Shoot a stranger - DPChallenge Forums

I had an assignment for my study to make a portrait of a stranger.
Took me 2 months to finally get out and do it.

This is Mr. v. S., 69 years old. He likes to sit on the bench in the city with his friends (one of his friends is 92 years old and sits there 3 times a week). They look at the traffic, talk some gossip and watch everything that comes and goes. A nice guy.

Took 3 photos. Was shaking all over. Didn't even check the settings.

How did I do? I think it's horrible to shoot a stranger. Gives me the shivers...

Usually I don't throw single photos in the forums, but this was a first- and a onetimer..

Very nice shot. And I can see that you must be as timid as I am about shooting strangers. As it took you 2 months to do it if I understand your notes correctly. Its very well done and nicely processed.

From the thread title, my first thought was "hate" outtake ;)
