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.

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
I love it. Congratulations to all the winners.
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!!!
