The street portraits that I mentioned in my blog thread have been on the back-burner for the last couple of weeks, so the latest roll to be developed has some shots I took a month ago. This one is my favourite - Mark and Tracey in Morecambe. Minolta Autocord, HP5, Rodinal semi-stand development
It is indeed and I like the delicate engagement and hint of a smile there. I also really like the posing / composition: that slight hint of curvature from each other.
I am finding these street shots great fun but quite a challenge, as it's hard for me, with my lack of experience, to direct the poses and I rarely feel as though I can keep people for much longer than it takes to make one portrait. So I am always glad when people are natural enough not to look like it's a police mugshot. I am racking up the experience now though, with about 50 in the bag.
And it continues to show in your pictures Chris, I look forward to seeing more of this series as I'm sure others do.
