This is another one shot on the gone but not forgotten Olympus E-P2. I was buying coffee in the Mercado Central which is pretty much a locals only place and this lady was buying her supply as well. She saw I had the camera and asked me to take a picture of her. So I obliged her and this is the end result. At the time I only had the 17mm and the 14-42 kit lens. I don’t do zoom lenses so the 17mm was on the camera. Sadly, low light performer isn’t what I would call the 17mm 2.8. In addition the back light of the sun behind her messed with the cameras light meter so it read it wrong and considering I was shooting in full auto at the time (who reads manuals?!) the image is less than perfect. With all that going on I had to crop Big Daddy out of the frame since he was standing to her left and the 17mm being a wide lens put him into the picture as well.
Her picture is nice. She has a very pleasant smile. She probably thougth you were someone that might show the world her picture. I like it. I like the picture.
I don’t know about all that. She just wanted her picture taken and I was the only gringo around that could understand her since I was the designated translator for coffee purchases. Only reason I was really there.
