Most of my photography the last couple of years has been rural and landscape. When I first became interested in photography, back in the early 80s, I enjoyed people photography more. But after a break from shooting for art's sake for many years, I just felt more comfortable alone in the country where I live.
I'm trying to change that some, so for the last couple of weeks, I have concentrated on what I call "street portraiture." It's not quite street photography and not quite formal portraiture. These were shot in available light at local events. I worked hand-held, using my Nikon D810 and a Tamron SP 24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD or a Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD. All processing has been done in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CC (2015), including the use of the Nik Collection.
Larry was captured at the local Memorial Day ceremony at 200mm, f/3.2, 1/250s, ISO 100.
Barbara, a local equestrian, was captured at her ranch. I would have loved to get her eyes open, but that's a rarity because she seems to always be laughing like this. Shot at 58mm, f/7.1, 1/2000s, ISO 800.
Dee was just leaving the big car show here in Quincy, CA, in his '31 Ford and stopped to talk with me while I was cruising the grounds on my Segway. This was at 70mm, f/3.5, 1/160s, ISO 100.
Because I am always trying to do better, I appreciate your C&C.
Thanks,
Jim
