Beautiful capture. Did you blur the background a little more with photoshop? or is that all done with DOF opps I mean BOF? ;)

Thank you!

It's all done in camera @ f2 and as little distance between the camera and subject as possible. Focal length was 85mm. The only thing that I did in post was change the exposure a little. Thanks again!

It is what it is.

Not sure how it got f1, lol. I used an 85mm f2 Ai which is a non-cpu lens and the exif should have said 0 for aperture. Used Topaz Adjust in PS to play with the exposure. HTH.

It is what it is.

Focal length was 0 too. I suspect this was shot with a pinhole. ;) Mine says the max aperture is 0 too. Maybe this was taken with a pre-CPU lens or something. Old manual focus lens?

Barry did say it was a non-CPU lens , That makes EXIF data report wacky things. Not sure why Matthew made a big deal out of it without some meaningful comment. Barry and SN knew and explained.

I'm sure this is why.

I didn't shoot with a pinhole camera, but I did use the same method for metering...lol.

Yes, an old 85mm f2 Ai....and its a beauty too. Nikon has been making good glass for a long time! :P

It is what it is.
