I'll endorse Allen's comment, Uhooru. JDW that has that strange swirling bokeh. What was the lens? Is it a summar copy? Good shot - it does 'glow'. But billblackwellphotography, by God, do you take the cake, or what: that third shot is sparkling. So good. Bravo. I've been precluded from photo'ing this week, so some from the last two weeks (though hope to do some photography tonite): all with my 'debt' (though it's reducing) monochrom m. The first from our church's 'investiture' of a new pasta last weekend (with a newly acquired voigtlander - aka cosina - color-skopar 25mm). The other two, I hope that I haven't already posted them (if so, my apologies), from our makebelieve 'Scootish' festival almost a month ago now, with a voigtlander 75mm. The last shows the intolerance of the monochrom to 'out of the range' highlights. Regards, keep those images comingthree.thumb.jpg.3dc06efe87375a3daa156f73dcce53ec.jpg

That's good Stric. Well done. Velvia is such a great film - dense and rich colour. Did you have a filter on the lens? If so, what? What was the lighting? But bravo - it pushes all the right buttons. In a contest with billblackwellphotography's third shot, you'd come very close. Regards, Arthur (apiarist1)

Arthur, there was a UV filter, but it's always on my Summilux lens. It was an overcast day, the shot was done indoors, I think at 1/15 or 1/30 of a second, hand held. Velvia is very tricky if it's incorrectly exposed. I think this image was underexposed in the end but it has a sentimental value for me and I decided to keep it.

Stric, thanks for that info. I was alluding to the white balance. It's got a blue cast. But whatever, it is a great shot. I can understand your attachment to it. Rarely does anyone see such intimacy, personal, caught on film. When I do, I just enjoy it. Done well, really well. Thanks for sharing. You are to be envied and congratulated.
