Description
kinda part deux of :thumb29768339: ....wouldn't you interact with someone who smiles at you?
would you give someone yelling at you a real smile?
with the fucking eyes.
ya' know ...
well ... i know i friggin' wouldn't.
people who yell at me get the c-bomb dropped. guy or girl.
doesn't matter.
like the ungrateful bastard who i got rep'd by an agency who says, "dude ... stop making her look at you. i can't get anything."
he'd probably burned through a 1gb card.
the one thing about line shooters ... they don't care about making something interesting.
just the standard eye-contact-head-shot.
or 20 of them.
so ... what did i say to the ingrate?
"there's a reason you're back there ... and ... i'm out here. trust me."
fucked up?
well ... this is hollywood.
there are alpha dogs and dogs who lay at the ground spreading their legs.
dunno why i said that.
anyway ... this 85/1.2L ... i see with it the way i see with my leica m's. different ... but much the same.
i saw washed out with backlight.
focused on her left eye.
magical bokeh of some fucked up background that ends up looking cool.
bumping the contrast.
adding some noise to the noise that's alread inherent at 800 iso.
i can't believe how much i love this lens.
sadly ... the leicas have suffered ever since the new baby arrived as it were.
Visit my prints store !
canon e1dm2. 85/1.2L. 1/500th or so. f1/2. 800 iso. converted to b/w in ps cs with custom channel mixing actions. bumped contrast. adj levels.

Your analogy about dogs makes me laugh, considering your avatar here... the little pooch who steals a march on the pack of bigger dogs...

You did afterwork on a digital image? You're slipping!
I agree with you on the bokeh and the bacground. At first glance I didn't think much of it (even though quality-wise it's really good), but if you pay closer attention it really starts to speak.

After looking at the first one of her and this one now.... i think she looks even more adult here... something different abt her lips... well maybe its extra lipliner.... but ... she almost look as fulfilled as a pregnant woman. Ok i dont know what made me say that.
But you got a hot one here.....

Yeah, when I first looked at it from the homepage, I thought you stuck a picture of Mischa on a background you made.
Little did I know. Awesome picture, dude! Or...or dudette. XD

i love the connection that she is making with the camera, and the wonderful photographer. its obvious that there is some sort of a connection, and that connection is what makes or breaks a photo, and it definatly made it.

Did this one get picked up by a publication? Because it's got a real magical quality with the background as it is, and her look.

I'd hit it, plus she's 1/2 irish, would make mum proud....
Sad thing is, I'll never go near it .
Do you point the cam. and take a few shots to get an image like that, or do you just take one shot and it is the shot you need?
