My entry for @daveks B&W Photo Contest ~ Candid Photography
Now this is one of those rare images that I think actually look better in color. But I'm submitting it to this challenge to see what you guys think 🤔...
This candid shot was taken last Sunday at 13th annual The Jazz Age Lawn Party. I would have loved to been closer but I wasn't going to pay about $75 to get closer for a few hours.
But I will say I plan on attending next year as there was a great vibe in the air as well as a lot of people that put in tons of effort in their outfits.
Check out this video I searched for you guys to get an idea of what I'm talking about...

!STOP!Nice pic! I think the black and white picture is more insistent, somehow more real. In any case, you have wonderfully captured the essence of women in their costumes.
Thanks for your thoughts! It helps me know what people like to see.

BW it gives it an older time look.
What? 1000 ISO then realized due to shutter speed.
I was in heaven today at the Sunken Gardens here and learned real fast what happens with the higher shutter speeds. Everytime I shoot I learn so much, even looking at your work teaches me.
Thanks for your take!
In terms of shutter speed I was using a long lens and as a rule of thumb the shutter speed should be 1 / focal length. To be safe I usually double it. Since I was at 200mm I chose to use 1/500th of a second.
Since I was using a relatively fast shutter speed (and since they were in the shade) I had to use a higher ISO.
Most modern / "good" cameras perform well when using high ISO's.
Hope this makes sense!
Sunken Gardens sounds exotic! Be sure to share some pics and thanks for the kind words. If I can ever help you out with photo related things - lemme know!
I would love to know what they are talking about. :)
Ha! Good point. They were probably talking about how hot it was!
