Re: Exhibit Portrait shots
A very nice portrait indeed. Well done Saurabh.
This one is a self portrait dating from 1982 (most probably), shot with a Kiev-17 and a Helios-81 which is a 52mm f/2.0 lens (odd name, won't you agree). As for the used film, it was probably an ISO 64 (ASA 64) soviet film (what else could we find then?)
And NO, I wasn't really smoking

Re: Exhibit Portrait shots
[quote="drskn08"]Hello guys,
I have some portrait shots but this one is my favorite not only because this is my grandmom but it shows the traditional look of a hindu married woman with a happy look- traditional sari, part of which turn into scarf , vermilion on forehead whcih is the symbol of married woman in hindus. This portrait has won some prizes in different contests held in India and online contests too.. i have sold many prints of this image also and those money goes to my grand mom and every time i give her the prize or money, she give me smile in the same way as in this pic
Nice shot. I can see why it wins so many awards. The beatific smile sums it up.

Re: Exhibit Portrait shots
Doc admonished me that the B&W version of this one should have been in this thread. Here is the color version.

I love the selection Kevin. The facing away duo is adding an element of story.

Re: Exhibit Portrait shots
Thank you Doc and Saurabh.
Aurabh,
The farmer pictures are amazing. I find them a tad too saturated. Are they straight off the camera?
As for your question on which lens for portrait, I take shots with whatever I have on the body. I am
just a rank amateur hobbyist.

Re: Exhibit Portrait shots
Thank you mark and sury. Sury, i take raw images and then if necessary i increase the vibration slightly in lightroom. The 1st one id obtained from raw and yes i had probably enhanced the vibration slightly ( i usually don't touch saturation in lightroom) but the 2nd one is directly from camera.. it was takedn as jpeg. even my grand mom's portrait was also taken as jpeg

Re: Exhibit Portrait shots
I can imagine the vibrant colors are not to everyones liking. I am with Kevin on these. The colors really work!
