George

This is George, who came along to Arnold and District Camera Club's model night this evening.

I shot this using a vintage Pentax M SMC 50mm F1.7 lens attached to my Sony A6000

It was quite hard to focus manually as the bulb on one of the studio flashes failed. The flash still flashed , but there is a light on the flash to illuminate the set. Verity used a torch to shine some light on George's face to allow me to manually focus using the 40 year old lens !!!!

Hope you like this genre of portrait.

I have a striking mono version of this shot too, but decided to share a colour photo with you.
