I did cross with that guy. I was walking at a park near my house and I saw this man crying at a bench. I sat on a bench near his and used the H1's great zoom to get close to this man. I dont remember well but maybe its like 8x zoom (dont know the lens-equivalent).
I tried to overexpose the shot to make the background the whiter I could get. After that I used a little of photoshop to make some contrasts and added some blur at the skin (I'm not pretty skilled on photoshop, so, its something basic). It helped a lot that there was a white wall behind the man, so, the background its almost at natural ;).
once again, thanks for your comments :).
Regards,

This pic made me stop in my tracks. It's so stark yet so dynamic. Great capture. A must in black and white. It reminds me of an oder Dylan poster I have. Did this guy pose for you or did you just come across him? How did you get so close? Did you use an telephoto lens? How did you get the background to contrast so well. It's awesome.
