The reasons I don't take portraits are legion. For one thing, being deaf makes the necessary interaction very tricky. I did ask their names but the answer was hard to grasp and I didn't have anything with me so that I could get them to write them down, not even my own phone. Another reason is, I am hopeless at portraits! I had my camera on a landscape setting and I forgot to amend the setting to blur the background. I'm always too embarrassed to spend the time faffing about getting it right, which I know is really silly! I hugely admire those bloggers who take wonderful portraits when they are out and about (Jack and Stefan among them) but I'll never emulate them.
Never mind, it's a halfway decent photo and they are such gorgeous girls (even though nameless) and were so very sweet, that it's a pleasure to share this. Any one of them could be a model, I'm sure.
Came out nicely this one. Taking a group portrait can be tricky when it comes to finding the correct focus.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, your camera makes them all look look models.
ReplyDeleteI think you did very well, Jenny!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! Well done!. I'm the same -- rarely take posed pictures of people.
ReplyDeleteLovely people captured with just the right shutter!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful portrait! I tend to refrain from portraits as well.
ReplyDeleteA very fine group photo. Each has an interesting expression. You know me . . . I would have taken the group photo and then I might have asked if I could take separate photos of each of them. And, once again, I had not thought about how easy it is for me -- as one who can hear -- to interact with strangers and how difficult it must be for you -- as a deaf person -- to do so.
