Open Shade II

Coffee Shop Window

Back in Kalinzi again, I took some new folks to the little coffee shop that had provided me with some laughs a few weeks ago. When I got back to the roasting fire I noticed a face in the window basked in the open shade of which I'm so fond. I raised my camera and waited for some foreground smoke to clear. The guy raised his cup to his face to take a last sip and I snapped away. He held it there far longer than it would take to drink. I realized he was pretending for the camera. What a ham!

The extra time gave me a chance to shoot a few frames and to play with the composition a bit. I moved to the right so the light within the coffee shop was on either side of his head. I'm not totally sure the composition works but I'm sharing it anyway as another example of good open shade.

Make pictures.
