Excellent capture! What a character!
-
+1, yes definitely. Even better viewed large.
Which city was the image taken Armando?

A very nice shot. When you are doing street photography, do you shoot from the hip or do you look through the viewfinder? The angle of the shot would seem to indicate it was taken from the hip. If so, with a non-autofocus lens, it is doubly amazing it came out so well.

Arthur, Hugh, Akira, thanks for commenting
This was shot in Guadalajara Mexico
Yes shot from the hip, sometimes I'll bring the camera to my eye
I set the camera in manual, 1/250 F/8, focus at 3m or so, this gives a very large Dof, fom about 2m to infinite, it's a lot easier to set on a lens with focus and dof scale, ISO is in automatic
The original is tilted, after straightening the corners were filled in Ps
Shot quite a few and I only liked this image, other times I get zero images, but it's fun

you nailed it, couldn´t be better throught the viewfinder
BW conversion works well

Yes, agree!

Gangster street shooting style, Very nicely done ;)

The low angle, shooting from the hip, works really well in this shot. A low angle or sometimes intentionally tilting the camera can add a dynamic tension that otherwise would be missing. I like how the mannequins seem to be spying on him from the shadows. Add in his attitude and some excellent B&W processing, and this becomes a really unique and cool street shot. Great stuff!

Thanks for all the comments

Was the subject aware that you were taking his picture - i.e. were you operating in "stealth" mode?

Hugh, I don't know , I do not think so , if he was he ignored me, neither of us stopped or looked at each other

Character captured in front of "quinto poder". Mannequins add yet another layer. Love the body language.

Paco, thank you for the comment. I didn't realize that "Quinto Poder" was the Spanish title for the movie "The Fifth Estate" which should make the image even more interesting!

Rick has already completely said what Mongo's thoughts are about this image. Very well done Mr Morales !
-
Gracias Paco
Thank you Mr. Mongo
-
Awesome attitude on the gentleman, and perfect timing!

Peter thanks for commenting
Timing is much simpler with the gangster technique (as called by Eric), the camera is pointed in the general direction of what I´m looking at and I just press the shooter when something interesting happens
