been thinking about aware vs unaware subjects. this is the only photo i have and like where the subject was not made aware ...

taken with an olympus xa on ilford delta 100. scanned with a v600.

sharing because it's on my mind, but welcoming of critique.

Olympus XA? Very nice, although IMO this image can do with a bit more contrast (too grey) and (porch) details.
Success with your idea "aware vs unaware subjects"

thanks! yup, most of my shots are with an xa because it fits in my front pocket.

Good picture of the woman dozing on the front porch! Yeah, the little Oly XA-such a neat camera design!

Any post after the scan?

 

[denada]

thanks, Derrel.

yes, Gary. minor tweak to levels, reduced highlights, and crop to pick my edges though it's near full frame. then unsharp masks as i went down to 1280px.

Gotta ask about "denada". Is "denada" being used as a nickname, name or the Spanish meaning?

 

[denada]

spanish. it's my favorite expression outside of american english.

 

[Gary A.]

LOL ... I use it everyday.

Nicely done. I wonder what it was like in color.
