People & Portraits

Taken in Durban, South Africa with the Nikon D810 and 50mm Nikkor f1.4 lens. We were walking along the pier when this guy approached me and I thought here goes the camera, lens, money and watch. However, thankfully he just said, “why don’t you take a picture of me”. Needless to say I clicked away and he was happy to see the images on the camera screen.

Strangely enough we were mugged about an hour later when we were waiting to cross the road at a set of traffic lights; but that’s another story and I still have the camera and lens.
