Out of the camera I immediately liked this shot, captured more or less from the hips, during the evening rush hour, at La Défense, Paris. But after taking a closer look at it, my enthusiasm soon faded, as I realised it wasn’t sharp. I rejected however the impulse to delete it, and kept it at my computer in the “crappy shots” folder (which, I must admit, occupies a considerable amount of my hard drive).
As weeks went by (it was taken in April 2o16) I couldn’t really forget it. I find it to hold a certain dynamic that I kinda like. Technically it’s impossible to save (and believe me, I have tried), so upon deciding to publish it, I went for this version which isn’t very much post processed.
So the question is, is it good or bad? Honest comments is much appreciated.
A couple of days ago, I took my camera and went for a walk in the evening. The autumn is closing in on us now, and at 8.30 p.m. it was already dark. Outside a theatre building, I came across this scene, which I was fortunate enough to capture.
Faces can be intriguing, especially peoples expressions. And of course, the eyes are crucial. One afternoon, taking the underground home, I sat on the folding seat opposite this guy. Browsing the carriage, I became aware of the solemn expression on his face.
