I spotted him from a distance and, seeing the golden light reflecting off him and the Bajan clouds behind him, literally chased him down the beach as he walked.
Never once did he ask me what the hell I was doing.

A glorious Bajan sunset provided 100% of the lighting in this scene.
In contrast, today it’s cold, dark, and rainy here in Toronto… 😦

It’s what he was doing.
It’s what I was doing when I found him.
This was taken during the dying moments of a beautiful day.

This place will be quiet for a while.
See you in a few weeks.

Testing out the Pentax 35mm f/3.5.
Another available light portrait. The cold weather has kept me indoors… the light is very poor unless I photograph near a window.

Day 2 with the Pentax 645D.
A nice little beam of sunlight provided the illumination for this image.
The previous Purple Hat Portrait, which has a very different vibe, may be found here.
Yesterday, I posted a test shot taken with the new gear. However, I’m more interested in portraits than in test shots, so I’m curious to find out what people think of the overall rendering in this portrait.
