Popular Post benqui Posted September 3, 2023 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 3, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Taken with the M-P 240 and 2/90 Apo Summicron. I almost use never a flash, but in this case I had to use it (SF-40) because of the limited low light performance of the M240 (I sold it to buy the M10-D). To be honest, I am not so experienced with the SF-40 and I try several photos until I have one which I like. In this case I liked the style of this photo with the light on Sironis face, the shadow in the background and her cool, almost dismissive attitude. For a sharper version, just click on the photo.

Lelmer Posted September 3, 2023 Share #2 Posted September 3, 2023 Splendid portrait! Have you noticed a significant improvement between M240 and M10? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot Lelmer! The most important improvement for me was the better low light performance of the M10. And the colors out of the cam of the M10 are really perfect for me. Almost no time needed for postproduction and wasting time in front of a computer 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted September 3, 2023 Share #4 Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) That's about as good as flash images can look, but I'd have moved her farther out from the background so as to avoid the shadow down the right side. Some people like that (as you stated that you do) but I'm not one of them. When I was shooting for a living, I carried a one meter synch cord so that when I had to use the flash I could elevate and center it to avoid getting the shadow. Otherwise, the portrait is superb. The pose, composition, expression, colour balance--all excellent as usual. Edited September 3, 2023 by fotografr 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted September 4, 2023 Share #5 Posted September 4, 2023 Quite remarkable for flash. Lovely 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc B-C Posted September 4, 2023 Share #6 Posted September 4, 2023 I have yet to take a photo with my SF40 that I am even remotely happy with. Well done! I like it. I would love to know the flash settings. All manual? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted September 4, 2023 Share #7 Posted September 4, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm being too critical lately. You like the shadow, you clearly know what you're doing and always post incredible images, so I'm going to retract my negative comment about the shadow. Just a simple matter of different styles. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem at all! There is no right and no wrong! I like our respectful discussions a lot Brent! Always a good possibility to learn how to see a photo from another point of view. And for sure I never had the feeling the your comment was too critical. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nachtmsk Posted September 7, 2023 Share #10 Posted September 7, 2023 Nice. perfect light for that attitude and pose. She's probably very nice but looks like a man-eater here! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

werner__ Posted September 9, 2023 Share #12 Posted September 9, 2023 Wenn ich für mich, das Bild unmittelbar unterhalb der Schulter "beschneide", also so, das vom BH nichts zu sehen ist, gefällt es mir persönlich wesentlich besser. Aber wie alles im Leben, reine Geschmacksache. Das Prädikat: "Besser geht`s nicht", kann ich hier leider nicht vergeben, was allerdings nicht heißen soll, das das Bild insgesamt schlecht ist!

benqui Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share #13 Posted September 11, 2023 Die Geschmäcker sind verschieden Werner, da hast Du recht. Mir gefiel es so am besten. Der andere Beschnitt wäre mir zu nah. Aber dank Dir für den Vorschlag! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shlomo Posted September 16, 2023 Share #14 Posted September 16, 2023 This is just superb: light, attitude, color - another great image from Marc the Magician. She looks like a very rare and beautiful animal, I love it. Cheers, Shlomo ❤️ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also love her attitude in this photo, but in real life she is very very nice and more a musician than a model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
