6 going on 16

fotografr · 06/30/06, 09:00 PM

I posted this on the former Leica forum last night. Now, it's time to see if I can navigate the new one here. This is one of my nieces. M7, 50 asph @ f/1.4, Fuji Velvia 50.

Hey, now this Neuer Benutzer character is following me around. Who is this guy?

mgcd · 06/30/06, 09:15 PM

She's adorably cute and your framing is excellent.

This "Neuer Benutzer" is amuzingly annoying. Afterall this time to be referred to as "junior" again

lol

Thanks, Conrad. Good to see you in here. I think we should take this Neuer dude out in the alley. I think I came in with over 4,000 posts (not counting Yur's).

I am sure Yur can speak for himself

I would have had 6000 by now. I was going to sign off on my 6000th, but couldn't be bothered to post rubbish just to get there!

Don't worry about Herr Neuer. He will soon leave you, to be replaced by his cousin, Erfahrener

Lovely shot of your niece, though.

stunsworth · 06/30/06, 10:31 PM

Andy, I was tempted to say that posting rubbish didn't stop you from posting the previous 5500, but some might think I was being serious rather than making a wisecrack ;-)

Very nice shot Brent, excellent light and exposure.

As I typed that I knew that some smart alec would be along...

Where are the Paris details then?

fotografr · 07/01/06, 12:39 AM

Allright you guys--take it outside.

lambroving · 07/01/06, 04:52 AM

Brent,

I gather Andreas got back to you?

Cute shot, but what's this Velvia kick with skin tones???!!!

BTW, it ain't going to be easy learning all these new usernames...

At least I kept mine...

stunsworth · 07/01/06, 11:49 AM

William one of the things that suprised me was just how good the skin tones were for Velvia. I assume that Brent had to do a bit of work to get them like this - it isn't what I'd associate with Velvia at all.

fotografr · 07/01/06, 03:02 PM

William--First, thanks for the help with registration.

Actually, I had very little work to get good skin tones with the Velvia. In some situations it's not good--but with this kind of light is worked quite well. In fact, I also shot some Astia in the same light and the Velvia looked far better to me. The most trouble I've had with Velvia and skin tones comes when I use studio strobes with it.

pxlpal2 · 07/01/06, 07:55 PM

Brent,
Absolutely gorgeous shot and little girl. The selective focus really works nicely with her hair framing her face.
Best regards,

Frank M

Very enjoyable!

PS: I find it hilarious that the English language natives here make such an issue of something that is simply a text string that isn't translated. Be glad Leica is curtious and present us with a forum where most of the stuff is in English and we don't have to "schreib alles in Deutch". Allthough my high scool German could do with a little brushing up......

Yes I saw this beautiful girl in the former forum, very nice shot , colors and exposure.

Hi Yur,
Long time no see.

I really enjoy this image.
You captured that "much older & wiser for my age" expression.
The lighting is wonderful too, with just enough softness of light on her hair and shoulder.

fotografr · 07/03/06, 05:18 PM

Hey, Darlene! Great to hear from you after all these months. Does this mean you'll be posting some photos here? What have your squirrels been up to out there?

Brent

ron110n · 07/03/06, 11:23 PM

Very nice capture Neuer Benutzer!
Gee... you speak better english than I do. =)

Nice catch Brent!

fotografr · 07/04/06, 02:11 AM

Aw, come on Carl--"Ich bin ein Berliner!"

Frank--Great to hear from you, too. Maybe the new site will bring all the old timers back out.

fotografr · 07/04/06, 02:13 AM

Ron (I mean Neuer)--Thanks much! Hope you make it to the next level soon.

fotografr · 07/04/06, 02:14 AM

Thanks much, Alberto.

gverdon · 07/04/06, 02:22 AM

Boy, it was difficult to follow the flow in the old forum... and I guess it will be harder here... ;-)

For this image; I unquestionably felt under her charm.
