What a beautifully observed and touchingly human shot. A very worthy challenge winner so congrats too to eelcovanroden for choosing it. The composition is superb - timing is everything for this candid type of image and this timing is perfect. Well done !!!! Your ability to capture life in black and white is masterful.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken downtown Belgrade, capital of Serbia.

Time

It was about noon, 11:40 to 31 July 2009. I went from one shooting to another, when I saw this moment I made only one shot. Luckily, I had the right lens on the camera so I could quickly react

Lighting

The light was diffused because the scene was in shadow, so there is a lot of detail and halftones, which help in getting the full impression of the photograph.

Equipment

Nikon D200, lens Nikon 80-200 / 2.8

Inspiration

When I saw the old woman, who can hardly moves and passes by the window full of calls for fun, I began to wonder if she has any fun, or life just passes by her, as she passes by the window.

Editing

I converted the photo to black and white in Silver Efex Pro 2 plug in for Photoshop. I added contrast and slightly burned edges.

In my camera bag

Camera: Nikon D7000; Lenses: Nikon 80-200/2.8; Tokina 11-16/2.8; Nikon 60/2.8 macro; Nikon 50/1.4

Feedback

For a good street photography is necessary that photo equipment constantly be ready, and to observe people, events, details around you. It is important that you walk a lot in locations that are of interest to you, to act quickly in a situation, and that you have good communication with the local people. Note: The photo equipment is just a tool
