Candid portraits / Canon FT

There's nothing like a nice candid portrait one when people know you are shooting but will not pose for you. This can only take place after some engagement with the subject, that is making the subject comfortable by having a conversation. 

Of course in looking at the date of these photos I must wonder what happened to these people. Photography in it's ability to freeze a moment in time is rather uncanny.

The portrait of the old fisherman making "nasse" or traps was originally shot on Agfachrome but the colors faded so i converted it to back and white while the shot of the young lady was shot on Plus X. The lens was the Canon 50 mm F 1.4 FL, a superb optic.
