The couple in "Hippie" camouflage stands out for me again.

Another example of the knockout resolution and clarity the cheap 1.8/50G can deliver.

WOW. keep the coming!

Yes...!!! An extraordinary little lens, cheap, light, good AF with MF possibilities (without searching for some of/on button)... :-) The first lens I bought when it hit the shelves !

Jacques - I like every single of your portrait shots. "Café picture of a typical Parisien" is my fav. I never shot portraits except few family shots, but your photos motivates me to learn and start shooting.

Thanks a lot... :-) You live in a country where you have a lot of portrait possibilities, you should really try, it's all about "taming" the crowd ! :-)

In fact, one can take portraits of passer-by in transportations, like this Turkish lady welcoming me on the Bosphorus...

Or seing them  regularly at some street corner... :-)

Will your friends recognize you if you are ... sans appareil photo?

Ah, so true... :-) It happens but then I'm alway looking around thinking I've forgotten something, my wallet, my phone, whatever ! My friends usually remind me that it's my camera :-)
The trouble about friends or family, is that they expect me to take pictures of birthdays and such, while I'm more interested in the chair or the view of the rooftops by the window ! Anyhow they are not allowed to "chimp" on my camera, nor use it as my settings (AF-on and such) disturb them, and the results will be when I have "developed" the raw files, which, as negatives, can take months... So they give up and take me and my camera just as I am... :-)

Of course it has blended on my children, one daughter has a PhD in Philosophy (Aesthetics), is a photographer and a iconographer (she has to eat), the second daughter is a movie director for short movies (awards) and works a a producer, and the boy is still studying on digital communication and pictures... The whole lot might build up a company one of these days... :-)

Wow, you managed to spoil a whole generation...

*ROTFL*

All the other factors I know so well. Should show more. Currently I do not show anything here but developed RAW ... earlier I did post Camera JPEGs, which are not too bad in my book, but, standards are so high here... but RAW development needs so much time...

LOL... i won't even hint at how many student I did spoil as a teacher... :-) In the same time there is some pleasure being in the wet or dry darkroom and see the "magic" of chemistry (or software) ! :-)

Freezing a moment in time... If even for a fraction of a second is pure magic.

This can be very tricky in my country! Even if you ask for permission, most of the people don't like being photographed.  :-\

I think it has always been tricky everywhere. But some places have always been trickier than others. But it was less tricky in the film only days as there were less cameras. The trick is too to do it enough so that you develop a sixth sense as to how a person will react. (Okay ... I've use trick, tricky and trickier ... that should do it.)

Bap Aree Bap...! :-)
I've seen a Chinese student, in some very up thigh muslims districts in Istanbul, taking pictures of veiled ladies, under their noses, surrounded by suspicious men, and he got away with laughters... :-) It's a matter of feeling as said Gary...!

Some are in flowers, other in birds in flight, some in landscapes... I guess I'm in portraits and in static empty streets... :-)
