Happiness

In screening 4 noted sharpness as a weakness. Is it not obvious that the subjects are sitting behind dirty old plastic windows and not precision ground hubble telescope optical grade glass?

Ho, ho ... even though you're teeth might be gritted, I think you're still smiling (hubble telescope?!). Well done.

Richard Ford Nah - not gritted - just amazed at how people are so keen to see and critique - but their eyes are half shut... thanks anyway - as I said below - pure luck.

Cheers,
RF.

Richard Messenger You seem to be 'lucky' on a worryingly regular basis ... and long may you continue to be so!

Great! I love the focus.

Richard Ford Thank you Angela. Really appreciate it. I must confess that it looked a whole lot less dramatic in the view finder. But as I mentioned somewhere else - I owe more to serendipity than I do any innate skill! ;-)

A wonderful, lovely and very charming photograph Richard.

Richard Ford Thanks Helmut - glad you liked it. It was a very tender moment for sure - the kid just paused at me and shoved his ticket to the window... click. I can't take too much credit - I can't foresee or plan these things, I just throw myself outside as much as I can.

Richard I think I said before but I will repeat myself; knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit wisdom is knowing not to add in to a fruit salad! One of you most delightfully charming offerings so far.

Richard Ford Thanks Gerard - I too was a little surprised too - I had a few of him - but this was the most subdued which I think worked best... less is more sorta thinking...

A wonderful expression. "Camera does not matter."

Richard Ford Yup. The camera used is almost twice as old as I am! The only thing modern on it is a range finder - a de coupled one at that too! No light meter - parallax issues at close range and weird stares from people as if you are insane for not having a little pocket canon digital something with fuzzy logic dish washing option...... :-s
