Unplanned portrait session at the skating park
Last week I checked my local park, had camera with me but it was past magic hour actually, the best light went away and I almost was not going to unholster it. But, sometimes things just go their own unplanned way!
I spent 15 minutes at the scooters velodrome spot just enjoying the sight - when and one of the boys approached me and asked if I can take a picture of him and his bike. "Why not", I said - and finished taking half dozen captures instead of one.
(By the way - which version you would like more - color or monochrome?.. )
The funny thing was that he had a junior brother...
...who did not mind to get a portrait too.
I took one unstaged paparazzi-style close-up portrait (photo above) and a staged one, portrait with his fave bike (photo below). Again - it turns out that unstaged capture beats the staged one.
Perhaps that is all for today. Hope you enjoyed this very little walk and - quite a minimalistic - portrait session. See you next time!

Oh, wow! These are great portraits.
What a golden opportunity. He is so not self-conscious, and yet he is posing. I love these shots.

ЧБ мне показалось великовато. Если бы они было масштаба цветного, то было бы может и выразительнее.
