Spanish Lady

Grendel · 30 Sep 2006

I actually took this a couple of years ago in Spain. I loved the expression on this old lady's face! Unfortuantely, she really didn't appreciate having her photo taken, she had such a go at me! :annoyed: You should have heard how this "sweet" old lady could shout! Still, at least I got the shot

Tut tut! Should have asked permission! :nono:

Good shot, good conversion and brilliant framing!

You're right but I feared the moment would have been lost - very difficult to get candid's when the subject knows you've got a camera on them. Thanks for the comments Chris

Right or wrong I have never asked permission yet shooting candids..

As Grendel says the natural look is far better than the cheesy pose.

And I bet she was a stunna in her teens. Probably fought against Franco...

You're not wrong Pete, it was shot with my old Kinoca Minolta Z2 (not the greatest camera in the world!) on max zoom (10x) and hand held. I had to sharpen it a fair bit in Photoshop but you've still rumbled me
