I took this in 2007 through the windshield of my car while waiting for a traffic light.

Strong image, it looks like he's having a rough time.
I'm guessing 5D2 and high pass filter in post, what lens and f/ were you using?

[Steve Paxton]

This is an old one from 2007 - I used a a regular 5D set at f/4 and 1/100 sec zoomed in at 105mm.

Processing was quick and dirty using these LR presets (http://fstopspot.com/main/free-resources-for-photographers/free-lightroom-presets-for-street-urban-portrait-photography/). I do use a high pass filter process for the majority of my urban portraits (just not here).

Very poignant image. Five years on the situation is much worse.

Hello Paul! I am glad you jumped in.

I am hoping to find some time to do more urban portrait photography.
