Introducing Lissy

This is Lissy, a new friend of Charlotte's, plus a picture of them both together.




These were shot yesterday, see my EPZ blog for more, the first proper photoshoot for some time. Pentax K-1 and 28-105mm lens.
PS The monochrome was an in-camera JPEG; I really like the results that we can get in this way. I just select Monochrome and get just the tones I strove to achieve in the darkroom.

On viewing the monochrome image my first instinct was "great processing" - then I read your comments about it being a Monochrome in-camera JPEG . So my comments are now Great Composition and Great in-camera processing

I have to admit I was intrigued by the amount of effort that Pentax/Ricoh put into the various JPEG settings (you can read about it on the Ricoh web site) they have a very strong belief that this Camera can be used as a JPEG machine, producing top results - looks like they're right

She looks like an interesting character, really like the 1st image

Lovely use of the light in No 1, great eyes expression. No2, to be young again Thanks for the monochrome tip.

I missed this post before. John that first one is a stunning portrait.

I think many of us tend to reprocess our colour images to mono. I certainly do now and then. We have got out of the mindset of black and white (film) from the outset. This is a very good prod to start shooting B&W outright since, as you and Lenny bloke say, there is a first class facility inside the K1.
