“So Funny” — cinematic monochrome shot of closely cropped faces
I was in Greenwich Park, at the top by The Royal Observatory, when I saw this very happy couple, and I managed to catch them unawares with a longish lens that was wide open. Although the bokeh doesn’t show too well, because I’ve processed this image for maximum skin effect, it was decidedly striking in the original image. I might attempt to redo it, if I think I can still get the image as effectively striking.
Taken with a Pentax K10D, old and trusty 135mm SMC lens, and a x2 teleconverter, which although not technically outstanding I seem to have fallen in love with. Both exposure and focus were completely manual, which in theses days of complete automation is decidely tricky once you’re out of practice.
