Installment #2 of the "back to the 60's" stuff

I just love how the flare from that old single coated 105mm f/2.5 adds to the atmosphere of this shot. Not everything has to be super sharp and contrasty! And the grain just adds to the charm of the image.

Not really sure that I get it, but okay.

This is part of a project I have undertaken to get back to my photography roots. I started doing serious photography in 1972. I wanted to capture the charm of the nudes/glamour of the 1960's and early 1970's. So, I got an old single coated 105mm f/2.8 non-AI Nikkor on Fleabay and have been shooting everything with the F2 and this lens and using TX developed it "hot" (at 75º) to accentuate the grain. So far I am very pleased with the results.

Nice job, very moody.
I like the grain structure.
The lack of contrast just adds to this shot.

Where is installment #1 ?

I like it very much

I like the artistic feel of the shot! Gives more of a feeling of the mood! Great shot buddy!

Really like this, it has the feel of an Emmanuelle movie promo shot

Took it to Lightroom and pulled some shadows.

Nicely done, very evocative. Turned this old head. Thanks ed

I never thought of that but you are exactly right!

Kind of has a David Hamilton look to it.
