You better start saving for a EOS 1D Mark IV!! It proves that it's never to early to start 'em up.:smile:
Yeah, he's young yet.... Later when he learns about Leica, I'll steer him to the M9... No thanks needed...Lol
Your Treating ? I'll give him the M5 in that case I'll spring for the 35/2.8 Biogon, so he has a lens Thank You-Thank You-Thank You-Thank You-
good subject... the images would be much better in black & white and a shallow depth of field to isolate the subject. Ultimately, you'd want to eliminate the flash and go with nice soft light, coming through a window, for example. But I realize you didn't have that option here. In the final shot, I would probably crop in a little tighter on the 'face' and try to implement the rule of thirds (but that's my personal preference in most cases). I also think shots like that are best when you can get a little of the person's expression included, or eye contact. That's why I strongly prefer your first shot. Great expression!
Leicas, Canons and lenses oh my!....my first camera was a brownie bullet ( still have it )...cute kid though....
Maybe. I usually go past the ideal, and back off the sharpening a few times as I adjust the radius and threshold,
