28 damn definitions of love. Why?
I think that this picture is one of the best definitions of love.

What motivated me to make this photo was the coupple. I went to a party on the 22nd
with my friend Sean and I was just scoping the party for something to shoot.
I saw this coupple standing by themselves in a corner flirting. I pretended to talk with some people
near them while I took this shot. They didnt notice me so i got 3 or 4 shots of them flirting. This
one came out the best. Why? Because its real. Its pure. Its true. It captured their moment.

Exposure information:
Camera: Minolta x-700
Lens: Minolta 50mm 1.4
Shutter Speed: 1/60sec
f/stop:1.4
ISO: 400
Film: Kodak BW400CN

Developed printed and scaned at local Walgreens

I chose a f/stop of 1.4 first off because the lighting situation wasnt the
greatest and second because i wanted a very shallow depth of field to
isolate the subjects in their moment. I chose a shutter speed of 1/60sec
because I didnt want to go to 1/30sec and risk their being a blur but I
still wanted there to be enough shot to make the photo.

ONLY P.S. WAS RESIZE.

This is one of my personal fav's.

Enjoy!

this is really nice. i dunno about the green tone.. is that symbolic or just c-41 b&w? she's a gorgeous girl and the focus is right bang on. there's a little bit of movement from the low shutter but it suits and accentuates the nice grain. no doubt you've worked out how well that 400cn stuff pushes and its sweet latitude... you can be about 3 stops out before it starts to complain. good luck with the competition, its so good to see a good entry... there's been some ordinary stuff so far...
