un poète
« on: December 17, 2016, 18:52:35 »
My youngest son (he is 10) won a poetry contest organized for the patrimony day by the Parisian region. So he got his price from important people who speak like politicians, and also by the director of the Louvre museum, who surprised us by being quite a "normal" and actually very humorous person...
For the first time in his life, Robin went to the hairdresser for the occasion. I had to keep a memory of that.
This was shot with my X-T1, Nikkor 50mm 1.4 AF-D and a standard (empty) adaptor. I like that lens more and more on the Fuji. I just wish it were easier to manual focus. One day I will get a real MF lens in that focal length range.
The artist was lit by my dirt cheap 60x60cm led panel.

Beautiful portrait Olivier! .. if not already, then someday he will realise that his father is a poet with a camera  :)

Indeed. I think I remember that you mentioned, some time ago, his growing impatience in front of a camera. Apparently he still tolerates your bad habits.

Just like me at that age. Lovely. Good you are a proud father. Let his thoughts grow wild like his hair. Let him learn to tame himself. Congratulations

Very nice portrait

a manul 50mm e series lens is very cheap , but has the right feel of a manual lens

Thanks everyone. We have many reasons to be proud of him.
Airy: he is still willing to be photographed, it is his sister who is running away when she sees the camera...
Armando: thank you for the tip. The nice thing about mirrorless is that I can adapt virtually any lens!

Olivier, maybe it is time to look elsewhere than Nikon: there are 50mm lenses with better bokeh, if that matters. For portraits for instance, I got very nice shots with the old Nikkor 50/1.4 SC, but bokeh can be terrible (or terribly interesting). Pentax or Minolta seem to have good things to offer.

I did not see the Apo-Lanthars being mentioned ;)

Because this original name was actually miss-spelled perhaps?  :D
