Blanka And Noemi

[Pete Askew]

OK, so there was clearly not enough light and the shutter speed was therefore way too long but I like the feel of the shot. I do have others that are sharp(er) but I think this is my favourite.

Polaroid SX-70 using Impossible B&W film. Print imaged using a Song RX100. Minimal PP in LR.

 

[Pete Askew]

I forgot, and yes, that is our very own Blanka!

 

[Glenn Clabo]

I can see why you like it Pete. It presents a little mystery. Me thinks you have a little personal attachment also.
I'd like to see a sharper image...just because those smiles are something else!

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Glenn. I think you're right. And, as you insist...

Leica M9 etc.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Confuse as to whether it was the picture you took of the picture or the picture you took of, that was blurry. Got it and think it is a smashing image Pete. The second one also, green eyes and all. Superb.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Julian. Yes, the instant photo was blurred as it was a long exposure and the they both (as well as me) moved!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Both cracking shots! The first really caught something beautiful. The second is just perfect.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

And nice to see your daughter and (?) granddaughter.

 

[Pete Askew]

Neither Rob. Ina and I have no children. Blanka is a very good friend (and a member of RPF) and Noemi is her daughter. She was staying with us for 10 days and is now back in Ostrava. She took a lot of pictures and I will hassle her to post some.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Gotcha. I hope she does.

 

[Brian Moore]

Oh my, Pete. You sure collected a lot of pins for your hat. I assume from your travels. Nicely done.

Lovely image the Polaroid. Yes, blurry image, but the happiness shines through sharply rendered.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Lovely air of contentment and pride captured in the original image. I like the fact that child only is looking towards you.
No problem whatsoever regarding the "blurriness".

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Tom.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

The first one shows real love, the other one; real fun and good workmanship Pete.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Ivar.
