Hi all,

Went to a local BBQ festival yesterday and took some snapshots. I saw this young lady standing in line at one of the booths and was thought I'd try my hand at street portraiture along the lines of Danny Santos. It's clearly not up to his standards, but I thought it wasn't too shabby as a first attempt. She was a much more interesting looking girl than the photo indicates. As the title indicates, she had alabaster skin and coal black hair, along with bright blue eyes. She didn't resist at all when I asked. She actually seemed pleased, if a little embarrassed.

K-x, DAL 50-200mm, Aperture Priority, f/4.5, ISO 800, 1/60 sec.

Up until now, I've been extremely hesitant about just walking up to people and asking them if I can photograph them. Turns out, people are much more willing than I ever would've believed.

Comments, critiques, and cash gifts welcome.

Thanks,

Walt
