My daughter has developed into quite the young artist. She sketches, draws and paints. She’s currently very fascinated by Manga and has been doing a lot of sketches influenced by that style. She’s also learned to ignore dad when he’s got a camera in hand! I managed to shoot several portraits of her as she was sketching away one day, by the winter light of a northwest facing window. This image was made with the Nikon Df, a remarkable camera that I will have more to say about in the next few days. The lens used was the classic Noct-Nikkor 58mm f/1.2 lens. One of my all-time favorite lenses for Nikon F-mount. Shot wide open at f/1.2, focus was on the eyelashes, with the rest of the image showing the wonderful out-of-focus rendering that the Noct is so well known for. RAW conversion using Capture NX 2.4.5.
As always, comments and critique welcome!
Nice shot and love the black and white. That is a very special lens. In fact, I use something similar on my A7R and on my M240 bodies with EVF. The Minolta MC-Rokkor PG 58mm 1.2. Timeless classics in my opinion.
