Jack

My young B&B guy who I have had staying over the last few nights.
I asked him at breakfast this morning if I could take his photo for a project I was doing. I explained about lenses & DOF so I sounded very professional so he gladly agreed.
From a family farm near Edinburgh he is doing a course at the local agricultural college two days a week.ji
Over 6.3"" he had to duck down through every one of our doors!
A delightful young man who will return later in the month. All I could smell in his room when he left was aftershave & toothpaste & believe me sometimes it's very different!

I did not tell him that you all wanted to have a look!! 🤣

Three good things:
1. I discovered I had lost my debit card when I went to the shops this morning. Had to think back where I had used it last. Tesco & blow me if they didn't have it in a cash tin behind customer services! I take my hat off to you Tesco!
2. It's gone from really cold windy weather this morning to a warm sunny afternoon.
3. My friend has borrowed the third book by Jo Jo Moyes called Still Me & she's finished it so I'm reading it before it's due back at the library.
He has a lovely face and you've taken a really lovely portrait of him. Great about the card - so inconvenient having to stop them and reorder.

You are shameless Pat!

Another Jack! You have got good light on his face with no nasty shadows. And the background is nice and bright. Regarding projects and DOF etc - its all true!

Great portrait! Glad you found your card!

A delightful shot. Your expertise on DOF and lenses has paid off the focus is perfect.

Thank you all for your nice comments about Jack, my first & probably last B&B portrait! Thank goodness he was very willing but I would find it daunting to ask anyone else! A prime captive group but I wouldn't want to think they were obliged to have a photo taken!
So relieved about my card too, you can never be too careful these days especially with that handy but rather dangerous swipe option, you could take quite a few £30 withdrawals!

Great portrait! He sounds like a lovely guest!

Great smile and dof
