Outlaw Grandpa

curiosa,piacevole ed interessante,complimenti !

Grazie, sembra proprio come te..! :)

Yesterday I made the discovery my right eye, in fact the eye I'm doing everything with, is seeing subjects at least 30% brighter, or 30% less "saturated..!" Yes, I was watching a "bright" pink rose in the distance and just decided to watch it only with the left eye, I don't know why, but then the rose seemed to be clearly saturated pink..! Did repeat it a few times..!

By calling Irene, she indeed could confess the fact the rose being normal saturated pink and not "overexposed." Yes, it was in bright sunlight. The same with the red parasol, being covered with transparant white plastic. My left eye, only generally using it for dept and close being sharp for 70%, is watching the colors normal, that's at least 30% more saturated than the eye I'm doing everything with, also working behind this pc screen.

Haha, that does mean most (!) of the images in the portfolio are much too vivid, contrasted and/or saturated. I think of at least switching the camera's vivid mode..! Yes, indeed, Irene did watch the above shot before posting..! :)

Pierre, for the future: please ring a bell if needed..! Thanks..! ;)

I hope your eye is all right.  

This is street portrait of this wild old man is certainly more than all right.  It is splendid.  Everything works. 

It's OK, I have to get used of needing my different eye as well, just for posting. Yes, I did follow this great man untill he did stop walking with his motorbike and started looking around, while seeming not totally sure of me. :)

The leather outfit makes it look great! Well lit also!

Thanks for your comment on my picture Olaf!

Best regards!

There's a lot of character in that face.  Yes, maybe he's a Grandpa, but he will always be young at heart...  Excellent shot... Mike

Well done.  Lots of character!

Excellent color :)!

the colors here are very true to life, Olaf, and so is Grandpa!!! ;-} dp

Oh Boy! At least you can always turn everything into BW. I find myself bowing more and more to BW photography. Probably, it indicates similar vision problems, who khows! And this candid looks just great on my monitor -  colourwise and ... compositionwise and ...storytellingwise...

Good portrait Olaf, in the contrast and the texture. A nice personage. He seems to be rescued of the Second War.
 Regards

Anicely seen and executed portrait. Lovely brownish colors!  Cheers!

After looking at your portfolio, and enjoying it very much,  the thought comes to me, 'what if he had only a 100 mm lens (and had to get closer to his subjects)?'  

If I am not mistaken, each one of them is taken with 300mm lens and we do see mostly the face, sometimes a little shoulder and chest, and not much else.  Just a thought.

Ahh!  I found the rest of your portfolio and see that you do use other lenses.  I guess in this one, I felt the camera was a  bit close in on some of the subjects, but on the whole, a very lovely collection of portraits.  Thank you.
