4.05 Think Pink!

No matter what you wear...
(P.S. don't trust the Exif data: this was shot with a 15mm and I simply forgot to manually set the lens...)

Sister X looks somewhat bemused and/or puzzled. Splendid candid. Meanwhile I'm much taken by the PINK bus!

[Richard Sayer]

15mm F/L... really? With a F/F sensor that would put you no more than 1m from the nun but the (light) lateral distortion would seem to indicate a greater distance... or a longer focal length. Not the best shot you've posted 😥

Did the nun think pink or see red Domenico?

[Domenico Dodaro]

@s4sayer thank you! And yes, the bus is so pink! I just forced a bit the clarity (apparent in the lady's sweater almost fluorescent pink!)
@vignouse indeed it was. The Voigtlander 15 4,5. I was some 2 m away and shot at hip level. Cropped away about 1/5 of the frame. I'm sure it's not. At least other 442 are not my best one, lol! But I appreciate and value very much your judgment: why?
@chillen haha maybe the first one: I don't think she noticed me!

[Richard Sayer]

@domenicododaro Why? It's a valid question. I guess because your images are usually tightly composed with a clear message... this one felt, I don't know, a bit gratuitous. Oooo! Pink bus, lady in pink jumper... and a Nun... CLICK! Probably the real reason is that this image followed those two amazing B&W candids that I can't praise highly enough.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@vignouse it's a valid answer, and not only because of the compliments for other images 😉. Effectively, a "decisive moment" is not enough to make a picture, yet sometimes the temptation is strong... and the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!

oh come now its not that bad, nice triangular composition and wild perspective with the wide angle,

Who said life was in focus everyday? Mine's not. Maybe I need to check my own internal aperture and shutter speed and when I'm having a not so terrific day, I can blame it on my settings? :):)

I like this because my eye landed on the nun at first and then moved around to see other interesting aspects.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@kali66 haha thank you for the support!
@joysabin oh my settings should be submitted to a good repairman (or woman!)

[Yao RL]

The pink bus is chasing the pink lady!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@yaorenliu maybe she won a free ride!
