Christmas portraits

Each year I take a new photo of the grandkids for the Christmas card that is sent out to family and friends. Granddaughter on the left is my oldest grandchild, she turned 14 this year.

Another of your gorgeous portraits - what lens do you use, as these shots are magnificent.

[Sheralee S]

@dide Oh thank you Dianne, I use a 24-70mm f/2.8 and really try to use the 70mm end but sometimes it's not possible.

[Kane Arlow]

Another gorgeous portrait. That sounds like a great lens too.

[Sheralee S]

@karlow75 It is a fantastic lens... cost far more than my camera :-/

Beautiful portrait Sheralee :)

[gayelene]

Beautiful portrait of beautiful children :)

[Peter Grave]

Lovely portrait Sheralee, the Sigma 105mm macro takes a great portrait photo,but i have to be a long way from the subjects.

[Sheralee S]

@peterlgrave Yes, I love my 100mm macro for portraits too Peter but find the same thing, I'm often too close to use it.

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely group portraits.

[Kane Arlow]

@bella_ss I know that they can be super expensive. I have been researching which lens to get next. This was one of my choices.

[Sheralee S]

@karlow75 It's a great all-rounder Kane, if I could only have one lens this would be it.

[Kane Arlow]

@bella_ss yes, this is one of the serious contenders. That and the 105mm mentioned by @peterlgrave Peter. Ah, decisions.

[Sheralee S]

@karlow75 I also love my 100mm macro, that would be my second lens if I could only have two :)

[Danny G.]
