Description
I met this interesting man today while testing my new 50/1.4G Nikkor lens by the Kemijoki river in Kemi, Finland.We spent a long time discussing music and other stuff.
There were a lot of mosquitos around. You can even spot some on his clothing.
I felt that in a way he was a kindred spirit.
I'd say a F U L L V I E W is a must for this one!
Equipment used:

Excellent shot. This is one of those shots that I think would look amazing HDR.

Wonderful shot! It has this slight surreal look to it, and all the details are so sharp!

Thank you. I wish our ordinary daily life was a bit more surreal anyway.

Upea kohde. Tämmöset tyypit on aina yksinkertasesti parhaita malleja 
Jälkikästittely on vaan tehnyt taustasta ehkä vähän turhankin hektisen, kun tietää kuin kermaista jälkee 50mm @ 1.4 luonnostaan tekee.
Ei ole koskaan epäilystä että onko tarkennus etsimestä katottuna varmasti, kohillaan kun se on joko sumee tai ei

Totta toriset.
Tausta on tosiaan hieman levoton. Se oli alunperin pehmeämpi, mutta kuvaa veivatessani jotenkin miellyin tuohon tekstuuriin. No, makuasia.
Täytyy heittää jotain 'luomu50/1.4:sta' kehiin myös!
Kiitos kommenteistasi. Niitä on aina ilo lukea.

Itsehän olisin luultavasti kiivennyt puuhun, jos tuo olisi tullut vastaan

A very interesting portrait, really. These streetportraits are almost always more intresting then studio model stuff. This could be posted under "photojournalism" even
either way, great shot and great investment. 50mm is the way to go when shooting portraits

Thank you so much. No cropping. This is 100%. The sharpness was a bit of a surprise for me too. I enhanced a bit in post processing for sure but nothing major.
Real life beats studio all the time..
I think this will be my favourite lens from now on!

that's interesting. Should I had done this portrait with my canon 1.8f and at that aperture, I'm sure that if his nose was sharp, his ears would've been part of the bukeh 
and yes, use it well

Yeah, you don't wanna mess with him!

A perfect symbiosis of a nice character and a great lens.
