Beyond Portraiture

What Hacker News says

   "Beyond Portraiture" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NNUYEW) is a good book that explains the specific process of getting strangers to agree to have their picture taken.

   I have tried the techniques in the book successfully but never went the full length of getting anyone to sign a release form. Did you?

   The pictures from this project on your blog are great! What software did you use for the gallery? It works nicely (although it's a little slow?)

   I agree with dimarco. Start with the 50mm f/1.8 fixed lens. It's good quality for the price. The real professional lenses cost between 900 and 1600 dollars. Fixed ones are cheaper. Zoom are more expensive.

   Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens $99.95 -- if you buy this, you MUST buy the UV filter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007E7JU?ie=UTF8&tag=...

   UV filter (protects lens' glass): Tiffen 52mm UV filter $9.95 -- goes with the Canon EF 50mm lens (trust me; this is the correct size filter) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004ZCJG?ie=UTF8&tag=...

   Tutorial Book: Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera $17.13 -- Bryan Peterson, the author, is a god of photography teaching http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0817463003?ie=UTF8&tag=...
