Selamat Datang di Indonesia Kuuan Smile


terima kasih Pak Wink

Vietnamese youth, military personal about to go to Cambodia posing with their guns in front of the Ho Con Rua monument in Saigon. Taken during the period Vietnam had first ousted Pol Pot and then occupied Cambodia from 1979-89, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian%E2%80%93Vietnamese_War
Most probably taken by a pro then, snapped 2013 by me and Pen-F 1.4/40 on NEX5N Wink


Are you Indonesian living in Saigon or you're Vietnamese, kuuan? It's a nice photo of that period, I never seen any photo like that.

I don't have many people shot Sad. This is a photo I took about 2 months ago using Helios 44-3, on Canon 450D, it's wide open or maybe f/2.8, as I remember

Such great captures!

I am still working on candid people shots. My focusing process is still too deliberate and slow and I feel a bit self conscious. I admire the skill I see here.

This young woman drew my eye when I was strolling in downtown Tucson, AZ. I happened to have my KH 55 3.5 macro lens on the camera and didn't want to take the time to switch out, so that's what I used.

I love shooting people, but it can be tricky. It helps if you have a good idea about the hyperfocal distance of your lens, or f you are well positioned and patient. Wide can be easy of course but hard to avoid messy photos.

Wide but not too wide. I find 35mm to be ideal for street work.

The color connection between the women's clothing and the amusement park background is really brilliant!
