That's an awesome shot Sasha S.
I like the crispiness and contrast.

I agree!! I really like the "monochromatic-ness" of it!

Whoah, I like that shallow DoF Jim!
Did you use a negative/transparency scanner? (Looks too good to be a flatbed.)

Thanks! Nothing like a long f2.8 lens shot wide open to blow out a background!
Not sure on the scanner. I used to take batches of slides to "The New Lab" in S.F. and they would scan 36 slides and burn a CD for $10.00.

Cool, how'd you light her face?
There's the obvious overhead light but the brim should be casting a shadow.
K64 or 25?

I still have my manual focus 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor!

I guess I can join in on this thread. Here is a picture I took a couple of years ago.


*Edit: I just reread the first post that said these should be recent photos. Whoops.

Guess I'm guilty,too. 1974 isn't so recent...
