Contrasts

There are times when a photo must be sharp, perfectly on focus, while other times it is the message that it carries that must be perfectly focussed.


I loved the scene when it started developing in front of my eyes: the two womaen chatting, the man passing by, the contrast of light and darkness, the film banner with the writing "Brother"... I like all these contrasts and in the moment I was able to bring my camera to my eye, the moment happened and the guy turned to look: on focus on not I had to take that moment... and I like it!

    yes always press the shutter – if you worry about focus you’re guaranteed to miss the shot, especially with an SLR – I suppose that’s why a Leica/28 is such a popular combination – priceless moment beautifully caught here, fine contrasty tones too

    Perfect timing!
    nice contrast, and the fact that the girl is standing on that line, like it’s her shadow…

    What a great catch! The fact that from a distance the lady looks like she’s wearing a hijab and the word Brothers so visible completes it perfectly.
