Warm Hearts

Larger is even happier.

I met this lovely couple in a crowded shopping area in Seoul when I offered to take their picture with their P&S. They were to incredibly friendly (even though their English wasn't that great), and I asked if I could take their picture. Out of several shots, this one unposed candid moment conveyed the warmth and happiness between them that could not be faked. Their infection and genuine smiles made me feel very happy that day.

Technical note: I tried a new technique with this one that worked quite effectively (I think). Using capture NX, I used one B&W conversion step for the background, optimized for the background (to simplify and abstract it best). Control points were used to mast off that conversion layer from the subjects. A second B&W conversion layer used control points to select just the subjects, and it was optimized for their skin tones and dynamic range. It think it produced a good separation of subject from background, especially the limits of the lens to f/5.6.

Even nearly wide open at 112mm, the 70-300VR was impressively sharp.
