About This shot was during a visit to my grandma's place. It's from the same roll of "My Rolleiflex and I 2", the first time I was playing with my Rolleiflex 3.5F and a recently acquired minolta IVF meter.
Well, there's no need to say how much I loved the results. I believe this combination to be a killer. It allows me to concentrate much more on expressions, as long as the light doesn't change, of course.
I simply love the colors this lens give. And the creamy bokeh. Focus is also very peculiar wide open - there's an impressive resolution, but there's a mood that's so unique and hard to find on other lenses, even on my Nikkor 85 1.4 AFD, which I love for any reason you can think of. But this late 50's lens always gets me by both its VERY unique atmosphere and resolution. And I always use it close to or wide open. One of my best buys, specially when you consider the price - around 200 US$...
I can all but recommend one to you. If you like film, like to shoot wide open, look for an old Rolleiflex. Check if the lens hasn't become a fungus/bacteria culture, give it a cleaning, adjustment and lubrication "spa maintenance" and slow down. Enjoy the joy of photographing again. Learn to wait. You'll love it.
If you, like me, own a 35mm film scanner, look for one with a Rolleikin, an acessory that allows you to use 35mm film on it. Otherwise, you'll have to have your 6x6 film scanned.
But 6x6 is even more amazing...
With film, bigger is always better.
I find the trio Rollei/Zeiss x Fuji (Superia or Provia) x Nikon Coolscan produces very nice colors, contrast, resolution with very little post scan manipulation needed.
Fuji's Superia 400 is a very nice print film, with an excellent balance between grain, color and contrast. I'll use it more, certainly.
Concerning the model, well, I'm very suspect to say anything...
I like this image composition. The diagonal lines from the defocused blinds help direct our minds to what should be so interesting to produce such a lovely expression on her face. The light was also special, smooth, adding to the image's mood.
I think the image has a certain Doisneau mood, both for her expression and somewhat unusual composition and angle.
Thanks for reading!
