Beautiful and touchingly intimate really, lifelong gestures and expressions... I do like the choice for monochrome very much, no distraction from the essence. Great picture Eelco!

Great capture, thnaks for sharing in my challenge.

Lovely!!!

exactly what I am looking for.....an image that asks and or reminds us of a time /moment in life...simple and something that we relate to, rather than the contrived and over worked images so often presented.

Congratulations Eelco on your challenge award, A picture worth a thousand words, well done

this is such an every day situation...we all have seen and taken part....some of us are of their age and for some that has yet to come...many stories are in this image

The old market vendor contemplates his life between the remains of a days work.

The world around you reflects in every tiny dewdrop...

Closed by an old cloth, this house was abandoned in such a melancholic manner... makes you wonder.

This wooden spiral staircase was build in Amsterdam in the 16th century.

This spider sat on the door of my white van, two shots were enough! She is so cute...

Behind The Lens

Location

Last year I took some photos of this old market vendor at an outdoor market In Malveira ( Portugal ) These photos where such a succes that I decided to go back this year to see if I could find him for another try. He was at exactly the same place, this time with his wife!

Time

It was late in the morning, about 11.30. I knew the light would be best at this time of day.

Lighting

The natural light was wonderful just like the year before, the late morning sun created deep and dark shadows with wonderful highlights.

Equipment

I wanted to capture this old couple without disturbing the moment. I liked the loving moment of the wife helping her man who was probably suffering from dementia with his work, I took about 20 quick photo's without them noticing me, obviously without any extra equipment...

Inspiration

Last year I took some photos of this old market vendor and it was such a succes that I decided to go back this year. I was so happy to find him again at exactly the same spot, this time with his wife! I got the impression he was suffering from dementia... He was still "running the business" allthough his wife was supporting him with a lot of patience. I was hiding behind a pile of potatoes, not to spoil the spontanious moment. The sun casted deep and dark shadows over them with beautiful highlights, wich added wonderfully to the drama of the scene. The tent cloth behind the couple was a great support as a background with lovely textures and fading shadows.

Editing

Originally this was taken as a color photo but I decided to edit this one as a black and white photo just like the ones I shot the year before... I edited in Lightroom and tuned many details and light intensities. I also cropped the photo from a much larger original because I had decided to take the photo "from the hip" without seeing what I was doing.

In my camera bag

I don't have any equipment in my bag (yet) I am a beginning photographer and I am learning to use a camera, to look for the good light, composition and point of view. One day when I know how to use and set the camera well enough, I will start to think about a bag filled with technical things instead of the need to understand how it works first...

Feedback

If you want to take a candid photo you have to be creative... look for a place to hide behind or when there is nowhere to hide; take it "from the hip" while you look the other side, not to attrack the attention of your subject. I was hiding behind a pile of potatoes this time. I always feel a little uncomfortable photographing people I don't know, so I try to take candid photos to avoid the eye contact. Because you can't plan the framing, you always have to crop a blind shot, that's why you have to shoot a wider area then the result you want to achieve. The settings of your camera can be done by choosing another subject at the same distance and the same light intensity, nearby the subject you eventually want to shoot, if you're shooting from the hip ... Crop and edit the photo in different ways, so you can choose the best one the next day when you can have a fresh look at them!
