Silver woman - Unstaged photo set

I present you few portraits of a silver woman I papped in the park (this is from the Wednesday walk I shared yesterday). Was sitting on a bench at the distance of just 1,5 m, and was tempted to take her portrait - she was so into her reading job. I wonder if she's an editor, or corrector? Maybe she borrowed this pile of printed papers, like, she moved to the park her office duties? Never know, I did not ask... instead I just pressed trigger and adjusted my position a few times, to get the best angle on her face. I liked this unstaged moment of deep thinking so much!

I used my fave fixed-focus macro telephoto lens (Sigma 150mm) which in my opinion, performs portrait job pretty well. What do you think?..

Totally, I managed to make eight captures - today I share three of them, which I consider to be the best takes.

if you are not doing smth wrong this could be very nice! -- especially when an option 'get the photos for free' is attached. I remember a case when I inspired myself two stranger girls to take a photo of me. I was walking in the park and felt such a good spiritual uplift that almost simply dancing (holding an umbrella in my hands and doing gestures with it ) — these girls were excited with it that took a photo. I was pleased! Yes, I left my mark on someone's film, and for me it remained invisible. But it's better to left such a trace - with a smile rather than with a dissatisfied, twisted grimace on a face.

Anyway. Glad you enjoyed the visuals. Thanks for stopping by!

It's a beautiful shot that captured the unexpected moments of unawareness.

It's great 👍 💙 @qwerrie

This is great. Sometimes, when I'm thinking deeply, my husband would pass by and ask me what is wrong :)) I'm holding my head, pulling at my chin...so absorbed I'm unaware of my environment. Just like this lady. You captured it perfectly.

So deep in thought, what a nice capture! You could almost name the shot "The Thinker". Every now and again you just find a perfect subject in the right place at the right time. Well done!

Agree. This is exactly how I considered this capture: Thinker. Essence of it!
