Time for different focal lengths?

[David Hughes]

Hi,

Nothing wrong with your photo's or the lens. 35mm gives background and shows things in context but doesn't distract with too much on show.

Why not think about an 85 or 90mm to pick out detail? Can't think of any other move and stepping back with a portrait lens often means you can see more and concentrate on it.

Nothing truer than the taker being the harshest critic...

Regards, David

Nothing wrong with your photos .. Of the ones posted in this thread, the first two are radically different from the others. But all are good.

You want to try a different FL? Just do it, and see where it leads you. Don't expect revelation, just see what it can see and use it. I'm finding myself working unusual pairings now and then, like 35+180 and 18+50. It's all good.

This is how I am nowadays. I have developed a fondness for the wide stuff which I didn't have before. So I do stuff like a 28 and 85 or 28 and 135. My next lens purchase will be a 20.
