A friend, at the local outdoor brewpub, late afternoon light.

This goes doesn't half look like someone I know ... it's more like 90%! And he'd be in the States, too. Can't be sure because of the sunglasses, unfortunately, but that'd be beyond cool ...

As it is, I'll settle for doppelgänger beards

Our neighborhood had several annual block parties. This was taken at the last event pre-Covid. As luck would have it today was to be the first return—- Hurricane Ian caused its cancellation.
Definitely looking forward return and a chance to shoot lots of other folks and playtime for the kids.

If it's any help, the friend is a musician, a very decent guitarist who plays in multiple genres but many having to do with folk, blues or 'country'.

So, no, unfortunately - though it would have been very strange anyhow, almost disconcerting, because I'm pretty much sure the guy I'm thinking of is over on the peninsula in his home state, doing emergency support and rescue as we speak ...

This thoughtful older gentleman and I got into a conversation about his cool plaid hat that I had admired - made by Pendleton! - which evolved into a longer conversation about fabrics, and his former business, running a small store which sold fabric, including Pendleton woolens.

I was all keyed up to do my end of year shoot with Joshua today, but he had to postpone
So I'm re-editing some images from 2018

I've been trying to use the Tamron 70-180mm f 2.8 for portrait but it's difficult not having a subject. BUT a friend of mine volunteered for a quick snap by the window:

The image was underexposed 1/2 a stop to preserve the highlights, I tried to aim for a balanced light in post and I applied -33 Texture on the skin to smooth out the sharpening for the rest of the image (clothes and hair). I put a B&W version on the other thread.

I much prefer this portrait over the B&W. That one is overly contrasty.
Here you have the warm lighting suitable for your very pretty friend. Everything here lends itself to warmth, even the color of her sweater. And especially her smile.
NICELY DONE!!!
