One Joint Too Many by `micdt The suggester writes: "Beyond standing next to this deviant whilst he made the photo i believe it's a perfect representation in a thirtieth of a second of what was going on for the guy standing outside of the "coffeeshop" in amsterdam. i've streetshot with many friends and although i would have loved to have made a photo of the same moment but didn't because two cameras would have definitely drawn unnecessary attention. having seen this photo after my friend Michael posted it ... i saw it was exactly what i would have done!"

Saw plenty of that there. I know you did too.

I'm really diggin' the guy in the hat to the right, looking at your subject and trying to figure out what's going on.

good mood and shallow DOF @ 1.0 :)

Young and free, for now.

The last time I was in Amsterdam I ended up like this fellow. I love the way the depth of field is just on him, and all that surrounds him has an element of confusion.
:iconrubberman542:
Nicely seen Mike!
A very interesting shot and I have to agree with the other comments here as well that the shallow DOF works wonderfully to draw your attention to him.
:iconmicdt:
yeah, I'm content with this one too.

but ... I really get problems when it gets dark. not only focussing but also reading the scales and putting the film into the camera. But I hate to put glasses on ;P
