October 2025 - Lovers by Filosofi’s window
About the Image(s)
Filosofi is a caf?© in BlokM Mall. A small and old house, now a caf?© with walls decorated with paintings and photographs. Jakarta people gather here to meet friends, discuss current events or business, and for lovers to enjoy a coffee when out on a walk on a Sunday morning. The coffee is good and people are friendly. I was walking by the caf?©, saw their moment, and found it captivating. The image was captured through glass, and as you can see has artifacts from the glass and reflections. I used a Sony 7rm3; Sony G-master 24-70mm; at f:8, 1/200; ISO 400

Cisco, you have caught a lovely intimate photo of this couple. Well done. The reflection in the window doesn't bother me .. it is a street photo and the subject and story, in the moment, are more important than quality of the image.
I suspect the camera focused on the window frame and the lady's shoulder, and if so, and I am a little surprised the man was not in focus as well considering the depth of field with the lens and camera settings you used.
A great photo! Posted: 10/09/2025 23:35:51

So sweet image, and the color adds to the harmony. only if you had tried another crop to use the window frame. Posted: 10/16/2025 15:05:26
