This is a candid shot I took at Rivercenter Mall on the riverwalk yesterday, so I have no idea who it is. One of my favorite things to do is walk around in downtown San Antonio, unnoticed, and just search out interesting faces. Sometimes I ask them if I can take their picture, but sometimes, I'm far away and just use my mega zoom lens and just take the picture unnoticed. I like it better that way because once someone knows they are being photographed, they don't look the same. . .they get all posed and awkward looking.
I just thought he looked very interesting. He was so intense, but had piercing eyes. He was sitting in front of a very dark area, so all I had to do was run a draganazer action over it and it took care of finishing off the already dark background.
Wow Sandy, what a candid specialist you are. You have produced so many outstanding candid shots in the time that I've known you, and they just keep getting better. This one is one of your finest. Excellent editing. It almost looks like you had studio lights on him, in the way you captured the light on his face. Very very nice!
Are you seriously saying that this is not set up and done with lights and all?? Oh my!! What a splendiferous photograph! The expression, the lighting, the pose... it is all perfect!!! YAYYYYYYY!! You go!
Really good candid shot, Sandy. The touch of draganizer makes a great finish. Can sometimes be very helpful - not taking anything away from you though!
Wow Sandy, this is a great candid shot, and you did an amazing job enhancing it with your PP skills! He is an intriguing looking guy with those piercings, tattoo, and his focused intensity. I really want to get braver about going out and shooting candids, and you're a real inspiration!
This is really intense, and so good Sandy, and just your cup of tea, re candid portraits.....
This is really cool..... SandyP Gee, I love to know what a dragoniser is, and where one finds it.....
I am so out of touch with some processing, thats for sure.....
