Blanchette was 87 when I took this photo. She was visiting her son in Portugal from South Africa. When I saw her at a neighborhood street party I had to get her photo. She was gracious and we had a long conversation afterwards about marching with Nelson Mandela, witnessing the end of Apartheid and how much better things were. She said this would be her last visit, her health issues were compounding. This is the first photo I've ever printed, I had prints made for her to take with her, and she said they would be a good end of life photo for her children.

J’écris un article de blog, et me remémore le tps où #TTArtisan, #7Artisan, #Meike et autre #Viltrox n’existaient pas. Comment se fait-il qu’on ait autant de marques tierces désormais ? Ouverture des spéc ? Licences ? #lenses #photographie

Im Test zeigt das Viltrox 75mm F1.8 Evo bereits bei Offenblende eine sehr gute Schärfe im Bildzentrum. Das Bokeh überzeugt ebenfalls. #Viltrox #Porträtfotografie https://winfuture.de/videos/Hardware/Viltrox-75mm-F1.8-Evo-Die-EVO-Reihe-jetzt-auch-fuer-APS-C-28768.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

Das beste am Viltrox 28mm f4.5: die dicke Fuji XT3 passt mit dem Objektiv in meine Jackentasche. Gerade so. Aber passt.

Das Viltrox 35mm F1.8 II Evo: Gute Schärfe, starke Farbsaum-Korrektur, aber deutliche Vignettierung. Für 429 Euro ein fairer Kompromiss. #Viltrox https://winfuture.de/videos/Hardware/Viltrox-35mm-F1.8-II-Evo-Nicht-ueberragend-aber-dafuer-guenstig-28698.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
