Default Candid Couple
I met up with a local camera club tonight to shoot the Xmas lights in downtown. I caught this couple at a ice skating rink they had setup up outdoors. Shot this handheld AV mode 1/80, f/1.8 iso 2000 using my 5DMKII and 85mm f/1.2L. It is very low light situation and they were back lit as you can tell by thier shadows. Its not quite as sharp as I would like but I was having problems focusing fast enough which is a known issue with this lens. But overall I am pleased with the outcome, feel free to comment and critique it. Thanks

Cute! It may not be as sharp as you would have hoped but I think it is perfect for this shot!

Excellent capture of the couple holding hands and skating. I like the lighting as well as the emotion captured here.
