Great, spot the odd one out!

Ana said 606 days ago:

Oh my gosh, this one is good. The adults on electronics, and the little girl reading the paper.
I LOVE IT!

RichardFord said 606 days ago:

Thanks Ana. I have a hard time walking about calmly anymore. I have trained myself so much to be vigilant that I can't help but spot stuff. That doesn't always mean that you can get a good photo - but in this case it unfolded right in front of me. I am sure that no one else in the carriage saw, acknowledged or noticed (commuters aren't a happy bunch).

But I nearly fell off my seat. First because of how the girl was holding the paper and trying to flap it about like my old man did. Then I noticed the bevy of electro devices used by everyone around her.

And since my Ricoh GRD3 is always around my neck - even when I have another camera in hand for the real shooting - grabbing this was, well, child's play. Shooting fish in a barrel.. ;-)

I like the fact the woman is on a Mac and the girl has her face in the news paper

Instant shot i guess. Difficult light conditions. Funny one .Maybe it's a game : They mixed their occupation objects ? Find who should have the newspaper, computer, phone , ...?

RichardFord said 605 days ago:

@ Jeff

Yeah light was bad. I usually take the JPG's from the GRD3 as I love the tone they have. But for this one I had to process to RAW to try and pull things in a bit.

She's probably reading the comic strips..
