Some say that long focal lenses make portrait photos get flatout. That's not right. It depends on the light sources in use. Straight and directed front light make portrait photo flat. But backlight and directional light sources don't.</blockquote>

[QUOTE="AperturePriority, post: 53344, member: 9275"] I used to have Nikkor 85mm 1.4 Ai-S. It was a great lens for studio portrait photos because of constrains in the studio sizes. But for the outdoor portrait photos I like longer lenses better. 300mm lenses not only for the close-up portraits, they can be good for one-third or half body portraits as well: [CENTER][IMG]http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/697/dsc5318d.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/9369/dsc7191.jpg[/IMG] [/CENTER] Some say that long focal lenses make portrait photos get flatout.
