'Friendship'

Visiting Turks on holiday express hilarity in a Ukrainian fast food

restaurant as they celebrate in an infectious way. Your ratings,

critiques and observations are invited and most welcome. If you

rate harshly, very critically or with to make a remark, please

submit a helpful and constructive comment; please share your

photographic knowledge to help improve my photography.

Thanks! Enjoy! john

A moment of joy and fun capturing their emotion and feelings for each other.  Very nice candid.  Would prefer the two finger V in the foreground not being there but in these situations one only has that instant to make the image and sometimes have to accept what else is there. Enjoyed viewing!

Thanks for the compliment(s).

I took a series of three and despite what you see as a 'drawback' I like this one the best though the expression (rear) is evident in all of them, but in this one it is at its peak, even though a little obscured -- but obscureness in 'street' can be a virtue sometimes (not always).  It sometimes can help to have the viewer 'work' to see and thereby engage the viewer with the photo a little bit rather than give a completely straightforward exposition.  Consider the man's hand in front of his eye for instance, which some may consider a 'fault' but which I think may add, not detract, from the composition (your choice).

Your view may vary, but here for me the maximum display of joyful hilarity won over all.

You're welcome here anytime.

ISO 3200

With a lightweight, stripped Nikon D3200, capable of making workable captures also at ISO 6400 which is very dim light (not even counting HI and H2).

Not bad for a camera selling refurbished with lens for less than $600.  This lens was not the 'kit' lens that came with it, but a different 'kit' tele which cost $115 refurbished.  Who said you have to spend a fortune to get good captures (however, I swear by best equipment which I also use).
