Leaving a wedding held in South Queensferry, Scotland, I noticed one of the guests leaning against a light pole, overlooking the Firth of Forth and its famous railroad bridge. The pose looked like a cross between Cary Grant and Pierce Brosnan in a scene from a vintage black and white movie. He was also one of the few people in the group not wearing a kilt (note: which the photographer was at the time). It was late afternoon and the sky was…well, as they say in Scotland…dull.
Shot with my Canon Rebel XTi at f8 and 1/125th, 200 ISO. Converted to B&W with PSE7.
