(1)  5D w/35mm f1.4L, ISO 400, f1.8, 1/3200, TRA2 "Grandma's Tap Shoes" @ 50%. For this shot I had Norbert just hold Jenny from behind and waited for the smiles happen naturally. The ultra shallow depth of field is a stylistic choice that draws you to your subject's eyes.

(2)  5D, 70-200mm f2.8L IS, ISO 400, f4.5, 1/1250, TRA2 "Bullet Tooth" @ 50%. My favorite and easiest pose: I instructed Jenny and Norbert to take a stroll, hold each other and ignore the camera.

(3) 5D, 70-200mm, ISO 400, f4.0, 1/640, TRA2 "Pool Party" @ 60%. I like poses like this and have done them for as long as I can remember. The downside is that I'm beginning to see this same pose done by almost every other photographer these days.

(4)  5D, 70-200mm, ISO 400, f5.6, 1/400, Kubota "X-Process Combo" @ 40%.  X-Process Combo is probably my favorite action for color images. It really makes blues pop and ads color and intensity to nearly any image.

(5)  5D, 70-200mm, ISO 400, f4.0, 1/1000, TRA2 "Brooklyn" @ 100%. It's hard to tell here but for this one I had Jenny and Norbert run through this field. As I said in my "Posing 101" post, if your couples don't smile when running, they're zombies. "Brooklyn", by the way, is my favorite b&w action.

(6)  5D, 35mm f1.4L, ISO 400, f1.8, 1/6400, no actions - temperature was lowered in LR. You might be wondering why I didn't adjust my ISO lower on some of these images - why I kept it at 400 when this image, for example, could have easily been shot at ISO 100 due to my wide-open aperture. I could have switched it lower, but I didn't see any reason to. ISO 400 on my 5D is essentially noiseless, so rather than switching my ISO to keep it as low as possible for every shot, I simply left it at 400, which is my normal default ISO for cloudy days. That gave me one less thing to think about so all my concentration was on getting the shot I wanted, not fiddling with my camera.

(7)  5D, 70-200mm, ISO 400, f5.6, 1/1000, Kubota "X-Process Combo" @ 40%. The expression on Jenny's face makes this shot.

(8)  5D, 35mm f1.4L, ISO 400, f4.5, 1/1250, TRA2 "Brooklyn" @ 100%. This one is kind of the opposite of #1 - groom in front, bride in back. What you don't see is that in order to make the image work I had to ask the groom to squat down a bit. f4.5 is normally a small enough aperture on a wide angle lens to get two heads in focus, even if they're not in the same plane.

(9)  5D, 70-200mm, ISO 400, f4.0, 1/500, TRA2 "Lux Soft" @ 60%. Placing your subjects in tall grass is always a winner.
