Default How is it so sharp...

not my and dont know who artist is?



Film?
Digital?
mad CS3 skills?

I see the photog shot with one main pointed at a wall and fill reflecting back
look at her eyes

there is no Exif info with the photo

looks like it was shot with f3.5 to f4.0 some DOF black bra is in focus, hair is mostly infocus
f2.8 or less would not have bra, body hair and hair on head in focus

only one word can describe...... Stunning

Medium format. Possibly some editing.

I would think a 1ds or similar high-res digital with a great prime 80-100mm should be able to produce this kind of detail in a studio. If the background in sufficiently far away a smaller aperture could be used (5.6 maybe) which is a sweet spot for many lenses to get crisp detail.

Not that I doubt you in any way what-so-ever, but have you actually seen that kind of detail from a 1ds or similar? I only ask, because I haven't, and I'm mightly impressed.

Does anyone know who took the picture. I'm a geek rather than a photographer, and would really like to know what kind of hardware was involved.

MF film, or MF digital? (I assume film, but want to be sure.)

More than just a large sensor or negative/transparencey, we're also seeing the benefits of superior optics. Would you mind supplying all the details?
