The Lady Photographer Thread

Levina, interesting shot. The woman may be carrying a magazine, but the photo on it looks like herself when younger.

INteresting thought OhLook!.. and I does look that way
Levina, no matter the subject, I love to see views of Amsterdam. I looked at the EXIF and it looks like everything was "right"..

Yes! I thought it was so striking: the lady with that magazine and the pic on it reflecting what could be a younger version of herself. Just a great kind of mirroring if that is the correct word in English. Normally I would trash a shot like that as she is not in focus, but I can't bring myself to do that. It's just too striking. No other word for it.

The exif may be alright, Jo, but this is a manual focus lens and I had just bought it and went to Dam Square where I sat down on a bench, mounted it on the 5D and was checking it out: focus ring, aperture ring and distance scale when she walked by. No time to do anything. What a pity. Oh well...

It still came out nice, Levina. I have learned to like my less than stellar shots because if I didn't have them at all I would be sad. Lots of my busy grandkid shots are not quite up to par but nobody here seems to notice (or care) so all is well.

We become our strongest critics the more we shoot and learn

I am so itching to shoot .... Not really cleared to carry my gear.
I am still super tippy and I can't stand to wear a shoe on my left foot
I'm still growing nerves and it is really exciting ..
I know why small children throw their shoes out the car window
LOL

LOL, Joayne!

Last year I was as busy as all get out with photo shoots in December. this year, they are just a trickle, yet I am happy to have a little break so I can get my holiday shopping & baking done. We have a big party here every Christmas Eve. I have one more shoot this weekend & then I am done for a couple of weeks. I have 2 newborns due in February, hopefully before we go to Maui for a week.

LOL! I hope you aren't tossing out Pradas and Jimmy Choos and the likes?!!

But great to hear you are making progress, Jo. 'Growing nerves' wow! It actually does sound exciting.

I can't see your shot Levina? wonder why?

^^^ Hmmm, I have no idea why you can't see it, Penel. I've checked and everything seems to be all right on my end.

Interesting shot Levina...nice

I still can't see it - how weird?

I went to the Natural History Museum today - primarily to see the Wildlife Photographer of The Year exhibition - some beautiful shots there, although I have to say I find it hard to believe the under 10s can carry a DSLR and a 300m 2.8 and a tripod through a bog LOL! ho hum…

Here's some of my museum shots:

Those are great, Penel.

How are would that be as the dad? For the photographer, too?

Some great shots there Penelope!

Love the museum shots, Penel. That is one place I would love to visit.

I love museums! Nice shots, Penel. I have hundreds from the Louvre, The Museum of Natural History in New York, The Getty in Los Angeles, The Vatican, L'Academia in Florence & many others. I am definitely a museum junkie!!

I took this shot a while ago. I had just bought the Pallas Magenta 28mm f/2.8 (an old vintage lens) and was sitting on a bench at Dam Square, fiddling with the focus ring when this lady walked by. There was no time to do anything, so I just pointed the camera and took the shot. Such a pity that the focus is off, especially on her face, but I like this shot so much that I'm posting it anyway.
