Since portraits are quite a weak point for me, I took tons and tons to try to discover what are the best settings, angles, lighting, and focal lengths for a portrait. This was nice because I had willing... victims, shall we say. So, I took a barrage of pictures, trying to note what worked best for them and what worked best for any style that I may hope to develop. I have made at least one discovery... I really do not like taking pictures of people super close up (zoom or physically). It feels tremendously awkward to me as does the photo (but this really is just me, I suppose).
