A Thousand Words - a photo on Flickriver

A Thousand Words

© Leanne Boulton, All Rights Reserved

A spontaneous smile that lead to a '100 Strangers' portrait with Liz. I often get asked if I interact with people after capturing a 'candid' shot and the answer is simply that I always will if needed or wanted. Never be afraid to talk with people - we all have stories to tell.

Captured in Glasgow in July 2015 on my old Canon 7D. I love the expression in this shot but never posted it before because the focus was off on the eyes a bit. To mitigate this and be able to enjoy this shot I simply boosted the contrast and added grain - this technique lets you get away with a little less 'pin sharp' accuracy and it happened a lot with my old Canon 7D in head-on street shots where lighting was poor. Enjoy!
