A couple of portraits

I have an acute shortage of female models. My wife runs screaming in the opposite direction whenever I ask for a volunteer to practice my photography. Maybe she is sick of posing after 1.7 million photos, squinting into the sun etc. I conned, sorry, coaxed my youngest daughter to pose for me this evening as I wanted to try out the 85mm with off camera flash. Here are a few results. (I have been waxing eloquent of late about the capabilities of the 85mm F1.8, but it is an outstanding portrait lens.)

Yes John, they start making faces immediately in my case. "Oh Dad, not again, haven't you taken enough photos in your life?"

Thankfully there is now a grandson to take up some slack in the modelling dept. :D
