Another available light portrait. The cold weather has kept me indoors… the light is very poor unless I photograph near a window.

A nice little beam of sunlight provided the illumination for this image.
The previous Purple Hat Portrait, which has a very different vibe, may be found here.
Yesterday, I posted a test shot taken with the new gear. However, I’m more interested in portraits than in test shots, so I’m curious to find out what people think of the overall rendering in this portrait.

Film, Inspiration, Portrait, Street, Teaching point, Voigtländer 40mm f/1.4 NoktonFor anyone in doubt about film having a different look from digital, look carefully at this image.
Noteworthy observations: the colours, the tonality. There are other differences that I’ve never been able to put my finger on — call it the “je ne sais quoi” factor.
As an aside, I’ve always found that the Voigtländer Nokton 40mm, the lens used to capture this image, performs exceptionally well on film.
