December 2: PaD Addendum – A Good Day

San Diego, CA


My trip to the coast today was replete with fun and business success. My new client wants three days of work right away this December which I can do. Then my lunch with Dale at a local Afghan restaurant was delightful. I only took 87 shots for his “portrait.” This is one I like the best.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
1/30s f/4.0 at 45.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

It is heartening to know that it takes 87 shots for a wonderful photographer like you to get a "keeper". It gives me hope!
This is a fantastic photo. So full of personality!

This is an excellent portrait. Very nicely accomplished. The clarity, the exposure, contrast and composition are spot on.

Wonderful capture. At those settings you are quite lucky this is not blurred!

Nice job.
