How do you like the hat? by onewing

How do you like the hat?

First of all thank you all so much for the amazing response to yesterday's photo. I was blown away to see so many comments and favs.

Friday people day again for me and I took this photo at a café where we were having a cuppa while out with our walking group a couple of weeks ago.

Note: sitting in a café and not doing much walking, ha ha.

We had finished our walk and were waiting in the café for some of the stragglers to turn up before going off to the pub for lunch.

You will notice that there is much more eating and drinking rather than walking with our "walking group".

This chap was in the café and I just loved his hat and asked if I could take his photo. He said that one of the regular customers to the café made it for him.

We are out for dinner tonight so won't be able to catch up until tomorrow probably.
Gorgeous hat and beautiful smile :)

Great shot!!! Wonderful candid!! He looks like he has "happy eyes" to go with that smile!! ;)

Isn't it great when people are happy to pose. Great portrait shot and love the hat. Walking groups I have belonged to always start and end at the pub that does meals!

Gorgeous portrait of the happy looking chap Babs, you have really put him at ease, he looks so natural, not easy with a camera pointing his way:)
July 10th, 2015  
Excellent capture, Babs. I love the happy expression on his face.
July 10th, 2015  
oh Babs what a beautiful portrait. You are brave asking some one if you can take their pic. I have only been brave enough to ask if I can photograph their dog! but that's a start I suppose.

I thought it was a visitor from SA. Some people here in SA like to wear these kind of "hats"

This chap was a lovely character and such fun to talk to. I told him how fantastic he looked and asked if I could take his photo. With a line like that he isn't going to say "No" is he. ha ha. He was gorgeous though and I loved his hat.
The rest of our walking group who were in the café, of course, told David that I was chatting up people to take their photos. David is used to that though, so nothing new there.

great Friday people shot!
July 11th, 2015  
Great hat, and great shot. I will have to bite the bullet and start to do something like this too.
July 11th, 2015  
What a lovely open face and smile. Red, green and gold , does he have dreadlocks underneath I wonder.
July 11th, 2015  
Great capture, Babs!
July 12th, 2015  
Love the hat AND his face! Wonderful capture of him.
July 12th, 2015  
@beachdog Give it a go Barb I am sure you will get the hang of it. I am lucky that I am of the right age to be able to chat up young blokes and old without sounding sleazy, ha ha. I only have to tell a bloke that he looks fantastic and can I take his photo and of course they will say yes. Tell a young girl that they look gorgeous too and they usually oblige.
July 13th, 2015  
Great hat, wonderful portrait and lovely smile.
July 13th, 2015  
I love how you caught the relaxed smile and expression on the young man's face.
