Here is a shot of fellow Cafe member Dao Dang, when we stopped for lunch in a small countryside diner.

Look how happy he looks!! Must be the new 'X'!! Gale and I were fortunate to enjoy a day shooting with him earlier this year. You are right---he is a gentleman!

would love to meet him personally, indeed he has been a real gentleman in all of my exchanges with him through this site. Great image!

Dao has a great smile and it's great to hear that the two of you had a chance to have lunch together.

The pleasure was also mine, meeting with such fine fellow Cafe member Frits. Thanks for a great day, Frits!

Still struggle with the 'X' focus. The focus seemed to fall somewhere on the left shoulder even if I focus on the left eye and ear

Hold on ... I know this guy ...

I even talk to him from time to time ...

I think both Frits and Dao are fantastic guys ...

Dao is a fine gentleman and I have enjoyed our interchange here at the Cafe. Thanks for giving us a look at his smiling face Frits. I will say I like his image of you better than yours of him. Again his talent shows through.

Quite agree Gordon:biggrin:
Mine was during lunch with my Ai 50mm, in his face! Absolutely not the lens for the situation, if you want a good portrait. But as an improvision it still makes me smile and somehow illustrates the good natured guy Dao is
. BTW, I got a better portrait of him on this thread: https://www.nikoncafe.com/vforums/showthread.php?t=59504
