Portrait of my dad

Love how tight the composition is.

@Huss Thank you. I got lucky with this one. He had no idea that I was planning
to take his picture. He was sitting across the table from me, and I had the camera on the table while I
was pretending to clean it. I took an incident reading before he sat down and set the exposure. He was
just sitting there talking when I saw this, so I raised the camera, focused and grabbed the shot before he
realized what was happening. He never would have cooperated willingly. My dad was notorious for
extending his middle finger whenever a camera was pointed at him, although that never stopped me from
pressing the shutter release.

Fine shot and a great memory!

Great portrait, very nicely done.

@Zathras That is precisely the same process I often have to employ to get portraits of family members. Excellent capture!

Lovely portrasit, a keepsake.

@tnp651Thank you, This is one of my favorite pictures of him that I have.
