I was walking down the street and noticed this old guy puff’n on his pipe outside of a bar. I immediately pictured the shot in black and white and thought it might be half decent. So I walked up to him and asked if I could take his picture, he nodded, put his pipe in his mouth and looked right into the lens. Perfect pose and a look like he’d done it before ;).
Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 50mm 1.4 ~ Settings: 1/250th – f/1.4 – ISO 640

great portrait. I wish I was as brave as you to ask a stranger for their portrait! a great reward for your hard work,
Thank you! You should go ask people. Worst thing that can happen is they will say no ;). You walk off and ask some one else haha. Or just take their picture with out asking, something I often do LOL.
