Congrats on all the winners of this contests! This one is my favorite, since it are the best portrait shots put together. Thanks to @juliank for that hard work.
@axeman how did you manage to make this sick bokeh? Is it a wide aperture lens from the 40's ? is it post-processing? I am super curious about that, since I have searched to get similar results like that shot.
![Sick](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://d2oxgsrq0kv5ku.cloudfront.net/image?url=http://transformed-source.bescouted.com.s3.amazonaws.com/user-photo/source/KeQP8fnVjC1VxrMOQ2cz8MaorvcLUhretzujuIHUc13lXRpMuiwIDZksWNSc0Xzf.jpg?fit=clip&w=1920&h=1080)
Feels weird to be in the same row of winners amongst that crazy shot with you. Great job!
t.
You can get similar results from free-lensing as all.
Could you elaborate on that? What is it that you mean =)
I would love to know more ways to create a sick bokeh background. 😍
t.
Sure - you can Google free lens photography or start here....

I just had. Never heard of the term and I have quite some experience with expirimenting with photography! Tnx for providing me with even more to play with!
t.
There's always something to learn. But I wouldn't do this because you can get dirt on your sensor.
Yeah that's true, there probably will be clever tilt-shift adapters to use on my mirrorless camera. Would not want to toy around with getting a dirty sensor indeed!
t.
Especially on mirrorless - given the sensor is right there!
Looks like it was shot ‘wide open’ with a relatively ‘fast’ lens, meaning — likely with an aperture 2.8 or wider. The lens itself doesn’t have to be wide. In fact, a long, fast lens will produce the most delicious bokeh when wide open. For example — an 85mmf1.2L or 135mmf2.0L. Good bokeh is also achievable with shorter focal lengths — you just have to use the widest possible aperture.
Looking again on my laptop rather than iPhone, I do see a bit of a halo around her form, which may very well indicate some sort of post-production, bokeh boost of some kind. So curious!
Well, you could just go to my profile, find this photo and read description.. rather than sit here and keep being curious :D
This is vintage video lens D.O.Industries Navitron 50mm f/0.95 on fully open aperture. Yes, the glass itself creates pretty a lot of halos and aberrations, but this bokeh damn worths it :)
True, that probably would have been the fastest way. Talking about the fastest things. That sure is a fast lens mate! I love old lenses myself! (see my cover photo to see about 30 of the 200 I own) but i have not yet came across a lens that valuable!
t.
The fast and the furious that one is.... :D
black and white - good photos
Old man are always photogenic. And now by by @martinsandersuk is especially.
Thank you kindly @aurumv, I'm pleased you like this one.
The portraits which stands out the most is from
@captainklaus

Thanks for selecting my photo, @juliank, it's so wonderful! Congrats to all the winners, it's a fabulous collection, as always. My favorite today is "Portrait Photography Contest | Bagan Girl", by @tuntunphotodiary, love the serous gaze of this little girl and the colors are amazing!
congratulations
Thanks kindly :))
@axeman the bokeh is just fantastic!
@victorbz followed by@johnvoid
I adore the b&w shot by @caitycat! So gorgeous!
I posted for the first time today and hope I tagged it correctly to enter the contest in the future! Haven't quite figured this whole thing out yet...
Either way, thank you so much for hosting this contest! (:
😊 thank you!!!
Thanks a lot @juliank for picking my entry :)
All of the selected pictures are stunning! I really like the play with shadow and light by @johnvoid's "Elisabeth shadowly portraits series"!
Oh wow! I won! I can't believe it. Thank you so much @juliank for choosing my photo! This is the first time someone recognize my photography. I feel even more motivated now to put out more entries. 😊
Your smiling munchkin is one of my favorites. What a sweet face! Congratulations!!!!
Thank you so much! I'm happy that someone can appreciate my photo. That smiling muchkin is my nephew by the way. 😊 Congratulations for winning too!
Thank you!!!
