Robert M Poole Posted August 15, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I came across this old lady sitting in a street in the Old Quarter of Skiathos. I took a picture of her and she waved her fist and me and threatened to hit me with her stick... I was reassured she was joking around. She then told me that she wanted a copy for her groom. She was lit here by a passing noted and gesturing angrily after it. www.robertpoolephotography.com 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert M Poole Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share #11 Posted August 16, 2017 Wonderful. I must begin to venture out after the sun sets.I set the camera to iso 160 to avoid too much noise, shoot wide open then underexpose by a couple of stops to keep the shutter speed up. Having a strong source of light helps obviously (the headlight of the scooter). I got the advice from a forum member and it's been really useful. www.robertpoolephotography.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Poole Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share #12 Posted August 16, 2017 She sounds like an interesting character, and I love the lighting too!Very interesting! I had to communicate through a translator but I bet she's got done stories to tell and a good sense of humour. www.robertpoolephotography.com 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert M Poole Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share #20 Posted September 26, 2017 Wonderful capture, story and light. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Thanks Rori! Your trick of underexposing on the M9 has made a massive difference to how I shoot at night! The passing scooter was a happy accident too! I posted this picture on Twitter and someone on there knows her and is going to print a copy and give it to her, I hope she likes it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
