Glencoe, Ill.

Thursday night....walking around with my camera.  A young couple were walking their dog and we greeted each other as we passed.  One thing led to another and we ended up talking about photography (since I had  my camera around my neck!).  I asked them if they'd like me to take their picture and they willingly agreed.  (I explained that I was going to shoot "wide open" to blur out the background.)

Nice pose by her.  Perfect light (sundown).  Good location...in front of the train tracks.  Couldn't resist.

I gave them my card and suggested they contact me for copies of the photo, but I haven't heard so far.

(Street photography or People?  I wasn't sure.)

A nice shot that is well posed.  The subject's facial tones seem quite pale.

Thanks, Paul!

Yes...that apparently is "her look."  And with her makeup and eyes, I think it looks quite dramatic.  There is a bit of a color cast to her face, but after all, it was shot with available light at sunset...about 8PM.

The B&W version has the same tonal characteristics, but I thought the color showed off more of her features.  (My camera is setup to provide a RAW color and JPG b&w image and I showed her the b&W preview from the back of the camera after I took the photo.)

I agree...I liked her pose, too.  (one of three clicks of the shutter...tough to choose)
