50 mono portraits at 50mm : No. 2 : Tony

I am going to attempt to take 50 mono portraits with my 50mm lens, 50 at 50mm ! It's from an idea inspired by Carla @sidecar

This is image No. 2 : Tony

Tony is a member of Arnold and District Camera Club. Tony is the club treasurer. At 70 he's a retired Telecoms / Telephone Engineer. Tony is a big Notts County supporter ("he had a wheelbarrow but the wheel fell off" ....ony diehard footie fans will understand that). As well as being an excellent photographer, Tony also likes to shoot video and is a skilled practioner at creating videos with his pc editing software. Back in the day Tony produced some great dark room shots and has now mastered the art of digital workflow. Tony has just bought a "gentlemans carriage" ( a Jaguar car), which he is quite rightly proud of.

I took about 6 shots of Tony and when I showed them on the back of my camera he said he liked the one with the adidas logo the best

So this is Tony, number 2 in my series of 50. Not every model will be from Arnold and District Camera Club ....... we don't have 50 members !

[Kerri]

Great portrait

[Sue Wilde]

That's 2 and I am counting. He looks a little embarrassed by the attention

[Maggiemae]

He has such nice kind and humorous eyes! Your photo shows this!

[Pat Knowles]

Another good portrait Phil.......I hope the camera club had 50 members! I think portraits always look good in mono.

[Dione Giorgio]

Another super portrait shot, Phil. Such portrait shots work so well in b&w. I have to get the courage and do some like this someday.

He's 70? You kidding me aren't you? Great background to him and come to Wangi Wangi Camera Club - there's more than 50 in there for you to photograph. Looking good.

[Myrna O'Hara]

Jolly fellow

[Sue]

A very cheeky grin ... another great portrait.

[Judith Greenwood]

They're all wearing well these camera club members! He's not made it easy having a white T-shirt on though!
