This is so beautifully natural, Peter. You’ve really nailed your skin tines (well, that for the longest time now), but you so often succeed in capturing that special moment in a glance or expression. Out of curiosity, are your exposures made slowly, relying on anticipation and seein outside the frame lines or do you ever fire two or three in succession around anticipated moments. I’ve a friend who does the latter and swears that he benefits from that approach. Somehow, I suspect you rely on the former.. Thanks for another lovely portrait.
Thank you for the comment Henry. With regards to your question, I use a combination of the two approaches – depending on whether I’m capturing people in motion or at rest.
Crikey, Peter. Absolutely QUALITY portrait. Sorry for my bluntness but this one’s a corker. I much prefer mono for portraits but sheeeez, the colours here. Great stuff indeed! R.
Ha ha, thank you Rob. This one was ALMOST posted as a B&W shot.
In fact, I had it prepared as such but went back to the original file and re-worked it until I got what you see here.
Well, Sir… excellent choice, if I may say so! Of course, nothing wrong with posting a BW version one day? 😉 Would be interesting to see the difference. R.
I don’t normally post more than one version of an image, but I could post the B&W version tomorrow Rob.
I’d look forward to seeing it, Peter. I think it’s often interesting to see how a portrait can take on a different ‘persona’ (pardon the unintentional pun) when processed for colour and black and white. I shall keep an eye out, Peter. Thanks! R.
Okay, no problem, I’ll prepare the post.
You’re too kind, Peter. Thanks! R
Peter, again wonderful colours..the beautiful blurry background of mother nature´s colours of light-flooded golden autumn leaves and the contrast to the purple hat are gorgeous! When I look at this image, i asked myself : a MF?…. squaring the circle! Congrats! makes me want a M8!
Thank you Andreas. As you probably know, the M8 and M9 Kodak (now Truesense) CCD sensors are closely related.
I know they are siblings and each one of them has its advantages as I can see on your 50:50 🙂 …on my Turkey vacation over and over again the 1/4000 was blinking ( don´t wanted to use a ND-Filter) and I would love to have a 1/8000…
Before looking at the left column, I’ve said to myself, “aaah, film, so beautiful is film !” , I really thought it was from you Mamiya ! Wonderful.
Prosophos 
Beautiful photograph.
