Yah, the first one is acctually too sharp, i wanted all three monkeys to be a bit blurry. The sharpness I wanted on them was like #2. But it was harder then I thought to get a proper oof. Wink

Thanks for comments.

Well acctually, all postproduction on these images is done in Adobe Camera Raw only. Never bothered to open them in Photoshop. I just turned down saturation, upped the contrast and cropped them. I did do some burning and dodging too on the colour one (also in Camera Raw). But nothing much. So basically, the simplest of all ways, just desaturated.

My hat off to you, your subject, and the mighty fine Takumar! Very Happy

lovely photos of your very lovely daughter Zewrak!

when I found a preset Takumar 105/2.8 for little money in New Delhi recently I could not resist, even though I already own the Super Tak and S-M-C Tak 105/2.8

A bit crazy? But since I have it out to f the 3 I have only used the preset. I find it easier to use than the others because of being a preset and it's focus ring runs easier.

I had tried to find photo of the same lens on the net but without success, had found some of a preset Tak 105/2.8 with some silver parts, but mine is all black, looks like this:



same as your?

best greetings,
Andreas

They are all very nice photos. I like the sepia one best - not because of the hue, but because of the expression of the girl; the suppressed mirth.

Amazing what these old lenses can do in the hands of an accomplished photographer.

Acctually, it is not toned at all. Just decreased saturation and raised contrast. Smile
