This man stood out from all the people sitting in a small square in the city of Bogota (Colombia). His costume caused a storm of emotion in me. I saw the extraordinary fortune of a man who at that age remained a prankish boy! Bravo!

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Colombia in Bogotá. I often go to work abroad and always take my camera with me on the journey. I was walking around and I saw this grandfather sitting near the fence. He looked around and just sat. Having waited a little bit aside I caught this look when he turning his head to me.At first I thought that he had a lot of badges on his clothes. And then I noticed that it's buttons))

Time

I think it was in the afternoon. The sun in Bogotá is always bright. But I was lucky that my hero was sitting in the shade

Lighting

Normal day light

Equipment

I use Nikon D7000 and 80-200 2,8 nikon lens

Inspiration

Most of all I like to take photos of people so that there is a deep thought in they eyes. Portraits -that what I love.

Editing

I always do post processing. Correct color and exposure.

In my camera bag

Usually I carry 3 lenses with me. Wide angle 12-24, telephoto 80-200 and 50 mm. But all of them are bright 2.8

Feedback

I improved my skills in reaction for many years. Always looking for a shot, if I go with the camera. And the goal is a quick reaction. A just a moment and there are no frame will be. Therefore, I never turn off the camera and is always ready to shoot
