My beautiful muse. (Who says you have to have to shoot with a bulky

DSLR? This was taken with my little Canon S100 that fits comfortably in

my pocket. And, it affords me all the manual control that my big DSLR

did!) I think right now, my dream camera (other than an M9) would have to

be the new Sony RX1R compact with the full-size sensor and the Zeiss f2.

It does pack a full-size price though!

Excellent, love the cinematographic style ..  série noire 

Interesting arrangement of the opposing lines. I feel the tones are a little dark.

The darkness does give this an air of mystery. I like this a lot. As for the camera, all you need is a box with a hole in it.

Thank you John, Mark and David.  On subsequent copies of this image, I did dodge her hand a bit, as I agree, it is too dark.  The torso did seem best at about this brightness and tone.  And yes David, you're right!

Wonderful, Michael!!

Thanks so much Alberto!

Quite Lovely Michael! Flannel to mark the season too...

My current fave camera out of the studio in an Olympus E-pl5 micro 4/3 which when fitted with an adapter, mounts all my old Nikkor manual lenses. BIG lens to sensor ratio gives little or no fall off in the corners at any aperture.  I don't feel the need of a body guard either when I'm out and about and my 'kit' weighs in at about 1/3 of what my 'big' camera does.
