Wow !! A COMMENT at last !! I never get any 'comments' on this site -- I was thinking it was a waste of time posting ! In reply : the LENS used is WRONG somehow in the details -- it was my 180mm f4 CFi Sonnar T* NOT the 80mm so I was further away than 3 meters.
Regarding COLOUR -- it was on E6 transparency film which I do NOT process myself so take it to a lab. I DO process a lot of my C41 to 'Exhibition Size' 16x12 inches but for small 6x4" I take films to a lab on our town main street where they do an excellent job with colour balance and C41 negative quality. In Philippines, Cebu Images Camera Club friends use labs in Cebu City -- I had some E6 done once many years ago but their C41 quality is not so good !
Nice candid (nice colors as well- its subtlety dark). For me, I am starting to think that street photography could be more natural with a longer lens. Everyone says 35mm or 50mm. I only own two lenses and once you compute the crop factor I basically am shooting with a 50mm and a 135mm (the lenses are a 35mm and a 100mm on a 1.6x sensor). I keep wondering what it would be like shooting the streets with something between 70-90mm. You were standing - I’m guessing - about three meters from the subjects in this shot?
I do have a second question for you here, Pete. You shot color film, do you process your own film? Or do you send out? I’m actually thinking of buying a film camera (M7) and I see a lot of write ups on processing B&W but nothing on color. I am fine if it were just B&W but if I ever picked up a roll of Color I worry I would not be able to process it here in the Philippines (especially in the remote part where I live).
