Ruth and I are navigating the dense, wild and treacherous riparian forest on our local river. Which incidentally is the largest river of Norway and thus has massive power during the spring flooding to move stuff around as it seems fit. Tree trunks are criss-crossing the river margins so even following a footpath is painfully slow. Ruth the dear girl is soldiering on in front of me. I tried to follow her but was waylaid all the time by the scenery :).

Taken with the modified monochrome NEX-5N. The lens is the 85mm f/3.5 Voigtländer APO-Lanthar in RF(S) mount. An excellent small and unobtrusive lens that unfortunately is hard to get hold of these days, production run being very limited (700?).

(my apologies if the image has been posted earlier on NG)

I like your use of Dof and the added depth with the background. Works very well to balance her gentle expression and human curved lines.

No make-up. Cold morning in Granada. The combination of D3s and 135mm 2.8 ai makes the image look more "organic" if that makes any sense.

Thanks Paco.

I like that natural look, works great here.

Impressive show off with the dog. The clouds help to put him  in the spot lights.
