[Tucson T4R]

Not the best background but I like how this one turned out. It captured my friend to the tee. :elkgrin:

A few of my favorites I have taken while riding through Central America:

Grumpy old beger on the street


Lupe, who we stayed with for a few nights on a cattle ranch in Guanajuato, Mexico






Lupe and his wife making breakfast our last morning


This little girl came running up to sell some gum, and before she could realize what was happening I got this shot...I bought gum from her for it though!


The daughter of a guy we stayed with in Mexico

This is a scan of a slide I took 36 years ago, but I still think it is a good photo considering it was candid, using only ambient light and a really cheap Russian 35mm SLR. Subject was a pig farmer in rural County Antrim, Northern Ireland.

 

[Every Miles A Memory]

Love that silhouette with the blue background

My Prego Niece. :sombrero:

Or the B&W version

A second pose

[Every Miles A Memory]

I think I like the 2nd pose better. It gives the feeling that she's cradling her new child

 

[Tucson T4R]

I agree. I prefer that one too.

Far too many beautiful people in this thread, so I thought I'd post a self-portrait... :bike_rider:

28mm, f/4, 1/1250th sec, 0 EV, ISO100, 0.3ND filter, Portrait mode, IS on. Blind point and shoot with a DSLR at its best (or most fortuitous)!
View attachment 87231

This was taken at one of Colombia's mud volcanoes outside Santa Marta in the north-east. Another photo from the same session:
135mm, f/5.6, 1/500th sec, 0 EV, ISO100, no filter, Manual mode, IS off
View attachment 87232
I'd have preferred just a touch more detail in the faces, but I took it in JPEG mode and am stuck with it forever now... I do love the rendering of the mud, though.

I took this photo of my best friend few years ago. we were camping near the river and in the morning he was thinking about some important things staring into the coffee

I don't take portraits very often, but here are a few wedding related...
