A trendy young couple in the crowd at the Wintersun11 Nostalgia Festival. It's up to you to work out why the title.

Shot from my usual seat at the Crema Espresso Bar, the greatest coffeehouse in my home town of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia.

Canon EOS 40D with Canon 100-300mm USM Lens: RAW, Manual settings of f/5.6 @ 1/320sec, 115mm, ISO 200, Continuous focus, Hand held.
Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop Cs3.

Enjoy!

The Making of 'Rusty':

It had bucketed down with rain during the morning and my Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club mate Peter and I did not like our chances of getting some shots of the festival but as we sipped our coffee contemplating our next move, I spotted this couple working there way down the street through the crowd.

With my camera on the table always at the ready it was a matter of locking onto the subject and waiting for a gap in the crowd for an appropriate shot. As photographer's luck would have it the gap appeared right near my table which gave me the great angle.

Enjoy!

  You've captured a great looking pair. With hats and glasses they look like movie stars.
