Looks like a fun session, cropping is a bit tight on both.
Yeah, that's the thing I don't like about these photos. I used my 90mm, and there's not really enough room for it in my studio
I have always liked my 90mm lens for portraits but, as you mentioned, there is often not enough space to use the 90mm focal length. That is why I use my 70-200mm f/4L IS lens as my main portrait glass. It is suprising how much of a difference there is between 70mm and 90mm when shooting in tight quarters...
Kristian and Richard, are you using a 90mm lens of a camera with a full frame sensor or one with a smaller sensor? On my film camera I used to use 100mm but on my Canon 60D, I tend to use my 50mm although I have a zoom I suppose I could use.
Bruce, I did this with a crop sensor. An old Pentax K20D actually.
What surprises me is that the EXIF mentions a 35mm equivalent focal of 72 mm...
Maybe I'm thinking wrong? I did both the 90mm, and the 18-55mm in this shoot. I just assumed that since they are cropped tight they were from the 90mm
Remco, how did you find the EXIF data? I vaguely recall that it's possible to get that info from at least some uploaded photos but I don't remember how.
I use FireFox, and there's an add-on that can show the EXIF from any posted image (provided the data is still there, ofc., a lot of programs seem to strip off the data):
A link to the homepage with a description, and installation through the firefox tools -> add-ons menu.
On a side note, there's also a histogram viewer add-on available (not the same author/homepage)

Re EXIF: there is also a free add-on for Chrome. "EXIF Viewer" shows both the EXIF and the histogram(s)
Remco, I switched from IE to Firefox a few weeks ago so downloaded the EXIF add-on. It works! Thanks for the info.
