Hi Verena,
mit Reiseführer lesen kenne ich mich jetzt aus ;-) schönes portrait und interessanter aufnahmewinkel. ich finde den DOF hier nicht verkehrt, wundere mich aber nur wegen der etwas düsteren gesichtsfarbe. weiß nicht, ob da ein kleiner aufhellblitz hilfreich gewesen wäre... nur ne idee. feine umsetzung =) LG, Thilo

Hi Ian,
my FD lenses e.g. 50mm 1.4 is for a Canon AE1, so really old and they fit only through an adapter and my (from ebay) looked very handmade, so the adadpter is the problem, not the lens (works perfect). But with some minutes free time I will do more testings.
Cheers, Verena

Good point about the ability of your subject to sit through a fussy shot. I am discouraged your f.d.s need more light, what's that about, I wonder... Since I'm mostly fussing I imagine the stopped down metering will be o.k. for my aged 1.4 super takumar adapted to a canon s.l.r. I know it will fit... but a some how weakened metering system sounds like a real drag.

Ian, unfortunately it is the max, I bought a adapter for my FD lenses, but the first tests were horrible, you need maximum of light to get it working at all
and this was s surprise shot on a very good friend, perhaps the light would work for the adapter, but she wouldn't be relaxed enough after long handling time ;)
Cheers, Verena

Gorgeous Verena, the light and the object of your meditaion (the book/yourself). You're not pushing for more bokeh with that aperture are you? That's not the max max for the 135 is it? If it is, have ya thought of sticking something old with a huge aperture of it I'm looking forward to chucking an m42 onto a digital s.l.r..

I like the intense look of the girl (even though she's wearing sunglasses), but you feel herr look.The refelctions is simply great in its perfection. See you!

Ok, I'll elaborate a bit more. The portrait is definately good, but I always find a perfect profile difficult. Only a slight change can ruin the coherence within the shot, I think. In this case it works very well, but opting for a 2/3 or 1/3 profile is much safer. More room to play with...;o)
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Hugo,
being far away of doing spectacular portraits, but if you don't find anything to criticize, it cannot be a bad one ;))
Hugs, Verena

Hi Verena, the DOF looks fine to me. If it's too shallow, it's only a wee bit. With such a close up, the DOF should be shallow, IMO. It creates a stronger focus on the profile... Good shot, the addition of the reflection increases the impact. Maybe not spectacular, but a good one.
Cheers,
Hugo
