Strangers

[Riggers]

Thanks to a few beers and plenty of sunshine I plucked up the courage to take my first shots of complete strangers.

Not sure if 2 is in focus, which is a shame as it could have been nice.

Re number one, he was selling dodgy watches and sunglasses and I had to buy an Armani watch for a tenner so I could take his photo. It's all for the cause :) (real Armani too lol)

3 was taken from about 40 feet away at 200mm and then cropped afterwards.

All with the 70-200 @2.8.







Enjoyed myself today :)

I like the last portrait the best

Re: Strangers

I like number 1 a lot. Great use of DOF, really makes the image for me. Great contrasting colours too between the skin and background,

Great work. I would like to try this, but haven't got the courage up yet!

Cheers,

Garry

Re: Strangers

They are all good, 1 and 3 especially for me, backgrounds good, #1 is just a tad tight on the top of his hat but nothing to worry about really, you should be really pleased with them, I certainly would be.

Re: Strangers

Thanks guys. I also noticed a purple glow on the side of the face in 1. That was from the disco lights in the bar. I took most of that off now I think.

Re: Strangers

I rather like these. One and three for me. The tenner was well spent.
