Sabrina at the seven-year lakes (Patreon)

This was my first and only shot with Sabrina probably seven years ago.

We’d talked online but never met before. I essentially picked her up at a station, drove for half an hour to this location neither of us knew, and wandered around until sunset. And we created some excellent images.

The black and white images were shot with my first “funny lens,” a Jena Biotar ƒ2.2.

Looking closely at the bokeh, you can see something “interesting” going on.

I think it lends a certain age to the images; they get a vintage feel that I’m fond of.

I don’t use the Biotar anymore; I’ve since upgraded to a couple of Lomo Petzval lenses and a Canon dream lens ƒ0.95 50mm.
