This photo is a bit off my normal beat but I went to the funeral of a friend’s mum recently.
The light falling on this lady was striking but lasted but a minute or two.
Taking the photo without being disruptive was essential.
I have a Fuji X100, which is just about perfect for the times when you either don’t have a camera with you and there’s a great photo staring you in the face, or it’s best not to be obtrusive.
f2.8, 1/640th sec, ISO 800
Wonderful photo, but as you alluded to, one has to be very sensitive taking photos in such circumstances
