The old grocery store

Sony 24mm 1.4 GM

It was a great pleasure to visit this happy merchant in his grocery store.

Not much light light inside this store, so I used the largest aperture 1.4 and speeded up the ISO to 1250, I used the build-in leveler, because of the 24mm wide angle Lens, which can fool you , so using the leveler are a very good.

I like to take portraits fast, because you can catch the person unguarded in the best natural way possible, so I measured the light by pointing the camera down at the table and then did a very fast composition and took the photo, often you only get one chance to catch a short moment of a casual relaxed person. Either the person are positive or negative about you take photos, most often the persons relaxing attitude vanish fast. So most often I take a photo and ask afterwards if it is ok ! In this photo I do not even think that he is aware I took a photo of him in the photo, because he do not know which focal length I use, I mimicked as if I took a photo of the lamp/shelf.
