More Portraits?

[monkeymon]

stehei, I really like that portrait. How did you get that silverish look to it?

Hi,

its a digital workflow, a combined selenium-toning added with curves. I just realised this is a dslr-image, which is 'forbidden' to post here, apologies. Taken with a 300mm.

here's one more,
same workflow, but very diffuse light in a greenhouse which reflected the light very evenly,

Apoligies! Then you post another one! Did i miss something?

(How is that for instigating a little conflict?)

You got that right!!!

Actually, I was hoping to get an answer from Dominico as I think he shoots some of the best portraits on this forum. Though I've shot all my large format portraits with mostly a 135 and recently the 210, I'd have no problem switching to a longer lens. I shoot most of my portraits with a 100mm for 35, mostly to get the ultra shallow depth, which I do the same with large format.

Jan,

sorry again,

480mm schneider isconar, front lens element,

sometimes the environment + clutter makes the shot
by defining who the person is, or wants to be ..

Well, you know I am no fan of digital and dslr shots, but hey, when it is good, it is good. I think this is an exceptional portrait.

Having said that, don't let it happen again..
