You're doing a great job with the X-T20. Real inspiration for me to start using ours a lot more. What film profile are you using on these? Love the skin colors.
Also, how do you like the 55-200mm? My wife wants a telephoto zoom but I don't think she'll appreciate the weight of the 50-140.
Thanks! I shoot RAW, but I usually use the classic chrome profile in Lightroom, and did for both of these portraits. I love the skin tones of classic chrome. I'll use Provia, Acros and CC most often for other work, but that's just a starting point. Sometimes I prefer the Adobe standard profile for some shots. I also have custom profiles from my color checker passport.
I like the 55-200 a lot. It's not quite as good as the 50-140, but it's not too far off really, and is far lighter.

It's a very good lens. I've just got a rental for review, though. It's very sharp right from f/2 and you can see that the bokeh is pretty good as well. For my use, it's a bit shorter than I like for this type of lens. I'll be keeping my 56/1.2, but it's a great option for staying small, yet very capable. Review coming probably next week.
Thats not an easy one for me to explain, let me try...
The shadow you see is a woman (i guess) walking over a bridge behind me.
I'm standing around 3 meters from her under/nearby the bridge. So the sunlight can't reach me
and therefore there is no shadow of me on the image. I love this place, I could stay there for hours just watching shadows...

Peter, your work is brilliant, and this is yet another. Wonderful shot. How did you capture the person's shadow without having your own in the image?
