Impromptu Portrait
Posted By: Sailor, 12-14-2008, 03:00 PM

I grabbed this unposed shot of one of the marina's employees in a cart on the seawall this morning. I'm not particularly good at this sort of thing, but I was reasonably pleased with this one (which I'll print and give to him).

Ideally, the lens (DA 16-45) should have been opened up more (AP on f/11) to blur the background and - looking at the post preview - cropped a bit differently (I'm too lazy to go back and do that now). I probably should have goosed the contrast a bit, as well.

Anyway, I enjoyed the laid back, pleasant demeanor of this fellow. These guys work hard keeping the marina worth what we pay for dockage, and I appreciate their efforts.

Hi Jeremy, the shot is very simple and effective. He is really comfortable with you for sure.

Just a suggestion that you might try to lower the camera to his chest level to take the shot and it may be even more charming as a result
