Am I exploiting her by taking a picture of her and her kid even though i gave a small donation ?
Or
Am I being exploited because they are likely to be controlled by a syndicate ?

Some Grasses - I was testing a few different lenses close focusing.

I have an RD1s and have posted several pics on this thread in the past: and I have been "away" from RFF for the last several months due to life, but I find it so refreshing and inspiring to see new owners/users of the RD1s with such great results. This is a 6 MP champ that I have always admired, and continues to be a legit digital camera despite technological advancements in digital photography.

Hillary, I really love the first two pics above: the BW has a subtle glow to it in the background, and you captured the man's expression perfectly. The second pic also has a really nice color tone/resolution: the detail/resolution in the foreground with the softer color tones and bokeh in the background. i used to have a Zeiss 28/2.8 that I used on the RD1s, with very good color results, and that is what your color pic reminds me of. I would be curious what glass you used in the first two shots and if you did any PP?
 
kenny: one exercise i do for all my lens is to test the focusing:

a. 1 to Infinity and Infinity to 1 testing.
b. a Slight Left, Centre, and Sligh Right focus.

all at the widest aperture, which in this case is f1.4.

I then compare the images. For my R-D1 and CV 35/f1.4,
the focus is better from 1m to Subject than say starting from Infinity to
the subject.

I am sure your mileage may vary.

Hi Gary :) I believe I used a Jupiter 8 50/2 for those two photos.. I shoot raw and then use lightroom for the initial PP and then photoshop to touch up the contrast a bit. The Jupiter tends to have considerably lower contrast than my CV 40/1.4(used for the last photo from that post) and it also flares quite a bit.. but the flaring makes for nice glowing backgrounds and bokeh :) glad to know I'm on the right track!
