Ann 38/100 - Betty

Betty was on her way home from having her leg ulcer treated. Everyone you meet in Kogarah is on the way to or from the doctor. I'm pretty pleased with these, the flash fired but the conditions were right and they are in focus. I don't think she looks 76. Putting the second one up because I love her expression, she was trying really hard not to laugh.

That main one is a lovely portrait: The background is nicely blurred, the flash is not intrusive, the head is on an interesting diagonal, and, the face is just wonderful.

Excellent find!

I don't have anything for today yet - but have to walk across campus in a moment for a training course. One ever knows ...

I got stopped on the way in here by a lad from Abu Dhabi who needed directions and I did not ask him: I am getting so fussy. The background would have been boring and he was actually not doing anything and was just quite quite normal. I now want character character character ...

Good one Ann! Perhaps I need to visit Kogarah to find a victim!

Isn't it great when they work out?

I still haven't got out, and no trick or treat kids visiting.... perhaps I shall lay a trap at the front gate!

I really like this shot. A lovely character, good expression and tilt of the head and sharp focus on the person. Beautiful.
