Staring Into The Sun

Have a lovely weekend anyone. This is the best, on-the-fly, exposed image that I’ve ever done. Shot entirely in Manual Mode.

It’s been a while since I showed off a candid shot. Aside from animal photography, photos of normal people is the other form of photography that I love. This man was outside Chula Vista’s visitor centre and was in a sorry shape. Some of the poverty in the US is unreal.

I talked about Max earlier this week and what a pleasure it was to meet him. I’ve since been in contact via email and he says he’s extremely pleased with the photos – which is great to here. He’s a very dignified man and I hope he continues doing what he loves. I like the tonal range in this photo and in particular, how the violin looks.

You never know what someone is going to be like until you talk to them. This gentle man was sitting near The National Gallery, in a wheelchair, and I took a few pictures of him when he was on his tea-break. We got talking and he played some songs for us. This shot I’m extremely proud of. He’s caught up in the moment and  has so much character in his face. I love how he’s looking right into the camera

I sent him this photo. I hope Max likes it.
