The lady in the Apothecary Shop

This was taken in a small shopping arcade in Wickham, Hampshire. The lady had such a lovely smile and I liked the background as well, so I asked permission to take her photo......and she agreed.

It was quite dark in the shop so I used f2.8 and upped the iso a little. In hindsight I should probably have used around f5.6 to get the writing on the bottles in focus, but I'm still pretty happy with how it came out.

I've sent her a copy already, so I hope she likes it.

Lieber Keith,das hast du wunderbar umgesetzt,du hast doch auf das symphatische Lächeln hinweisen wollen,ansonsten wäre vielleicht Ablenkung durch die Schärfe dieser Gläser vorhanden,man sieht dem Lächeln an,das sie gerne mit Leuten zusammenarbeitet,so ein Lächeln tut einfach immer gut :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

A good find here in this little shop. Your 'model' is perfect with that lovely smile and I am sure she would be more than happy with this. I somehow think you took more than just this one here -ie close-ups of the bottles ? Well done.

Cheers. Herb

Glad you like this one Herb............and yes she did like it. Actually I only managed one photo as the store was quite busy......and people actually waited just outside the door while I took the shot, which was nice of them.

Maybe I'll get another chance!

A lovely portrait, I don't think it matters about not being able to read the labels it's about her smile and the symmetry of the jars and the mystery of the one smaller jar

8 weeks ago.

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Peter Castell ^club

Many thanks Peter, I think you've summed up my thoughts about it perfectly. Glad you like it.

To be honest I didn't even notice the one smaller jar until I got my shot on the laptop :-))
