All the different shades of blues and greens are incredible.  

 

 

Imagine looking down at this with your camera in hand.  A vast playground of surreal elements and colors just waiting to be played with and free for the taking.  A salivating moment, it was.

great portrait, superb expression and tones ! 

Thank you.  You know, I wasn't expecting anybody to like this that much.

[finarphin]

Fin I agree with Gary nice portrait

color is perfect IMO

Welcome to our thread

Have you more ?

Thanks for posting

Thank you.  I have plenty more of a similar persuasion.  As for the color, not long ago I got Adobe Photoshop again after not having had it for about 10 years; I'm getting used to making color adjustments, although here I was probably lucky with the lens and the light and the film.

 

Next picture: this was about two years ago, right after I got the camera back after having the shutter curtains replaced.  It was in June, in the afternoon, and there is a white wall about 25 yards to the right, and also a frown fence, which look to have bounced a lot of light onto the subject.   When I got this back from scanning I could hardly believe how good it looked -- the rendition of the lens, I mean -- just like National Geographic, I thought.  Well, in those days that's probably what they were using.  This is with a Leica IIIf (1951), and a 50mm Summicron collapsible (1953).

Lovely and superb portrait well reproduced by film. You know why ?

because of the edges and lines of the face not "cutting" but soft like in natural.

Thank you Fin for these pictures. I prefer in color for the hair and skin

I normally avoid taking this sort of picture, (street musicians) but I'd like to introduce Neil, Jane and Dean!

Yes Kodachrome has one of the best red

Even in landscape, Kodachrome color is something else

I took these at a Veteran's Memorial near my house.  The backdrop was not great;  a lot of telephone poles, wires and fences to work around.  It was still fun shooting the SWC hand held.

Our wee lad, deciding what to spend his pocket money on.

I'll add he's 32 now, married, and with a nipper of his own on the way, how time flies.
