great portrait; I like freckles.

 

[bvy]

Nice. Filter?

 

[BrianShaw]

Nice. I only wish that it was in color.

Back in history someone, who I can’t recall his name at the moment, did a portfolio/book on red-heads that featured a lot of freckles too. It was nice work... like yours.

I did use a #47 blue filter. I forgot to add that information.

Sounds like I need to find this person and view their portfolio.

Very Nice Indeed! Not sure if it would look as nice in colour.

One would think a blue or green filter would enhance the freckles and orange would tone them down.

Yes, I immediately thought of the work of Joel Meyerowitz.

My daughter has a lot of freckles as well. I love enhancing them..... my wife hates it!

And two other books came up as recommendations on Amazon as well:

https://www.amazon.com/Seeing-Red-R...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=7C6TKDB6DAB1BETZ86M9

And if the subject interests you, the above three books in total can be had for peanuts! (That's how I've built up the vast majority of my photographic book collection )

Thank you

This exactly what happened.

 

[bvy]

This exactly what happened.

Right. I didn't follow that comment either.

Also, someone suggested that the photo wasn't in color. I disagree.

 

[fotografnunta]

I think in color it looked more dramatic. Nice picture though.

Ok

Your b&w image is striking but I wouldn't mind seeing her in color as well. Softly glowing as with Portra or super-saturated as Ektar or a happy medium in between.
There are so many ways to shoot both b&w and color, no? How about a color Kodalith?

I will give portra and ektar a try next. I'll have to make sure to inform the lab to make the freckles pop. I could also pay extra for the tiff files and do it myself.

I also have some Kodak Portra NC 160. This model has pale skin, maybe I can make her freckles stand still?

I did not even realize how freckeled Calder was until this photograph. Taken with x-ray film...no filter (ortho film)

 

[Brian M Harris]

S - U - P - E - R - B !!!!!

 

[Slixtiesix]

Great portrait!

 

[Vaughn]

Thanks...since I have triplets, there are two more similar images -- Calder was the only one with freckles -- the other two had scratches and dirty faces, though (I called them over from the sandbox, one at a time). They were photographed in open shade, and since the x-film was blue-sensitive, very fast (about ASA 400 or 800). Speed dropped significantly under the redwoods!

Beautiful portrait, I love redheads and more so the ones with freckles.
