"Cheese" by fstorm68, on Flickr

Taken November last year in Budapest on a Panasonic LX3, cropped SOOC @ ISO800.

Can get away with much higher ISO in B&W rather than colour.

the stranger - thanks for pointing me to George Brassaï. George Brassaï. Very interesting, Hungarian which goes well with the theme of the photo. I see what you mean, it does have some of the look and feel of a Brassaï.

There's something about the way you compose people. The lighting is different somehow. Have you processed the pictures?
