Music by phil_howcroft

Music

This isn't part of my 50 mono portraits at 50mm. It wasn't shot with my 50mm lens

It's a shot from last weeks Camera Club Treasure Hunt and is our teams interpretation of 'Music'.

Dave our chairman approached the young lady and explained what we were doing.

She said it was OK to take her picture, so we took a couple of shots each.

Converted to mono and the high ISO in the fading light helped add a bit of grain, which seems to work with the shop shutters in the background to create a nice urban feel.

I hear you ask how we get 'music'. Well it's the white headphones !

I did notice the headphones and realised the music connection - but look at that tattoo!

@maggiemae thanks maggie, i think the tat is actually a bracelet type thing that wraps around her neck to make it look like a tat !

To my uneducated eye she has a very Eastern European look. Great portrait in B&W.

I would love to have a go at portraits like this......brave to get up close like that. Must be easier in a group though.....she was very obliging! Looks rather Polish or similar but perhaps I'm wrong. Great portrait Ohil, you are getting good!
