Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken on Argyll Street, in Glasgow, Scotland

Time

As far as I can remember, it was mid morning, on quite a drearie day, whilst wandering the streets of Glasgow looking for indpiration

Lighting

Just the usual overcast Scots cloudy daylight, nothing special about the lighting on this occasion.

Equipment

A Fuji X-pro1 with kit 18-55mm lens.... (I think), no flash

Inspiration

This is a portrait of a Big Issue seller in Glasgow, who had the most interesting face I came across all day. It was taken with his permission and yes.... I did buy a copy.

Editing

It's obviously converted to B&W, as he is wearing a distracting Big Issue seller's bib, which was a dirty orange/red, with the pp work mostly in Lightroom, where I spend most of my life, but I did remove a distracting logo from his hat and some background detail in Photoshop and some contrast work using Topaz detail as I recall, courtesy of a Glyn Dewis tutorial from the University of YouTube.....Highly recommended. If you don't follow him, you probably should.

In my camera bag

I now use Pentax, so equipment is optional

Feedback

Don't be afraid to ask someone if they mind being photographed and wear trainers so you can out run those that do mind.
