Buen retrato, muy bien la suavidad de las sombras y la composicion. Un saludo 6/6

Hola Miguel.

 

Gracias por su observacion buena.

 

Respeto, Nick.

Hello Nick, another pub shot? Is FRCS Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons? (Does he do knees?). It's a really good portrait.

Hello Pete, it is indeed another pub shot - you've got to get them relaxed before you can point your camera at them!

 

Have you been to the "Head of the River"? Its on the Thames by Folly Bridge off St Aldates - they keep a very good pint!

 

Jon is a surgeon, and indeed a Fellow of The Royal College of Surgeons (F.R.C.S.), but I'm afraid he's not an Orthopaedic Surgeon, he's a Urologist!

 

Regards, Nick.

Very warm and happy feeling to this shot and very well set.

Plus good contrast from the backgroud.

 

Hi Nick. I like how You get at him,looking at his alert face with working space arround him. A man to be trusted. greetings

Thanks Richard and Alix. I thought that this was quite a true representation of the subject. Not nessessarily very flattering, but certainly true!

 

Kind regards, Nick.

The composition works well and he looks relaxed and natural which is impressive considering he has a large camera pointed up at him.

Just a thought, what was he looking at and did he know you were taking the photo?

Thanks Colin. One can get some great results with the Hasselblad, but you are quite right, it is a bulky, intimidating beast, especially with an 80mm lens (~50mm equvalent in 35mm format), as one has to be quite close for the subject to fill the frame like this.

 

Pete, I cannot rightly remember what he was looking at, I was too busy fiddling with focusing knobs etc, he just struck this pose naturally, and I pressed the shutter release!, clearly something attractive and interresting caught his eye!

 

Regards, Nick.
