Taking a break from cycling, we stopped at The Ear Inn in NYC - turned out we met some pretty interesting people who didn't mind having their picture taken :thumb All straight from the camera, no flash, no post processing. All C&C welcome :bow (But I am a n00b so go gentle ;-) )

And a couple extra of Mavette :clap


There were pics from later in the evening - but as I got more drunk, the photos got progressively less sharp :scratch :rofl

    I really like the last two. Number 4 is good as well, although the framing is kind of strange. The other photos are either underexposed, overexposed, or in the case with the man and the dog, appear to be soft.

    I should also say that, with what you had, not bad.

    This is a great idea. I have managed a bar for the last 5 years and have never thought about this. There are definitely some real characters that come in there.

    Thanks for the feedback - glad you like the pics of Mavette iloveyou.gif

    I have a couple questions - when you say the framing is strange in pic 4, what did you mean by that? Should I have put his face more to one side perhaps? And when you say: Not bad with what I had... are you referring to my kit? the lighting? the people?

    Actually, a woman named Sarah Stolfa, who tended bar at a dump in Philadelphia, did a book of portraits of her regulars, called, oddly enough, The Regulars. Jonathan Frazen wrote the intro. There are allot of the photos on her website.
