'Mad Max' movie extra

Well not really,but he looked like something out of 'Mad Max'.

I used my canon 70-200 L F 2.8 lens for these photos,I bought this lens

for portrait/people photography,I have'nt had a chance to use it for that task.

The first pic,i feel is the best,i zoomed out to 200.and really filled the frame F 4.5 speed 400,iso 400,I adjusted focus point of camera,focused on his left eye,slighty moved camera to left,and then took the shot.

I wanted to try and capture that mean,nasty,punchy biker look.

Thanks for looking,look forward to some comments,and feed back.

thanks C

The close up is a beauty Chris, you have really captured that "don't mess with me" look in his eyes.

Cheers

Great portraits Chris. I imagine he'd have a few yarns to tell

I'm sure he's blocked a few toilets in his time.

re 'Mad Max' extra

Thanks for the comments,Yes Adam-stories as colourful as he looks,most

most sound unbelievable,but i believe most of them,as no body could make them up!

Certainly an interesting character,a very good artist and mechanic.

I think he should audition for a role in 'Underbelly' or similar.

Hopefully my next portrait episode will be a bit easier on the eye.

It was a good to test the lens for the purpose i bought it for,so

i am thankfull i got to test it on a unusual subject.
