August Assignment Portraits of Strangers

[F, Calla & Luca]

We are going to be seeing and critiquing oodles of doodles in the Calendar Discussion. So here's some- thing different, which may result in fewer responses, not a bad thing considering we have so many ongoing discussions and now the calendar. Camilla suggested it and I like the idea. Let's go out and take some portraits of people out and about. Richard Crowe always does a great job of this.

I wasn't planning on taking candids today and only had my 85mm prime when I found I could not resist snapping these photos.  Not the best lens for zooming in and hence I took a lot of waist up shots. Focus soft in too many of these--hard to do quickly while also framing a street shot.  What a great assignment for learning.

I agree with F, these are wonderful DJ.  (After several attempts since your posted these I was finally able to view them.  Thank you Verizon for the great internet service I get from you!   : (((      )

[DJ & Chance]

Thanks, Anne.  Fun to shoot even though I wished a zoom had been on my camera.

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

A zoom certainly gives more freedom.
