great story,, sounds like she has spent some time in a darkroom in her past years and still recalls a few of those old tricks we used to pull out a photo,,

That's really awesome man. The photo looks great! I love when things like this happen. Had an older gentlemen ask me to sit for a portrait a few years ago and said I'd love to. He used my camera (dslr) and I sat there for about 30 minutes and he pressed the shutter twice. It was very strange to me at the time, but from time to time when I think about it, I really try to slow down and see the shot more clearly.

Thanks for sharing man

Nice story. When my mother was confined to a nursing home for the last year of her life, I got to make friends and have lunch and dinner with her and "the other guests'. It was very interesting to chat with them and to help them get their meals, salads and desserts.
Guess what? I learned that older people are real people just like you and me except that their bodies have broken down.

Nice story. But I don't like the picture. Am I the only one here? (probably the only one). I think the shadow made by the veil on the woman's face is completely not working... I for one second thought she was a guy ... sorry.

Even if I didn't like the image - and I do, very much - the story was worth it.

Well told.

I'd be interested to see what you had done before she showed up and see how it effected your style. I assume you WB using the zone system?

i turn the lights off and eyeball it to whatever real life resembles. in this case i think they are looking a bit ashy...no?

Yep too ashy, not a huge fan of the photo myself. If I was color blind I might take a look at some of the more commercial versions of color correcting utilizing the color sample reference tool in PS that allows you to track several areas of the picture and push them more towards 'normal'. You can do it a bit more scientifically.
