Dear reader, if this entry or my other blog entries don't answer your specific photography questions, you can call me on the phone anytime for advice by clicking here.The past six years or so I have been blessed to spend time with Eastern European Romani people (or Gypsies, as they are popularly known as). I am not sure why I am drawn to them, I seem to find a certain measure of self worth in giving of my time to the Romani families that I meet on my journeys. This blog entry is two-fold; the first is obvious, that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and the second is that the larger the camera sensor, the greater amount of depth-of-field options you have.
If you are primarily a photographer who loves people, you may be best served with a full sensor camera. While these are usually the most expensive types, prices are dropping each year. The Canon 5D MkII has been a popular choice for many diverse photographers due to its great image quality, full frame sensor, incredible video, and light weight. At the time of writing this blog the price for the 5D MkII is about $2,300.
This is one of my favorite shots of my new Romani buddy who I met in Transylvania last summer. I was struck by the indescribable quality of his eyes . . . somewhat haunting! As you will see, the depth of field is so narrow that only his eyes are in focus. This is one of the advantages of a full frame sensor camera. Feel free to leave a comment below, I am always appreciative of extra input for my readers!
