Well the last boat off the island was at 4:30pm, so yes I had to make do with whatever light I had, despite that I think the end result very pleasing.

This one more to your liking?  You know not every portrait has to have a full encompassing DOF right? and as for lighting a middle aged woman I very well know that it's preferable to use soft wrap around lighting, which I already used on other photos I've taken of her, for this one I tried something bold and in my opinion I think I've managed to pull it off. Next time I'll shoot with a real large aperature instead of doing it PS.

Thanks, just a casual shot I took at work, I was also testing this old Yashica twin lens which I acquired a few months ago.

Thanks Ed, Jack and Tony. Jack I thought the same thing about a large format print, I will be printing this one on a 13X19 but a wall size would really look awesome.

I've never seen a 70mm film reel before,  it's huge!  if only all movies where shot on that format, like Baraka and Samsara.

This is a neighborhood cat that I've befriended 2 years ago and he's been

visiting me almost everyday since then, and I've never even given him one

bite to eat so I know he's not coming for the food, I guess he just likes my

company.

I rarely ever shoot in a studio and this is my first high key portrait, opinions

and comments are welcome.

I would be there if I could my friend!

Pose is very lovely, there's a classic feel to this image that I like. It would be worth a try if you could maybe clone out the secondary catchlight on the lower half of the pupils, other than that this image is pretty much perfect to me.
