I like this one!


Off topic:
I'm selling the 85LII over here. Seems like it's more popular in the usa than in Belgium/Holland.
I thought it would sell quite easily (the price is right). I was wrong.

I also saw your sale of the 85LII (1475EUR). I think the reason why nobody wants to buy it, is because you can buy it at a Swiss shop new for 1595 EUR incl shipping.
For a price difference of 125 EUR on a lens of 1600 EUR, it's not really worth buying something used (with also taking certain risks of buying second hand).
If you put it at 1300 EUR, I think you will have more luck. I'm also looking to buy this lens...

A swiss shop that sells it for that price? That's mad cheap! Most stores sell it for about 1800-1900 euro
In that case I could consider lowering the price to 1300 indeed.
Thanks for the tip.

Great job. You seem to have captured a very sweet personality.

It is easy when working with Molly. She is very bubbly and out-going.

Absolute no go for me... Really doesn't work for this kind of subject..

Maybe for a goth/matrix style shoot but for glamour forget it.

My 2 cents

Stellar shots everyone....and I agree the greentone seems off

....here are three more from last night
1.

Honestly, I think the effect is a bit strong for this shot. maybe a bit less and it would look better (though to be fair this is my work monitor and the color might be off on it).

Yes... most think the toning isn't for the senior... and the no toned shot looks best.. agreed.

just learning..
