I warn you, those eyes will drive you to madness and beyond...?

That's at full-open f/1.5? I love the 'nostalghia' of the shot.
I got a Jupiter made in Kiev with a certificate signed from 1967 but it is more broken than I can fix.
Your picture has the spirit I was after.

BTW do you like Tarkovsky?

Thanks for appreciating my photo.

yes, it is full open. Camera in models hand: old Zenit and Helios-44-2 :)

I respect Tarkovsky movies, some of them, but not a fan. I like David Linch and (especially) Lars von Trier.

sorry for bad english...

What lens? Biotar 75/1.5? My for M42.

btw, what Jupiter do you have? I like Jupiter-8, beautiful small lens 50mm f/2. I also have Jupiter-3 50mm f/1.5, but I think this lens overrated...

I have the Jupiter 3. I tried to fix it but could not get it to focus very far. I lost interest.
I like very much the 'air' in your pictures. Very unlike the stuff usually on these forums. Call it soul if you like.

edit: I saw your Instagram feed.  Beautiful stuff.

      Centre Focus on A7R3

      By Pieter · Posted

      I'd use Focus Area: (Expand) Flexible Spot: S instead of Center. Smaller focus area and more control over where to focus. https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1710/v1/en/contents/TP0001653124.html

      Custom white balance for studio flash.

      By vinniemac · Posted

      New Sony user here, trying to get my head around all of the differences from Fuji 😬  I’ve figured out most of the settings, but can’t find any answers on how to do a custom white balance for studio flash. The custom setting option only seems to be based on measuring ambient light. The only workaround I can think of is to set an approximate kelvin value and then shoot a grey card and fix it in post, but I’d much prefer to get it right in camera.    camera is an A7CR TIA Vinnie

      Sony Alpha 7 III - What type of filter? What do you recomme

      By tadwil · Posted

      I am not sure what effect you are trying to achieve regarding the bluish cast of the water.  Do you want to neutralize it or enhance it?  It would be best if you Google polarizer filter for camera and look at the images and videos and see if you can find the desired effect that seem to mirror your situation.  If you can't find the effect you are looking for, it may not be possible to do so with the Polarizer.  I use the polarizer to minimize the shimmering reflections in the water that would look distracting in the image. Neutral density filters are used to reduce the amount of light coming into the camera.  If you want to shoot a small waterfall and you want to create an angel veil effect by reducing the shutter speed to seconds but the light conditions won't allow you to do so, you can use neutral density filters to shoot at very slow shutter speeds. Neutral density and polarizing filters can get very expensive.  If your lenses share a common filter size, that would be great.  If not, get the filters for the largest filter diameter lens and get a set of stepping rings to use with your smaller filter diameter lenses.
