Old Friends


Couldn't believe it, but it was for real.  Any other time and you would think I had to hire actors to portray another era.  Tricky lighting here, and the dog wouldn't be still (the old gentleman was eating a slice of bologna)!  Surprised myself when I looked at the metadata:  f/2.8, 1/6shutterspd, iso 140, centerweight metered.  No tripod even with slower shutter speed, but I was sitting and my elbows on my knees.  This was some time ago before I knew shutter speed controlled the background exposure so the light source was pretty blown out.  Many thanks to the subjects for their cooperation.
