Description

"You are too close." Oh ye of little faith. He didn't know my lens had a pseudo-macro function. I'm still waiting to have a real macro lens. (yearn, yearn) Taken at a bus stop, 30 odd years ago in England. Except for a little deepening of the contrast, some cleaning of debris, and resizing to post, this is how it is on the slide. Thanks for viewing, and for comments and favs.

Wow, you can see the pores in his nose. Very crisp and clear. Nice reflections on the glasses. You obviously take better care of your slides than I do.

My point and shoot does 2" macro, which is why I shan't be getting a hefty DSLR!

It really did turn out clear Lucinda, and it seems you proved him wrong as you know your equipment well ;) Keep the faith as I'm sure that macro lens is in your future

Secret Service Man, Secret Service Man.... Stellar scanning and clarity, color, and reflective ambience in this slide reincarnation from many years ago, Lucinda! As for the title, that's exactly what I tell the optometrist when she tells me to look at the eye chart with my right eye.

Oh he of little faith, it has turned out a beauty. I bet it surprised him. I'd love to have a proper macro lens too,[sigh]. What a shame we can't have everything we want. lol.

I love this shot! It's so unexpected and in a way, hyper-real. The depth and the color is marvelous, and so is the cropped nature of the subject matter. Truncated portraits...I love those and see too few of them. I like a good portrait, a good full face, but there are times when something like a facial fragment really speaks wonders and opens up an entire world to explore...what are those eyes looking at? I might ask...what does the air smell like? These are the kinds of things that always grab me in some way when an image reveals something, but not everything. Marvelous. Simply marvelous work.

What a unique and wonderful portrait! I especially love the blue, blue background. Must be a movie star, No?

if you can not buy a mirco len which will cost at lest $500 then go and get a Canon Close-Up len which fixs Canon and Nikon cameras. Just go to the camera shop with your camera and len and ask for one to fix your camera. It cost betten $70 to $140 and it 1/10 of the weight and size.it about 1 inch thick. I was going to buy one yesterday but the store in lafayette was closed and out of busisse cent june of last year. So I going to Orange,Tx. support to have a good camera shop there?
