This candid was taken in the middle of Grasmere in the Lake
District. My wife was in a shop - as usual - so I was propping
up the door post outside.
These three men sat on the seat opposite, got out a map and
began discussing their next destination.
I could see the possibility of a shot so focused and waited for
a reasonable set of mannerisms. They were so engrossed in their
discussion that they had no idea that I was there, nor did they
here the camera shutter - no motor wind at this time - the camera
was a Pentax SP1000 with 200 mm. SMC lens. Always buy the best
lenses that you can afford as they make the results. The SMC
lenses that I had at the time were also used on a Cosina SLR and
the results were just as good as the Pentax.
Compositionally, the picture lends itself to a thinner than
normal horizontal frame, and there are two bright highlights
right on the top edge of the frame that tend to draw the eye.
I could have toned them down during printing.
