It is, after all, 73 years old...... Oldie and cristal clear like truly yours 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the geolocation, time or weather you describe but this portrait was taken on a sunny day. Just for reference. The common comment I get from photographers on Tambar portraits, is "oh, lovely bokeeeh, but not enough contrast, bla, bla, bla"... well that is one of the reasons I like it. When I posted this one on another forum, someone downloaded the jpeg, put it through the "hyper trendy mega contrast super duper filter" and posted it back. I can't write here what my thoughts were, I'd be lynched. Welcome, dear visitor!

lct Posted June 17, 2021 Share #66  Posted June 17, 2021 Nice pic . Low contrast lenses were pretty common in the past. Some of them can still be found new in Russia.
