Title: Nude, detail
Post by: golunvolo on May 09, 2016, 00:19:04

This fits several threads here in the community: black and white, blurry,  minimalist, rodenstock 100mm 1.6, I will like critiques and since it was taken handholding the camera and the lens -no mount- beyond my realistic expectations.

   C&c always welcome

The minimalist & almost abstract composition of this provocative subject matter works well with the mood you've set through lighting, lens, and grainy B&W post work.

It's refreshing to see you deviate from the more common flower photographs that the Heligon is all so often used for.

 I think this lens is going to take me places -can´t wait for Spanish post to finally deliver Bjørn´s-. It is different. If the right subject is present it can do magic. I have seen this already from many of your contributions here at NG. Abstract/minimalist seams to fit it very well.
   Thanks Charlie for noticing the post. I´m very pleased it works not just for me.
   The model is not patient. This is lucky shot. Was trying to do something else. She didn´t know until I showed her the result. Was taking in passing. Sometimes it works :)
   Were else? Is the only way I know how to use it :)

  Thank you all for your comments.

I see it gets clearer and more clean. I have tried with a 16/9 and a tighter one. I like the crops, is this what you have in mind? Feel free to show a different version.

the first (normal size) crop is exactly what I had in mind :) I prefer it to the original as the legs got too long - just my opinion of course.

BTW - An old trick is to have the model wear loose fitting clothes for a long time before the shoot so as not to leave any marks from tight underwear trousers as they are removed,,,
