Hi folks!
My name is Jack.
I'm from Montreal, Canada. I do portrait headshots for casting agencies. 90% of the time my sessions are outdoor with natural light. if i don't have the light i want or in a rush, i use my octobox at low power to get what i need. Have a good weekend!
I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

I must admit I have been lax in both my shooting and posting recently, perhaps due to the fact my wife has now retired, and we are spending a LOT more time together doing various activities.

Hi Jack, thanks for sharing, love the 2nd photo! Day lighting is the best for portraits. Have you used 85mm lens?
Hi Aleksandr,
Thank you for kind words!
It was my Canon 70-200mm with a Canon 5D Mark ii, but i like using my 85mm. For that shoot i was in a rush because that agency had 80 kids to shoot one after another and i had 6 minutes per kid! I know it's pretty crazy! I do that agent's clients every year. Since i was in a rush i used my Canon 70-200mm to be able to zoom rapidly, so i could take different crops. I have a french tutorial on tuto.com called 6 Minute Portrait, taken from my 6 minute per kid experience. ;-)
80 kids...I bet you've lost a few kgs :). I know how hard is to make kid to trust and smile you... but for sure you love what you do. And, you are doing well!!
Thank you Aleksandr! :-) After 8 hours and 80 kids i'm drained and feel like the 70-200mm weight 50 pounds lol
Great, specially second one 👍👍 /// Moi Lee - www.instagram.com/moileee
