Old Afghani man
« on: July 23, 2017, 17:01:51 »
This street portrait was taken a few weeks ago when we were at a local park with two of our grandchildren.
As we were leaving, I noticed an elderly man dressed in what to me at least appeared to be native Afghani garb. He spoke no English, but when I pointed to my camera and then to him, he smiled and nodded, and I got this shot.
motorized Nikon FG
Makinon 28~80 3.5 AIS manual focus
Fuji Velvia 100 ISO colour slide
3.5 @ 1/60th
I shoot with film. That's film. F...i...l...m. You remember film. It was in all the papers.
