Bit confused as what have the last two posts have got to do with the forum theme of "Portraits"

The 50mm f1.2 is a great portrait lens.

I had to delete a picture that, although very nice, was inappropriate to post in our forum.

might i ask why???

nice to see someone still has time for the darkroom.

I used to spend more time in one then out. But I sold the last of my darkroom kit in 2003.

Little bit ashamed to admit that I elect an outside Lab for Dev and just scan the negs. Shameful I know but........................ !

I understand completely. The reason I sold all my stuff is that the computer made it seem unnecessary. Still you are using film, and that is rare enough these days.

with Photoshop, you actually can do much more, it a more controlled manner. yet I see people with real chemical darkroom experience, they make a better sense in Photoshop, than people has only digital processing concept.

Can you imagine if Photoshop came along first, then years later, some guy tried to sell you on film, light-meters, the darkroom thing / chemicals.

I did experience developing film in high school and its good background but could I ever switch back?

Great shot. Unusual and dramatic angle. Like it a lot

Life seen, not shared. Like most of the lives we walk by and fail to see.

a lot about life & how to live it...
