Well seen and captured, Phil. You have done a remarkable job this month shooting street scenes with the 85.

Day 31 - Last day

Since 85 is a portrait lens, I would like to post a portrait in the last day. My wife did not allow me to take a photo of her, so I did it the other way round. My wife was a bit worried when I handed her the camera and after a few seconds locating the shutter button, she fired a shot.

Nice portrait and well composed. Give your wife a pat on the back (or hug) for the good job and helping you with the Oktoberfest.

You’ve had many great parts this year. It was fun to see your part of the world through your eyes.

Great finishing picture, Phil. Good to see members faces.

I have been considering the same type of self portrait as my wife needs a headshot for passport renewal (but who is going overseas anyway). Cheers, its been great seeing all your posts of HK.

Thank you very much. It's a great learning process to use one lens in different situations.

I’m so happy you finished with a portrait of you! I have loved following you this month and getting a glimpse into your every day life. You’ve always been a good forum friend!

A very nice portrait of a distinguished gentleman! Now you know what to buy your wife for Christmas.

Although I really like the 85mm focal length, I have never thought of it as a versatile one. You have demonstrated that it can be. Good work!
