Portrait of Des

[FrankS]

Here's a picture of Des, a children's storyteller who performed at my school last week. Taken with a Bessa R and 50mm f1.8 Canon lens at f2 and 1/30 (I think) by a window. I asked her if I could take her photo, posed her near the window and took 3 shots, all in less than 1 minute. Film was grocery-store 200 ASA colour neg. and I scanned the 4by6 print in 256 shades of grey.
I only wish there were catchlights in her eyes.

Frank,
VERY good. I don't think you needed a reflector. I perfer available light pictures and this is really nice.
