fotografr Posted September 6, 2006 Share #1 Posted September 6, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) My father will turn 87 next month and it was very important to him to have a four generation photograph taken with his son, grandson and great-grandson. We got the family all together in Portland, Oregon, last weekend and I took this photo at the exact spot where his grandson (on right) was married three years ago. M7, Nocti @ f/2.0, Fuji Velvia 50, Coolscan V. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

semrich Posted September 6, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 6, 2006 Brent, A family picture your father could be proud of, it looks like it was shot with studio lighting, Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertwang Posted September 6, 2006 Share #3 Posted September 6, 2006 Just wondering whether my slightly "greenish tint" is due to the lousy screen I am seeing this on? Wonderful shot. I like the idea of family connection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted September 6, 2006 Thanks much, Richard. This was just available light in open shade. Albert--Hopefully, the cast is just on your screen. I've viewed it on two monitors and don't see it. Both monitors were, however, calibrated with the same software/hardware combination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddp Posted September 6, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 6, 2006 Nice shot Brent...I always enjoy seeing Noct shots in "normal" situations.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted September 6, 2006 Thanks, Dan. I like to use the Nocti in normal situations because it has the ability to make those situations quite extraordinary. For shots like this one, the lens really deserves the bulk of the credit.

albertwang Posted September 6, 2006 Share #7 Posted September 6, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Bingo, reminds me now of Sally Mann's family photos with a more optimistic twist ... That's why I like family photos with an artistic bent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted September 6, 2006 Share #8 Posted September 6, 2006 Brent, Great family portrait, please tell your Dad I admire his taste in shirts and (judging by the socks) it looks like the kid has in herited the gene!!!!

stuny Posted September 6, 2006 Share #10 Posted September 6, 2006 Brent - No greenish cast on my monitor. I really like the color, light, focus and bokeh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevem7 Posted September 7, 2006 Share #12 Posted September 7, 2006 Superb shot here, and the Noctilux signature really makes it. Makes me want to go out and buy this lens, but at $3800 its only a dream right now. Great shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_stefan_r Posted September 7, 2006 Share #13 Posted September 7, 2006 a nice family picture, but to me as observer and not knowing these people a little uninteresting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackart Posted September 7, 2006 Share #14 Posted September 7, 2006 Very touching group portrait. Nice, that You found the moment to pose all together. I see visible blue cast.

fotografr Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share #17 Posted September 7, 2006 a nice family picture, but to me as observer and not knowing these people a little uninteresting. Thank you, Stefan. Actually, "a nice family picture" was all this was ever intended to be. Nothing more, nothing less. I make no pretense about producing great art. And thanks to everyone else who took time to look and comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted September 7, 2006 Share #18 Posted September 7, 2006 Brent, You have a camera with a self-timer? Stefan, Suspect Barnack had shots like this in mind when he invented the camera. It certainly works well for the streets of India too, but hardly exclusively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share #19 Posted September 7, 2006 Brent, You have a camera with a self-timer? William--I'm the son with NO offspring, so I always get to take the pictures instead of being in them. I know, you thought I was the old guy, right?
