Portraiting Guru Gopi Krishna

Taking portraits is not a simple task :) I was always mistook and
even misdriven by the "excellent" comment by my friends when they see
themselves or their buddies' faces captured well...but portraiting is
much more different an aspect when done with its full values..These
pics may not be excellent is some sense, but for some people these are
atleast good :)

The first two pics are close-ups which expresses simple emotions.The
third one passes on his adventerous trails and the fourth is my trial,
first one of its kind..

All pics taken with Nikon D60, 55-200mm VR lens

Hey Vivek, I love the train snap! Really nice! Great angle and great DOF. So the 55-200 is great for such shots also huh!

Yeah Nikky...I find 55-200VR good for portraits when the backlit condition is adequate.If excessive backlit remains the details will lost to some extend.DOF effects are working well.If possible try 70-300VR since I feel 200VR not enough for bird shots.

I'm planning on buying a DSLR. Most probably the 450D. But I don't think I'll be needing great zoom as I don't think I'll be shooting birds/animals. Street and people photography interest me more. So was thinking of the 17-85mm (or the 18-55 kit lens) and a 50mm f/1.8 for portraits and other close ups as I love to experiment with DOF. The only problem is that the 17085 is quite expensive. :D Trying to save up money somehow now!! :)
