I did a lot of portrait work this weekend and I learned a lot from it (photographers are constantly leaning.) Many of the portraits that I took in the past were with a 50mm lens and I felt that it was the perfect lens for the job. Everything I had read told me that a zoom lens of 70 to 200mm should be used instead of a 50mm, and this weekend I found out exactly why. One of the portraits I attempted was with a woman with a more prominent nose and it made her face look out of proportion. Switching to the zoom lens fixed the elongation and made a big difference in the nose and facial features. The portrait above was taken with the zoom lens and I really liked the result.
