Beyond the Hustle and Bustle

    I love shooting with other photographers, such as this session with British photographer Albert Palmer and his now-fiancée. They're always up for anything, such as when I say. "Hey, how do you feel about sitting in the middle of Grand Central? It's likely that we'll get a talking-to from security." "Sure!"

    And doubly so, since I'd conceptualized shooting through the legs of a rushing businessman, pants and all. But I think this adds to their natural class.

    I also seem to have a (subconscious?) habit of getting the American flag in whenever shooting British subjects.

      Well done Ryan - my mind puzzles over the flag - is it denoting something about the couple sitting under it, or the object sitting above it.. just my 2c.

      Boss. I'd say HCB would be proud - timing couldn't have been better! Love it.

      edit:
      You took that with a 24? She must have been RIGHT THERE. I love it even more.

    23. makatron (20 months ago | reply)

      with a 24mm you must have been around 6 feet away so she really was like 2 feet from you!

      one would wait more shallow DoF at f1.4 .......

      Very interesting concept, nice shot.

      @makatron: Manual at 3.0m, with a depth of field of about 1.4m (from about 53cm before the focus point to about 83cm after)

      At large size you can see the DoF better.
