Now this shot might not be everyone's cup of tea as it was only a test shot but it's still one of my favourites - it's one of a series I shot earlier in the year with Millie who's popped over one afternoon to help with some Boudoir test poses I had in mind and wanted to try out.
Shot in natural light with only a 1 metre silver refector ( camera right) to provide a little fill. Exposure could have been better and so too could the set but, we were in a hurry to catch the falling light.
I love working with manual lenses and this one is no exception.

I do like it very much.
Nice atmosphere. I agree with Attila on the Sepia choice.
Her attitude is very natural which brings a lot to the picture.

Congrats. Smile

Very fine portrait. The nikkor is one of their best.

Thanks Attila, Oliver & Patrick - the shot was one of a series of pose tests which I now include in my stock poses which I shoot on film.

I love working with the older Nikon manual lenses and although I haven't as big a collection as I'd like, the ones I do own actually do get used regularly, often on a daily basis and I find they deliver just what it says on the tin!

It's curious, but when I shoot 'AF' I always seem to be checking to see if the image is sharply in focus yet, when I shoot my manual-only lenses, I'm not nearly so keen - I suppose I trust my own eyes more and even when using the AF versions or other AF lenses, I invariably switch them to manual where possible.

I don't know whether others find the same or whether it's because I primarily shoot medium format Bronicas where everything is manual and digital is mostly confined to being used conveniently as a 'polaroid substitute' for my neg film work. Shooting manually always makes me think more.

Beautiful shot...certainly not what I was expecting from the title, but beautiful nonetheless.

That is extremely good use of natural light. Well done.
