TARA/REBECCA just for walking
Iso 200 f4 1/250 14/2/13
16:09
Highlights / shadows :
In this case the grey sky (top left) goes close to be burned, because I needed
the faces with correct exposure. I think shadows are well controlled.
Post processing : I
have used the plugin “Silver efex pro” with a modified preset.
Additional comments : Very
nice situation because the two girls went around the park with their mother,
but she didn’t want to be portrayed. They went with their dog, but I wasn’t
interested in the dog (this time).
PETER for doing exercise
Iso 200 f4 1/250 14/2/13 16:14
Highlights / shadows : The shadows are under control but the highlights (sky) are 50% burned. I don’t mind it because is interesting for isolating the subject. We can see his shape over the white sky.
Post processing : Adobe camera raw + Photoshop CS5 + “Silver efex pro” with a modified preset.
Additional comments : This man says to me that he use to walk for medical prescription. Sometimes people gives you much more info than you asked from them.
ESTHER & MARE they come for walking (and chating)
Iso 100 f4 1/60 20/3/13 16:12
Highlights / shadows : Very contrast one, with that white BUFANDA, but all under control.
Post processing : Not really very modified from the original, the BW is from silver efex pro.
Additional comments : Two old friends. 50 metres far I was listening them talking and laughing with a very good feeling between them. I am pretty sure they were waiting for my question, and they said a clear and strong “YES” together, great people in that age that you know what is important in life (share with your friends for example).
MILES he
works close to the park
Iso 100 f4 1/125 1/3/13

Highlights / shadows :
The “Miles picture” is overexpose in the sky, the situation is similar as the
last one
Post processing : ACR
+ Photoshop CS 5 and I have used the plugin “Silver efex pro” with a modified
preset.
Additional comments : The tree behind the subject
diverts attention by breaking the
white sky background. I put this one to see this kind of mistakes
that apprentices like me have to improve.
ZAID crosses the park for going to the mosque
Iso 100 f4 1/200 1/3/13

Highlights / shadows :
In this picture there are no problems with lights, just a small part
overexposure on the top right (grey sky that goes to white).
Post processing : ACR
+ photoshop CS 5 and I have used the plugin “Silver efex pro” with a modified
preset.
Additional comments : Very
kind person that stop with me in his way to his Friday on the mosque, he asked
me several questions about the project but in a very polite way he posed for
the picture.
ANTHONY feeds
the birds everyday
Iso 100 f4
1/200 1/3/13 14:59
Highlights / shadows :
this picture is the only one in the book made with sunlight, when I arrived to
the park was grey but in minutes the sun start to break the clouds. Because of
that, I had a few problems with the highlights, as you can notice.
Post processing : Photoshop
CS5 + Silver efex pro
Additional comments : This
is a “different” picture, Anthony is a man that comes everyday to the park, and
I had the opportunity to shot him with the birds around, they know he comes
with food and, in seconds, he is completely
RODEADO of many of the birds fo the park.
BECKY comes
with her baby for walking
Iso 100 f4 1/100 1/3/13

Highlights / shadows :
A little bit overexpose on the left corner sky.
Post processing : Photoshop
CS5 + Silver efex pro
Additional comments : This
is a very interesting picture for me. I think that when a woman goes around
with her baby, they are in a very INTIMO moment, and when someone (like me)
goes there, i think I am breaking something very personal. But the interesting
thing is that she ACCEDIÓ to be
portrayed, from the first second. Very nice situation.
SAM+MACHELA come
for making exercise

Highlights / shadows :
Little overexposure on the sky.
Post processing : Photoshop
CS5 + Silver efex pro
Additional comments : It
is curious this one, talking about the situation, they seem tow friends that go
together for a walk, and when I asked for the picture, they SE COMPORTARON
with nervous, but in seconds they situated the way you can see. I like to
imagine that this photo broke the distance between them, and perhaps make it
easy for them to know each other better.
CAMERON comes
to practice skating with his friends
Iso 100 f4 1/60
20/3/13 16:09
Highlights / shadows :
Because the light is very similar in all the frame, there weren’t problems with
it at all, easy to measure.
Post processing : ACR
+ Photoshop CS5 + Silver efex pro
Additional comments : I
think this guy has a very strong personality, why?, because he went around with
some colleges, to skate in the park, and I suddently asked them for a
picture…he was the only one that said “yes”, and made wait for him the rest of
the group. While his friends where laughing about the situation he was very
formal and posed very well for this picture.
PHIL comes
to walk with his dog
Iso 100 f4 1/60
20/3/13 16:15
Highlights / shadows :
Good exposure in general, no problems with this one. (when you don’t include
the sky all is easier).
Post processing : ACR
+ photoshop CS 5 + silver efex pro
Additional comments : he
was observing the picture before of the two women and I was sure he wanted to
be portrayed, very nice person with a different POSE than the rest.
TONY walking
with his dog

Highlights / shadows :
In this case I used one of the ACR tools for BAJAR the burned sky a little bit.
Post processing : ACR
+ photoshop CS 5 + silver efex pro
Additional comments : That
day I put the tripod in one place and I just had to wait the people, most of
them with their dogs.
KNIGHT lives close to the park

20/3/13 16:46
Highlights / shadows :
All ok, (good histogram). As highlights as shadows under control in the first
shot.
Post processing : ACR
+ photoshop CS 5 + silver efex pro
Additional comments : I
have to admit that this is one of the persons that I thought that wasn’t go to
stop for the picture, and he surprised me, fortunately. Perhaps it seemed too
serious and busy for stopping, I am happy when these types of PREJUICIOS are
broken.
DENNIS comes for making exercise
Iso 100 f4 1/60
20/3/13 16:51
Highlights / shadows :
A touch to the sky for putting into the histogram, but not too much.
Post processing : ACR
+ photoshop CS 5 + silver efex pro
Additional comments : I would calificate him as the perfect
mancunian; AMABLE, with sense of humor
and polite. All he said was thanks many times, great man.
ANNE lives
close to the park, crosses it everyday. Anne is the only person that i knew
before this work.

Highlights / shadows :
All ok in this case.
Post processing : ACR + photoshop CS 5 + silver efex pro
Additional
comments : Perhaps her hair is confused with the background, this is one of my mistakes in this series. I
said thanks to her because she was on a hurry and she had the patiente of
stopping 5 minutes for me.
Soon you will be able to see the book.
