Paranoia

The photographer is well & truly sprung, not only by the subject but by an interested onlooker as well.
Such a lovely warm smile on such a chilly day.
Shot from my usual seat at the Crema Espresso Bar, the greatest coffeehouse in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia on a very wet, windy and chilly winter day.
Canon EOS 40D & Canon 100-300mm USM Lens: RAW, Manual setting of f/5.6 @ 1/800sec, 220omm, ISO 200, Continuous focus, Hand held.
Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop CS3
Enjoy!
Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/800 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 220.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D

THE MAKING of 'Paranoia':It just so happened that the Wintersun Nostalgia Festival 2011 was in full swing, (well it was until the rain bucketed down) and there were people everywhere we looked.
I caught sight of this young woman through the crowd and waited until there was a break to nail this shot. Fortunately it took some time, during which she spotted me and beamed that smile at me at the right moment. It was not until I looked at the image on my computer that I saw the man in the background had his eyes on me too. In fact I think he had his eyes on both of us and was enjoying the moment. I love that sort on interaction in my candid photography.
Enjoy!
