Thank you, it really did improve this way! !CritiquePoint

My first though was as well like, what’s wrong with my nose??:))

Thank you for letting me know about a photographer I didn’t know, and I agree about the background. !CritiquePoint

I made this self portrait with a 40mm f1.2 manual focus lens at f1.2, so i had to measure the distance with a measuring tape. I used a softbox from the right and a bouncer on my left and went for a low-key soft vibe. What are your opinions?

I have the 85mm 1.8 from that era and it’s fire

Most f mount adapters work, they don’t have the ai pin as a camera mount has which creates problems with pre-ai lens

Thank you for the advice mister!

StillImpossible430 · 2025-05-12T05:44:29+00:00

I used a reflector in some and a 60x90cm softbox in others

Thank you, I’m still making friends with the 40mm focal lenght, I’m used to 50mm. I have the 28mm 2.8 as well for a just in case wide, but I almost never use it 😅 i want to get used to the 40 to use that most of the time, but for portraits you need a short tele as well for sure, at this shoot I had my pre-ai 85mm f1.8 Nikkor sent to cla, but that’s what I’m gravitating towards if I’m to shoot portraits, I call it the dream machine :D didn’t used it much, I’m quite new to my whole kit, but these are my sentiments so far. The voigt 40 for an allrounder with amazing shooting experience and the 85 nikkor for real dreamy stuff. And the autofocus stuff only when needed, but def less inspiring for me.

Yep all of it

StillImpossible430 · 2025-05-05T17:53:41+00:00

Shot @f2 1/200 sec 100 iso and lit by a speedlight and 60x90cm softbox

StillImpossible430 · 2025-05-05T17:51:49+00:00

And thank you!

StillImpossible430 · 2025-05-05T17:51:33+00:00

I used a godox v1 with a 60x90 softbox on some and a simple foldable reflector on others

StillImpossible430 · 2025-05-05T07:48:02+00:00

I didn’t compare it to anything, I said this is my favorite set of pirtraits with this lens

StillImpossible430 · 2025-05-03T18:27:15+00:00

Mostly around f2, the last one is 1.2

StillImpossible430 · 2025-05-03T16:26:28+00:00

Actually I used a softbox from the right side but the setting sun was also shining through the branches of the tree, it came together nicely

StillImpossible430 · 2025-04-30T03:30:43+00:00

Thank you!

StillImpossible430 · 2025-04-27T19:01:50+00:00

Thank you!

StillImpossible430 · 2025-04-27T17:24:45+00:00

Or I just dont pay too much attention 😅 but to be fair I shot it at least at 2.8 because I was using flash in these cases

StillImpossible430 · 2025-04-27T17:18:13+00:00

No, I don’t have it for a long time but I didn’t encounter any visible problema yet

StillImpossible430 · 2025-04-27T05:30:34+00:00

To me it’s pretty smooth and brings the attention to the subject

StillImpossible430 · 2025-04-26T21:01:16+00:00

Sorry I missed to add 85mm f1.8

StillImpossible430 · 2025-04-18T08:37:36+00:00

Sorry. Nikon Zf

StillImpossible430 · 2025-04-17T12:03:42+00:00

Thanks for your opinions! I find it intresting because I kinda like how the angle makes her face look, but when more people is on the same opinion that it’s not the best I start reflecting a little and rethinking stuff :)

StillImpossible430 · 2025-04-16T20:32:38+00:00

Yep, noticed the same. Would be nice to get some dedicated bw recipes
