Nothing to see

by GIULIO57

I took this picture a few y.a. while waiting for my train. This smart Lady caught my attention for her gestures and posing. Nothing to see is the title because that situation was funny. Anyway all above well suited to a BW conversion, IMHO.Hand-held camera PENTAX K-1000 with my usual and fav PENTAX Zoom lens 40-80mm on 80mm. F 5,6; 1/200s. Kodak BW film T-Max 100 ISO processed standard in dark-room and then printed on ILFORD paper RC multigrade IV. Original film-frame has been scanned on EPSON Perfection 3200 and then edited in TOPAZ BW, Platinum Collection, Warm tone Smooth. Date: June 22th,2014. Place: a railway station in the south of Tuscany-Italy.

The several "stripes" (in dress, purse, bench, floor, shoes) caught and held my attention. Nice to see one of the few but hardy souls still using film. I miss my 1970's darkroom.

An eye catching image. The competing patterns of her dress, shoes and bag all work very well.

Best regards
Inspiration is rarer than a plate glass camera.....

But I don't think she is made for such a short skirt!

I do have the whole and she was very glad her pictures taken. My wife was there waiting for train with me and it was embarassing for me to take these pictures because that lady was cunning.....A lot of gestures (she was using handy phone) and a lot of movements with "opened-closed legs". I "used" my eyes when my wife looked at different places...!!! When snapping pictures I "tried" to test my camera.....but at the end my wife understood laughing at me and at that situation comedy.....I still have not understood if Lady was there for a train or for "end-users" (please try to understand beyond my words)......For reasons above I suppose it is not correct to show her face.... By the way: other peoples began taking pictures using their phones......Crazy!!!! it was a show.....All us afraid Lady could become angry.....
