George Zimbel: Digital diahhrea is a disease for which there is a simple cure. Take one frame of a scene. It is exquisite training for your eye and your brain. Try it for a month. Then try it for another month…then try it for another month…..
Leica MP, Voigtlander 35/1.7 Ultron, Kodak Ektar 100 film. With even, dispersed, cloudy/shadowy lighting conditions, metering would have been on a neutral density area - brick or sidewalk. I also shoot all my film at a slightly lower ASA for color/density saturation in this type of light - here it was set to 80.
I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan
Reminds me very much of Tuna's boy in black car shot. Then it was the fearful look on the little boys face. Here it is the fidgity fingers and revengful look on the ladys. Everything else is "framing" for the want of a better word.
Excellent stuff as usual from Tuna.

Thanks for the info. Did you do anything in the way of post-processing? Color tweaking, sharpening, etc.? What software did you use? What kind of scanner is used for these images?
Did the woman notice that you'd taken her picture?
And where was this, btw? What is the space we're looking into?
Its her fidgety fingers that get me every time I look at this shot. I am SO disturbed by those fingers and the look on her face -- I am afraid that she has been stood up!
Another great story told through your excellent observant eyes.
My Best to You,

My love for others is NOT conditional on their meeting my standards.
It works well. Even though it would affect your rule of thirds placement of her, I personally would crop some off the left, for I find that reflection ever so slightly distracting.

Post-processing? Yes, the usual stuff with Photoshop after scanning in the neg with a Nikon Coolscan IV dedicated film scanner. I enjoyed the ability of the new Ektar film to give me a wide range of color moods to play with. Architecture 1 came from the same roll and I chose a different color approach there without difficulty. Slide films have never allowed me these types of differing color moods - Reala came close but Ektar has impressed me quite a bit so far.
Did she notice me? I believe with the state of peripheral vision these days, yes, she must have. However she never indicated so. Realizing, I'm certain, that she was now a part of something beyond her control. In other words, she played her part well.
This was a coffee house/cafe in downtown Washington, DC somewhere between Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenues.
This is outstanding and I really like the vacant look as if her thoughts are a long long way away.
