My Beautiful Wife and My $15 new camera

[jlykins]

I picked up a Nikon N4004 for $15 from my buddy the other day. Here are the first few images I got out of it. All shot with Fuji Reala 100.

I like #1 & #4
#1 - because it kinda give it a childish image, an adult sitting on a slide with a soft toy, its ncie

#4 because it looks like you're wife's a fairy, with only one wing! But its a cute photo

 

[jlykins]

Thanks! I appreciate it.

almost forgot, here's one of my son at the conservatory:

# 2 didn't need as much of the background to make the photo work

eg:
I cropped it, and adjusted the levels very slightly to make the red more vibrant

 

[MrsMoo]

he's such a cute little boy
I'm assuming its all natural light?

 

[jlykins]

I like the adjustments. I actually dropped the red a little with curves from the origional photo. Yes it was all natural light. I don't have a shoe mount for the film camera yet. I have some speed lights for my d300 but they won't work on the older cameras.

 

[MrsMoo]

I like working with natural light, some people think it's a pain
but with a couple of reflectors you're sorted!

none of this carrying lights about!

 

[jlykins]

Yeah I like natural light too. Especially when working with film. However I don't mind lights when I need them.

What nice colors, especially the reds.

Looks like you have a really nice family, consider yourself a lucky man.

best wish to you and your families.

Great looking pictures. I really like the colors and the shallow depth of field, but some of them have a little too much headroom.

I like how you got the background blurred while everything important is in focus (from what I can tell at least). Which lens were you using?
