Description Does this really need a description?
The title says it pretty much all if you look closely, doesn't it?
If you don't see what I mean... look at it for another 10 seconds... you should see it

Saw this man, saw the couple behind him... luckily I had my camera with me... took the lens cap off, walked back 2 steps and click

I'll upload a very similar shot in a month or two, need to develop + scan the negative roll I shot it on first... I hope the focus is a bit better on that one

Great, tells so much. I just suggested it as a DD. Just had to do it, its so great.
Outstanding picture.

What kind of lens did you us?
70-200mm f2.8 Canon?

Ockie In reply to nickiweber [2008-06-23 00:00:14 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!
70-200 2.8 from Sigma, pretty decent quality for much less than the Canon version...

Are the couple a memory of the old man's past?
Are they a vision of an unfulfilled dream?
Has he just turned from them, trying to forget, but failing?


I see so many things in this photo. It's amazing.

I love the concept, Eduard.

Young love, blurred out behind the old man, who is sitting alone. Perhaps his wife has died?
Seems like he could be remembering himself and his wife when they were young...

Ockie In reply to thingsarelookingup [2008-03-25 18:32:39 +0000 UTC]

actually, that might be close to the truth, I saw this man again a couple of weeks ago (a year after I took the photo) and he was (again) alone at the same place...

Sharpness and quality aren't as good on full size as it looks like on here, but on my 50x75cm print in my room is still quite sharp .
