy 5x7. Dim indoor lighting with
some natural light coming through the window to help.
f2.8 @ 1/30s

Exposure Data

I know a wide angle lens isn't typically a portrait lens, but it works
so well with this little guy. I was taking pictures of him with my 50mm
and figured the angle would work well here, and i think it did.
The sharpness of this lens is amazing, as is with my 50mm too.
Primes are so pretty, but then again having a zoom is always nice too.

Critique

Just any tips on portraits would be great. I love photographing kids.
They have so much wonder in their eyes and can be so mature at times
that it's almost scary. Plus, everyone wants to freeze them at that age.
Any comments on this photo are open and welcome from exposure to printing,
but i guess i'd like some advice about getting out there and in peoples faces
with the camera. It's the part of my photography that i lack the skill for
and would like to give this a bit of attention and focus so i can build on it.

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

I think this photo is perfect. The way his eyes and face pop out at you, and that the focusing point is on the face. The expression, everything, truly a brilliant capture!
