GESO: The Hobo and the Tramp

2006-07-15 Thread Jens Bladt
... well, actually not much of a gallery - just two images.
The "event" caught me by surprise - I didn't have time to set the camera
right.
What setting  (AF setting) would you guys use to be preparet - Auto Select
AF point and a fast speed (Tv) - let's say 1/500-1/250 sec. ?
Or what?

I initially thought the man was menacing the woman,
but looking more closely he seems to have a kind of patience or even an odd
form of chivalry.

The surrounding people don't quite work for me, in the first photo.
I dislike intensely the patronising looks on the faces of the couple
top-left.
Maybe that's part of your point in the image -
but I can't look at that smug little bald guy without wanting to thump him.
This being sadly impossible, I would crop him.


I like the surrounding people much more in your second image -
the worried little girl, and a disembodied pair of legs...
But I'm afraid, for me, the ice cream eater in silly blue hat would have to
go -
similar reasons!

I think I would be much more concerned not to have that glass of lager
thrown over me - or worse.
You've got more courage than me, pulling out a camera in those
circumstances.

Jim
I certainly do see you points about the surroundingst.
As for currage - I've learned that I if I don't take pictures, when "Shit
Happens" (I watched Forrest Gump yesterday...), I will regeret it.
I managed to take six shots - one more insharp than the other, thoug ;-).

Eventually I did a few test shots using Auto Selection of AF-Points using
that same lens - the 77mm:

That didn't work out too bad.
