Perseverance (From All), Making In-roads.

My poor wife was under the delusion that I would leave her alone once “Joe Black” came into the equation. Unfortunately, he does not cut it for skin tones, animation nor wardrobe, so Meg has become my reluctant model (again).

EM5 mk1 (semi-functional*), 45mm f4 with the K&F 1/8 Black Mist. Single 42” shoot through upper left, silver reflector under the chin and the tiniest bit of blue pushed into the black background with the brush tool and white balance. The slight ripple in the background is from the cheap black/white collapsible letting some back light through.

On the plus side, she is liking a few of the images, so I must be getting something right.

*My studio camera for tooling around is an old EM5 that cannot shoot above 1/500th shutter speed, which for studio work is ideal. For serious stuff, the Pen F is my choice.
