Thx Orio

I can't help but want to post in here after looking over everyone's subsequent special others I feel I need to add this context to this oneline persona just to be fair.

Clicky

This was more an experiment in flash. I used an Industar 50 on my Pentax K10 with a said flash pointing to the left across the image. I was trying to set it as to bounce of the wall some 4, 5m approx from her face, to light up said face. She was busy in her morning ritual of reading everything on facebook (laptop is just off scene down from eyes haha) to care so much that I was bouncing light across her head

I believe f was set to somewhere between 3.5 and 4..

VIVE la Industar 50

Yes, he is Amish. Henry Yoder is his name. He, and his family were waiting for a bus in Nashville. They don't drive modern autos, only horse and carriage. Their homes do not use electricity. But there is a great deal of variance among the different groups of Amish, as far as, clothing, etc. Generally, they do not wish to have their photos taken. It is considered rude to do so. But I introduced myself and showed him the shots, and explained that I wanted to share them. He was fine with these two, but there were shots of his little girl and wife which he asked not to post. You'll have to take my word that the little girl was precious.

My lovely wife Jolanta.
I think this photo captures her personality.
She doesnt like the sharpness of this photo, its very honest, no makeup or anything. I snapped this as we were going to the local shop.
I used Nikon D3200 with a super Paragon 28mm f2.8. The exposure was guessed and there is no post processing at all apart from resizing it for this fantastic forum.

The lens was bought for £7.50 in OM mount, but I have converted it to fit my Nikons and was giving it a trial run.

The focus is just off the eyes I know, I find it difficult to manual focus with the clear screen on my digital camera. Anyone know of a source of microprism/split screen for the d40/d3100/d3200? I mean for cheap

Hi...first post...some really beautiful stuff on this site guys...so glad I've found it.

I have faffed about trying to get an image up...not sure if this is right...hopefully it needs to be cleared by a moderator and then it will work.

Anyhoo...taken on a nex5 with a rokkor pf58mm f1.4 wide open...not a well accepted lens by many, but I love the warmth and glassy look to it...

Bit soft...but then so is the rest of my life..!
