Strolling along

Taken in St. Andrews and posted here at the prompting of a friend, who has a better eyes than me.

Looks like an old print, but needs a little grain and tone down the highlights.

[flashback]

Looks like something Sharon is working on.

Well actually...actually...and I hope he doesn't mind me saying this....David is a friend of mine and I kicked his butt to get him to post this one here.

It has an 'insouciance' that far outweighs any flaws and I think it is really great.

As Sharon says she is my mews, :-), and she has helped me to push away from the snapshot recording photo I'm use to. This isn't an imitation of her style, but a shot I would previously discard being made into something by the use of layers and blending modes, which I wouldn't have dared to try before.

I most definately am not your muse and your style is totally your own but it is very good to share ideas and talk to a photographer who is local to you and who is open to thinking outside the box.

Every day's an education for me, including my spelling, and I agree sharing ideas is so important. Too many people seem to be bound up with trying to grab everything for themselves so its good to find a generous soul

Well, I thank Sharon for persuading you to post this photo, David. The moment you have captured in the woman's stride reveals a certain jauntiness which, when read with the hat she is wearing, suggests the 1940s to me (or some time about then). Who was it who said, a fuzzy or photo of a great subject is better than a sharp photo of a boring subject (or words to that affect). Anyway, well done and keep them coming.

Funny thing is, when I first saw the photo I thought of Sharon. Interestingly not just because of the 'style' but of the subject itself. My first impression was that it was shot of Herself. I think David is lucky to have such a "critic" in his corner.
