Failed Bown Experiment
I read that the late Jane Bown shot her photographs at a constant one sixtieth of a second at 2.8 and never used anything but a secondhand OM1. Well, I have an OM1 and so I thought I would give it a go. I imagined I would end up with a shot that made me think of her iconic capture of Samuel Beckett--well I can dream can't I. So on one walk around downtown I took a few street portraits. Most of them were well over exposed, but a couple of them were reasonable enough that I could post them without, hopefully, attraction a tsunami of derision.
I saw this bloke sitting on some steps near a parking lot. He had two dogs, the one you can see and another much smaller one. The dogs were too spirited to stay still. As for the Bown touch, I shall go back to using a light meter and compose individually.
