Worries are timeless

Description

Capture taken of various emotions of a group of individuals outside an old jail that I thought represented despair, I can't believe this, a bit of concern looking at another, and out right disgust among others. Presented in tin type simulation to reflect the time period. This was not a staged capture but one I spotted on the Alamo Village Movie Set between performances. Captured with Canon 20 D at 28mm focal length, F/6.3, 1/80 sec, ISO 100 and processed in Aperture 2.1

Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/80 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 28.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 20D

A fantastic capture, Emile! Looks for all the world like a vintage shot. And I love the array of expressions and emotions here! I am so glad to see you back -- thought of you when Dolly happened by. Hope you made it through the storms and the floods without a lot of damage. When they say "It's one thing or another" in life, I guess they know what they're talking about! I have missed you on the site - hope you and yours (and all the cats) are doing A-OK. #6289062

Emile my friend, how are you? Good to see your posts again. I was in a bit of a slump myself for awhile, I've put up an image or two lately. A very well done capture here, I like the various expressions and the sepia tones that add to the old time look. Wonderful job! #6375336
