Oldman

[AnotherAngle]

Someone with quite a bundle of camera equipments(must be a pro) asked me to asked this oldman for permission to shoot. While he shoots, I also shoot. Here is the result:

Result could be better, but I am still learning. Maybe should be closer to minimise the background.

Comments?

Thx

On hindsight, I think I should zoom more into the face as it is his wrinkles that is the theme. Should have cut out the shirt, the red background (by blurring it) but considering that I am a newbie and the short time require (it is not a posed shot).
One thing though, I managed to catch his toothless smile
