Waiting for the Train

I am posting a bit early tonight because we are out again this evening. It has been rather a busy week socially.

I saw this lady at the railway station in Dunedin. She was very dressed up and I just loved her hat and shawl. I think she was rather surprised that I asked if I could take her photo.

Haven't been able to catch up on 365 today as I have just finished my photo book of 365 photos from last year and it has been uploading for the last few hours. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

That is one of my projects out of the way.

[M0ments in time]

Very colourful lady, nice of her to allow you to take her picture

[Valerie Chesney]

What a delightful capture, Babs...

[Merrelyn]

Love that shawl, you are much braver than me Babs. I rarely take photos of strangers, because I hate asking :)

So very elegant, the shawl is gorgeous. Well done on the completion of your 365 photo book Babs. I have yet to commence my albums from 2015, but as you know, I have a lot on my plate at the moment :)

[Rachel]

She looks so grand, and I like the touch with the green shoes. Well done on getting your book done!

Nice capture, she must be going somewhere very special. I would not have had the courage to approach her and ask if I could take her picture.

I told her that I thought she looked fantastic and could I take her photo and she seemed quite pleased.

[Babs]

@yaorenliu Yes her shoes really matched her shawl. She really thought about that outfit.

[Babs]

@888rachel Thanks Rachel. She did look lovely.
Pleased with my new photobook. I got an email yesterday not long after I uploaded it and was told that it had just been printed and I could check out the link and see what it looks like online, the same way as I sent the link from last years book to you.

[Babs]

@hermann Thanks Sally. Can't wait to see the book. I can look at a preview of it online.
You are a bit slow with your book aren't you, can't think what you are doing with your time ha ha.

[Babs]

@pcoulson @mbmomentsintime @merrelyn @shirleybankfarm Give it a go at asking people if you can take their photo I think you will be surprised.
I guess I am the right age group to be able to get away with it though with both male and females. I just say "You look fantastic can I take your photo" and then usually ask them something about why I want to take their photo. As in this case the outfit the lady was wearing.
With an opening line like telling someone they look fantastic, they don't very often say No.

[Hazel]

@onewing

If I think I'll have any difficulty, I'll remember this opening line, Babs!!!

[Jane Morley]

I've got a few hats she could have!
