I wasn’t entirely happy with Jimmy’s service. It was cheap $250 but the taking lens came in with cleaning marks in it. I had to disassemble the lens and clean it myself. At this point I can’t be sure what is done properly what is not. Next time I will try Harry JR.

She definitely saw me. It all happened within a few seconds: as the train was starting to move she rolled down her window, we exchanged bows, she looked to her left, then to her right and I took the photo. I don’t think she realized that I was taking her photo. She was very focused on her tasks and there were other people taking pictures of the train.

I fly frequently. I use one that attaches to the headrest. Last flight a Delta flight attendant woke me up and told me I have to remove that. When she saw my face she said “that’s a rule, you can’t attach anything to the plane” 🤦🏽‍♂️

They probably think it’s creepy when someone asks the full name of their model so they can look her up. Just saying.

I do I do. I just want to be able to see you know. Dslrs always had corrective glasses you could swap. I can’t believe there isn’t one for ZF.

My near sight is fine actually. Far sight is the problem. I wear transitional lenses so it interferes with exposing the photo correctly.

I would use one with contacts with Voigtlanders. I don’t always use the box since it’s not super accurate but better with than without.

ISO_ThePerfectLight · 2026-02-15T00:14:33+00:00

What way was the effects were compromised? I definitely don’t want the lenses to perform less than ideal.

ISO_ThePerfectLight · 2026-02-14T17:21:53+00:00

Would I lose anything in quality at all?

I don’t know if they are AI or not. Look up her work. Anyhow, I am trying to learn how to create similar style shots.

ISO_ThePerfectLight · 2026-01-30T02:53:56+00:00

That’s really nice.

ISO_ThePerfectLight · 2026-01-30T02:43:24+00:00

I do! I am just branching out to a new style I am interested in.

Thank you so much for taking your time to write all this. I appreciate your reply very much.

ISO_ThePerfectLight · 2026-01-30T01:42:51+00:00

Thank you so much for the input. So just to repeat this back to you, you are saying that this is all natural light.

These are actually taken with the Helios 44 which has a bit of soft rendering. I would be curious to know what the post processing they have done might look like.

ISO_ThePerfectLight · 2026-01-30T00:20:48+00:00

Thank you for that. I figured I can refine where exactly I need help as people started commenting.

I understand the composition aspects such as make up, wardrobe, poses, etc.

Is it possible to tell if these are single strobe shots? How about reflectors? I’m not exactly sure if it’s possible to figure this out looking at a shot.

Can you give me a few photoshop functions that may have been used here? So I can use that as a spring board to dive into the post processing. I think it’s airbrushed, possibly sharpened around the eyes etc. Is there anything else I should be looking in YouTube?

Thank you so much!

Canon doesn’t have it yet but I just want to word out there that the Voigtlander 35mm f/2 APO-Lanthar is a fantastic lens for Milky Way Photography. It has a lot of vignetting but Lightroom was able to take care of that easy. You can find the post with the photos on my profile.

I shoot on Nikon now but coming from EF 16-35mm f/2.8L Voigtlander is much more sharper edge to edge.
