This created by Peter Saville reminded me of this (wrong song for cover art…still…) which is where I stole the title from.

No,no. Not with the girl in the shot. With the camera and lens I used to take the shot. Sure it’s nothing super special but the picture has a quality that all my other camera’s don’t have. A soft yet sharp image. A bokeh that I’ve not seen another lens produce. Finally after a LONG time of taking pictures for the sake of taking pictures I may have a real reason to take them again.
Flickr response

It’s interesting to see how people respond to different photo’s. More often than not (80% of the time?) I find people liking shots I’ve taken that I think are ok but nothing out of this world. This particular shot appeals to me for a number of reasons and was ignored on flickr ![]()
The tones in the shot are hard to achieve in B+W film unless the exposure and circumstances are spot on. The picture was taken using the Contax 645 with the Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2 lens with a special adapter which makes the background just vanish into a smooth blur. I like this photo a great deal and it was interesting to see who fav’d it. Expect more in this series and follow up with a bit of colour too.
