I actually posted these a short while ago in a techy discussion of the CV 50 Nokton FE. But here now for content criticism!
I am a long-time resident of the photography community, but only recently as a photographer. Mostly, I produced fancy print catalogs back in the days before the internet replaced most print merchandise catalogs. So, I frequently hung out with talented location-fashion-photographers.
But I am now long-since retired and trying to figure out how the smart, talented kids did and do this. After a lot of failed experiments, I think I’ve come to see where I belong—event and street portraits, and casual, personal portraits. Not necessarily because I have mastered those, but rather, that’s where my ocd leads me!
I recently stumbled onto 2 "visual opportunities" while on a photo walk.
In the first, this young woman was resting briefly on a street bench in my East Dallas neighborhood, on her own photo walk. The image has only been slightly altered from sooc—cropping and adjusting a bit for exposure. To me, a pretty good picture of a beautiful young person—gotten mostly by luck! God bless current Sony color-science, magnified manual focus, the Voigtlander 50mm Nokton at 1.2; and, of course, the genetic gifts this lady inherited...
In the second, I asked 3 guys playing basketball in the nearby park if it were ok to take a picture of them. I meant, "while you 3 are playing, even though I am an idiot to try this, using a MF lens". They surprised me by thinking I meant some kind of "team picture", which made focusing a good bit easier! They stopped, and came over to me. I just asked them turn to face into the below-treeline setting sun, and the Nokton did the rest. All 4 of us were quite happy with the rendering.

How might I have made these more better? Thanks.
