The beautiful

Miss Bertie Page

I shot this with the 40D and lensbaby original, 1/6”, ISO 800….this camera does NOT handle high ISO well at all…(compared to the 5D, anyway)

This is the delightful Miss Bertie Page

    Great work of art Mel… the processing is wonderful making this more like a study in pastels rather than photography. Very nice.

    The awesome effect you achieved with this might not have been possible with the 5D… Renoir would have been jealous of this take. Something makes me want to keep coming back for a look… and for once it`s not the boobs.
    Wonderful work Mel!

    Love the treatment…. it is Miss Bertie Page meets ‘Girl with the Pearl earring’. I think you must like Vermeer Mel !?
