In Thought

[Pete Askew]

Just a very simple portrait from the other evening.

Leica M9 + Leica 35mm Summilux M f1:1.4. ISO 320, 1/15s at f1:1.4. PP in LR, PS and Nik SilverFX Pro 2.

Simply perfect, Pete. What a photogenic face she has! The toning is interesting. If it was just black and white, her thoughts might have seemed too serious. The toning seems to lighten the mood somewhat. Well done.

Hand-held I presume, Pete? Well done for such a slow shutter speed. I love the narrow DOF also.

Thanks both. Yes, I think the coolness of the titanium toning suited the mood well. And, yes it was hand held. Shutter speeds of 1/15s and 1/8s can be used easily with a range-finder. I took 11 shots and there is no shake in any. What can I say about the model? Perfect of course!
