I loved his hat, beard, and shirt combo. He agreed, after he asked me what kind of camera I had, and if I had a model release. After I showed him the image he said, &#8220;nice bokeh.&#8221; I was a little taken a back, but turns out he used to shoot movies.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the above shot is pretty much what I envisioned, but I thought it would have been better without the blue car that was in the background. I had other shots of him, but I liked his eyes in this one the best. So, I tried it in black and white.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cyberward.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100609-purpleShirt-001-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2120\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.cyberward.net\/blog\/2010\/06\/bright-and-purple-vs-black-and-white\/20100609-purpleshirt-001-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cyberward.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100609-purpleShirt-001-2.jpg?fit=478%2C720&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"478,720\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Christopher Ward&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D90&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1276126510&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Christopher Ward&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0028571428571429&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Black and White\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cyberward.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100609-purpleShirt-001-2.jpg?fit=240%2C361&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cyberward.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100609-purpleShirt-001-2.jpg?fit=478%2C720&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2120\" title=\"Black and White\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cyberward.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100609-purpleShirt-001-2.jpg?resize=478%2C720\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cyberward.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100609-purpleShirt-001-2.jpg?w=478&amp;ssl=1 478w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cyberward.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100609-purpleShirt-001-2.jpg?resize=240%2C361&amp;ssl=1 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So which one do you like better. I can&#8217;t decide. The car is irrelevant in this image, and his features are stronger I think, but I miss the purple shirt.<\/p>\n<p>Then I asked myself, what was my vision for this image. Good question. I knew I wanted his look without a strong background, hence, the shot at f\/4.0. Actually, I thought I was shooting at 2.8. My bad. Anyway, I think I like the purple shirt. Maybe I didn&#8217;t have a clear enough vision when I took the image. Maybe I am thinking way to much about this.<\/p>\n<p>I still like the shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I asked this gentleman at the playground, (we were both their with kids) if he wouldn&#8217;t mind posing for a picture.
