The last one also for me... I thought it was an rule never to use even numbers maybe that's why I prefer the last one?

For less then 100 pound you can get a calibration device so there is little reason not to buy one if you do photography.
Except if your monitor is one of the ones with a TN panel (which is most of them), making calibration pointless
You sure, I think they would work on the higher quality ones.

@James, I wanted to have a Colormunki but found out it didn't work on my CRT screen
I think I will simply out source the bigger or important prints...

Don't forget DOF also depends on focal length and focus distance.
You get a lot more DOF (more than twice) with a 50mm f/1.4 or even a f/1.2 lenses than with a 85mm f/1.4

So the wider the angle you can use the better in your case.

I think your best bet is to go for a 50mm lens.

I had no idea this was, film
You should be able to do the same in the darkroom most likely but I've never worked in one so can't say for sure.

As if you want to do this on a digital camera, then yes you can but it's far easier to get results at home with your computer.

What I did might be simulated in Picasa but Gimp (also free) has the same layer as I used in Photoshop.
It's called a softlight layer and it darkens or lightens a colour and you get these kind of effects, you use the opacity of the softlight layer to adjust the effect.

Here is a video that shows the effect http://vimeo.com/1411985

ps. just thought about it but a polarize filter might be able to come close to the effect.
Beside polarizing light it also removes the greyness and that's what you want.

Just joking around James

I was trying to make it bright and vibrant without losing any important details and so by clipping the highlights I hoped to make the appearance she is in a world of her own.
Apparently it didn't work

Thank you ReklawyksEkul, she was really trying her best.

James are you now questioning my ability to expose a photo

I wanted to place more focus on the eyes and I indeed clipped the photo on purpose because I thought that would work well by making it more interesting.

ps. she was wearing a white skirt, I don't have to tell you it wasn't white when she left
