Christoph, from my point of view, it is best your's photo (at least from the presented here at 1x.com). is it staged shoot or is it candid reportage shoot?

Christoph Hessel Thanks a lot Oleg. It is not staged, but "street" as it is.

When i sow this image, the first thing that came into my mind was what in the world was the woman thinking about when she was about to sleep?. I think she was think about how she will do when she sees his husband at home the how she will give him a worm kiss. I just love this image. And thanks for this image cause am still laughing about this picture.

This is excellent, I love the candid effect and the individual expressions, and the excellent exposure considering that you were shooting into the sky. I would have preferred to see a sharper image, but it does not detract from the effect, well done.

Hi Christoph,
I have looked for a long time your picture. It is a very unusual; beautiful photo. I would like to see more pictures from you.
What interested me even more, what has the one man in the middle in his hands?

thank You very much for Your kind comment. It is his blindman's stick.

that's a candid? gross anyway...

Christoph Hessel Hello Stefan,
I'll try it in my bad english. Spontanous Yes, secret not.
I have just seen Your Debut here, the more I am honored by Your comment. Danke vielmals!

Stefan Fuertbauer Hi Christoph! Na dann wechseln wir mal auf Englisch (wenn das hier kein Problem ist, hoffe ich mal). Das Foto ist wirklich ein außergewöhnlich gelungener Schnappschuss! Schnappschuss natürlich nicht im Sinne von knipsen, versteht sich! Du hast da was gesehen und echt total wunderbar umgesetzt! Solche Fotos berühren...

Christoph Hessel Thank You very much! And: no problem at all. Of course it not a planend shooting and so a kind of snapshot :)
I have had luck. It was the blnd guy, to whom I have to thank and say my respect.

Fascinating picture. :)

Christoph Hessel It makes me happy to read Your congratulation. In my eyes, the three protagonists earn the compliment. Thank You very much Christiane

Christiane Anna K. Lepke You are too modest. They could have never taken that picture.

BTW They didn't mind, you taking their picture? I'm wondering how they reacted.

Christoph Hessel I asked them, whether I might take a photo. The blind guy: "no difference for me". the couple just nodded with their heads. It was an atmosphere of silence. strange somehow. The mood of the blind guy characterized the athmosphere.

What a trio! A lot of interest here. How come the middle guy is closer? I thought they are all sitting on the same row? By the way, the girl on the right is lovely.

An excellent way to start your gallery here.

Congrats.

Christoph Hessel Thank You Yakov,
I am glad about Your congrats.
He is closer, because he just uses the edge of the seat. He entered later than the girl and the guy, who are a couple and made him place.
It was a very extraordinary situation...

gerard sexton 2 years ago

This was an instant favourite in screening its a terrific capture. How were you able to get the exposure balanced to get the exterior clouds perfectly exposed while getting the interior exposed so well also. Was it very light inside the train from behind you or did you use fill flash?

Christoph Hessel Thank You Gerard,
It was not so bright inside the train, no flash. I developed it twice through raw converter.
Masking and layers...
