The many faces of Charles · 09:22 PM

Transferred hard drives, so I had to go through an archive of my holiday shots in the UK awhile back. Photos taken at Dartmooor. Canon EOS 1D Mark II N EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM + Extender EF 1.4x II.

).

Excellent portraits! It was succeeded to pass character of this man. Me it seems to he tensely what that thinks about, even when smiles. He "on the alert. "( Do not I know English, say to me please what it Dartmooor?)

Super V vip as the subject. Nice portait and great lens as the OOF is great too.

Dartmoor is a national park in the south west part of the UK. Took the images of Prince Charles at a small town where I was having lunch. He happened to pass through for an official visit and I happened to be there and managed to grab these shots.

That is a very good close up shot of Charles!

How close were you?

Andi Lo · 02-23-2009, 01:45 AM

Thanks for bringing me up to date on him. I forgot that he's still around. It's all Obama these days

really nice expressions you captured there =) How does one go about capturing photos of celebrities? Do you just have to know the right people?

Shot from across the street. My wife actually got to shake his hand, which was a plus.
All the shots are straight from the camera and uncropped.

Looks to me like that's the winning post of the 500,000th post SD card giveaway! But don't shoot me if I'm reading it wrong and you didn't win.

Great photos!

I hadn't seen him in the news in a long time, he looks like he has aged a lot in the last few years

Those are really nice Denis. I especially like the third one.

gawan · 02-23-2009, 12:56 PM

This is fantastic series, also the famous face makes it specially interesting! Thanks for sharing!

Damn Brit · 02-23-2009, 01:43 PM

Wow Denis, getting that close to HRH and obtaining some excellent captures. Well done, great studies.

AlphaGAK20D · 02-23-2009, 01:56 PM

Wonderfully rich captures - very impressive and the quality is superb. Too bad not taken with a Pentax - quality would've gone up 10x...

(kidding, as so many have noted in other threads around PF, it all starts with the photographer and you indeed are talented!)
