Coffee time.

By jay_pegge
I was enjoying a coffee at Attingham Park this morning and was taken by the rim light on this gentleman a couple of tables away, I managed to get this candid shot. It's pretty much straight out of camera, just a little crop.

My kind of portrait…..natural light……cant beat it….

Which is why I’m a great fan of Jane Bown……a most amazing portrait photographer.

Superior candid taken in light to die for. Like the interaction between the subject and his cuppa ready to take a sip. Background perfectly out of focus and not distracting. Gets my GE. Tom

That's lovely light. One source behind him and one lighting both his face and the steam from his coffee.
