Spent half an hour taking pics of my old friend, Mel, and her bonnie daughter, Marcie...

These were with the Fuji X-E1, 188-55mm lns. I also took a couple of film shots with the Zeiss Nettar, but will have to wait for them to be developed.

Third shot lovely!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Gary. I can never tell, when it comes to portraits.

2nd and 3rd are lovely, Rob. Do not want to pick one.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Nihat.

#2 is top of the pops for me, Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Brian. Appreciated.

 

[Lesley Jones]

It's the first and the third for me Rob. Only my opinion and I mention it just because I really think it is an awesome shot, but I'm wondering what it might look like if the girls legs are toned down a tad. I absolutely love the colours, the look and the processing, but my eye is being drawn down...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Agreed, Lesley - they are a bit red!

 

[Pete Askew]

I'm with Lesley here Rob (Marcie's expression is classic!). I do prefer the colour portrait to the B&W one though - I think it both more flattering and the colours add so much more (maybe a bit of Dynamic Skin Softener or glamour Glow?).

My favourite though is the last. It works brilliantly with her tunic and that smile...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. I wasn't and am not happy with the set. It was all a bit disruptive, and I never felt in control of what I was doing. Interesting, though.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Love the first one Rob, it's brilliant!
I'm sure they'd like a copy of that

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Dan. They said they love the colours, even the red legs...
