meet Abdullah.

while quite mischievious otherwise, he was very polite and sober at the time this photo was taken.

i was, after a long time, using my 70-200 lens, which filled the frame quite nicely. i stopped the lens down to f/5.6 to ensure adequate sharpness and the shutter was set at 1/125 :)

the AUTO ISO feature of my camera worked quite nicely and suggested an ISO rating of 3600 :) which looks quite nice with a very subtle grain :)

i shot it in monochrome and am presenting it here without any fancy stuff :)

thanks for viewing, let's see what you think of this one :)

p.s. the lengthy title is inspired by the upcoming Brad Pitt movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, due to release in December 2008.

Nice job overall here Muhammad. Good clean shot, sharp and with excellent DOF and bokeh. Nicely off-centred composition. The wristwatch is a bit of a bother to me, but overall - lovely work.

Salam Aleikom Muhammad,

been busy with school work, and family stuff also..

I'm always amazed with your b&w shots, they're just brilliant I have to say.. again a perfect portrait mashallah!
