Greg #2

	Greg #2 Meet Greg. He is a barista extraordinaire, a shrewd businessman & owner of the Crèma Espresso Bar, the best caffeine oasis in my home town of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. This shot was made from my usual seat at the Crèma while slurping coffee during the weekly Wednesday morning gathering of Camera Club friends. Canon EOS D60 & Canon USM 100-300mm Lens: RAW, Manual settings of f/5.6 @ 1/125sec, 180mm, ISO 100, Hand held. Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop CS3. Enjoy! Dennis Gay

THE MAKING OF 'Greg #2':

The conversation was running hot with discussion and arguments about many things photographical and candid shots were very few and far between that morning when one of my mates gave me a nudge and said, "Why not get a shot of Greg?"
I did not even know he was there as my view was blocked and as making a candid of Mine Host is an extremely rare occurrence I quickly set the camera up, got into position and lined him up. In this instance he was deep in thought after receiving a telephone call. Natural light and my Canon did the rest.
Greg will get a copy of this as soon as I get the prints back.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the Crèma. The best caffeine oasis in town.
Thank you both big time for your stimulating and encouraging "...love the espression..." and "...Love the B/W." comments on my coffee flavoured candid caper.

Linda: We have a great time and it helps strengthen the bond between camera club members as well as being a good real time forum for all things photographic.

Carla: Yes, he is certainly mulling over the 'phone call he received.
