This weekend I'm going to try and get a photo of a well-known someone at
an event, but I have a specific shot in mind.
The person wears a very special ring, and I want the portrait to make
the ring the main subject. I'm thinking of having him seated, elbows on
a table, forearms up and hands crossed over each other, with the ring
finger on top. However, I still want his face in the photo, but the
point of focus is the hands/ring, with the face somewhat out of focus,
just enough to tell who he is and to add some context to the ring.
I'm thinking I need a wide aperture to get the necessary DoF control,
which leaves me with the Panny 20/1.7 or toughing it out old-school with
the OM 50/1.2 on the adapter.
I am going to try and experiment tomorrow if I have time, but meanwhile
I look towards the collective wisdom.
Oh - this shot may or may not be with flash - depending on what room I
get to use. If flash, will probably be the FL-600r with the Fong salad
bowl on a bracket, set for fill.
