Simple Portrait Set-up: However, although a long focal length lens is mandatory, it need not be expensive. The utmost of critical sharpness in a portrait lens is not necessary, or even desired, since considerable diffusion can be tolerated in portrait negatives. Your lens needn't be in a shutter for strictly studio portraits, either. A lens in barrel is perfectly satisfactory, since you can provide yourself with a simple Packard shutter to use behind the lens. Many portrait men actually prefer the Packard to the more costly between-the-lens shutters.Portrait photographs, travel views in photography, and others of this class may be framed in simple mouldings with or without mats; however, it is inadvisable to hang them on the wall. Frames for portrait photographs should have adjustable stands for Table use. With less body than oil paintings, water colors should be framed more simply; their frames should be of the simplest type, usually of natural wood, with little or no ornament; if the picture is small, a mat is usually advisable. For pencil sketches, equally simple frames are advisable. If the drawing has a considerable expanse of paper left blank around it, no mat is necessary.
One good way to get the maximum coverage, which is what you are seeking, is to arrange a simple portrait set-up right at the club's meeting place and shoot the portraits during or after a meeting, assembly-line style. This method, besides including nearly everybody, will take a minimum amount of your time. |
