p.1 #1 · Grandpa's Rare Smile (C+C Welcome)

This is a picture of my Grandpa from our most recent family get together. He is not big on smiling, but visiting with my aunt's dog put him in a good mood.

026 Grandpa's Rare Smile by Better Image, on Flickr

Nikon D600
Sigma 50mm 1.4
1/50 sec
f3.2
ISO 1250

Post processing in LR4. Added grain, vignette, and converted to B&W. I accidentally over exposed, so went with the highkey oldies look. Does it work? I know the background is rather cluttered.

Thanks!

I like it.
Is it technically great? No but it makes me feel happy and that trumps all for me.
