Actually, I'm a "great"-grandmother

Words of this friendly stranger who I sat nearby as I enjoyed a cup of coffee and piece of apple pie after an afternoon of Sunday shooting. At my request, she gladly allowed me to take these shots. Enjoy! C&C always welcome!

    Nice pics, and can certainly see the family resemblance…

    I dunno about all the different sepia/faded/semi-B&W effects, but each to their taste… ne_nau.gif

    …however, there is one point which some folk don't even notice but I find uncomfortable, and that's where the subject seems to be looking over my shoulder rather into the camera…

    …as I look at the picture, I find I keep wanting to turn around to see what they're looking at eek7.gif

    #1 & #3 would have been better (IMNSHO) if she'd been looking into the lens, and if you'd used portrait rather than landscape.

    Good use of differential focus in #1.

    #5 is good, but I would have cropped slightly lower and tighter…

    Thanks for sharing!

    Wil,

    Thanks for the C&C. I'm not a fan of the over the shoulder gaze either, but I was so excited at the opportunity to do some real street photography with random people for the first time that I kind of got excited and lost focus. I'll keep that in mind next time and try to guide the subject's eyes toward the camera.

    Also, I prefer natural pictures as well, but I just got Lightroom, so consider this my experiment haha.
