This is from 2007, the first roll of b&w through the Bessa I Vaskar. Nothing that great, except: shows one doesn't require a focus aid nor built in meter etc to get a decent looking photograph. Probably Neopan 400, and I did meter the room ambient light first. 6x4.5 mask,

Hrmmm . . . it seems to me a focusing aid would have helped -- unless your subject was that guy's hat. _________________ Michael

I love this shot. I'm moved by the figures present here and the light.
The glasses on the table and blushing body language give a sense of pause in the conversation.
The photo looks like an uncomfortable silence to me. I love it _________________ Moderator |

I think that's the point. Otherwise it would just be a candid instead of something artistic. _________________ Casual attendance these days |

I'm with the group that loves this shot. Agree about the lighting (was this
shot at f5.6?) and the focus on the back of the French couch and the guy's
hat (almost censorious to me, as I was brought up in a household where
it is rude to wear a hat inside, perhaps he was treated for ringworm, lol).
Love the body language as mentioned, lady on the left is definitely masking
with her hand, she's aware of you and your daughter(?) on the right seems
uncaring (this is what dad does).
I noticed the shot was not level and immediately discarded it as unimportant, even adds to the artistic value, superb, Jussi! |

Thanks - yes I'd focused on the couch/brother in law, and Bill,
I do believe you're right about the aperture (and leveling)...
The lady on the left is our eldest daughter who does get miffed
if we're taking too many photos, and the one on the right is our
youngest who's the real photographer in the family (soon to be
in an art museum show)... And yes, about the hat indoors - my
upbringing had the indoors hat be on a discretionary basis, but
you ALWAYS took it off when sitting down at a table or to eat,
or indeed if socializing with the ladies. _________________ -Jussi

Can you get permission to post some of her work that's going in the
museum? (Or have you already and I missed it.) |
