I had a short job today talking to (well photographing), a ninety year old local menswear store proprietor, Don Pitt. Managing the store for 74 years, mr Pitt is still as sharp as the pins he uses when altering a suit.
While Duncan our journalist interviewed him, I did my usual “over the shoulder” portraits, which often end up being the ones we use. Quite the story teller, mr Pitt was fully aware I was snapping silently away (can you “snap” silently?).
Happy 90th mr Pitt!
Tech stuff; EM1 mk2 or G9 with 25 and 45mm Oly lenses wide open at f1.8. I will say it again, what I love about this system is you can use them wide open and get just enough smooth blur for a decent portrait without loosing the context. I thought the silent shutters had some banding issues under these lights, but in processing they seemed a lot less obvious.
