george by *osquibb I love honest, unabashed portraits such as this one. Unposed portraits of loved ones in personal moments are the ones that often ring the truest. (Featured by `rhapsouldize)

thanks so much (:

yea i'm attaching it to an 80mm. there are plenty of other extension tubes available but i've found the 16mm is really nice for most portraiture.

you know i can't quite remember, i did shot pretty wide open though so either 2.8 or 3.2. and with this shot, i'd say i was almost as close as possible with the 16mm et
