I think #9 is a nice touch, but #5 is a standout, great collection from the day, I always like to see people’s different interpretations

Beautiful images Basia, No9 is awesome, but I’d have to agree with John, No5 is absolutely gorgeous – a real stand out.
Basia McAuley replied
Thank you so very much Cathy!
Wendy Slee
me too…..get very shy about pointing my camera at strangers…..still one hurdle to overcome for me! You did a fab job, and did I spy your beautiful little girl in there on the street edge? (smiles)
Basia McAuley replied
Yes,, my little girl’s there! it was a candid though!, as soon as she saw the camera she ran away!!!

Great piece of photo journalism, hope you are selling it on Photographers Direct. If you like to know more about it, send me a bubble.
Basia McAuley replied
Hi, Thanks for your comments,, I’ve never really looked into selling my work as stock photos,, I might look into it.
C J Hummel - ...
I should add, I am not plugging this photo agency, nor is it in conflict what RB is doing.
Thought I just bring another sales outlet to your attention, as that they are always publication who are looking for images like this and pay anything from $100 plus to $ thousands. The agency only takes 20%, on every sale and copyright remains yours. That is reasonable, no quantity restraint.
Basia McAuley replied
Thanks for the info once again! It does sound inviting.
Karen Cook
Mmm… numbers 8, 9 and 10 are my faves. Great job! Street photography is definitely not easy :o)
Steve Chapple
What a killer set of images. You want to start about setting up a series of dedicated street images in a book form. Each shot you show tells a story. What a talent!
SHAZZ
Wow Basia….great set. Love #9
myoriginalsin
Amazing work Basia. Your photos always look so professional :)
MDossat
Wow, these are great. Awesome.
MelanieSpeaks
Fantastic series of images…
Angela Stewart
Incredible set of images Basia! I was a complete wuss and stayed home under my air-conditioner, lol.
Basia McAuley replied
Thanks Angela! Yeah,, it was HOT! But I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity!.. and I bribed the kids with ice-cream!
Belinda "Billy...
The fact that you got such great photographs from the worst parade I have ever witnessed is a testimate to your great “eye”. B
Basia McAuley replied
Thanks! It was pretty dull but the kids loved it and I guess that was most important! I wish I bumped into you there!
Belinda "Billy...
i HAD just got out of hospital and should have been at home in bed. You wouldn’t have wanted to see me there….not myself lately. did you hear I got into SHE in dandenong. I hope you can come perhaps on the night. Have you also seen the Mornington Rotary show yet? I have five pieces in there in a printmaking section I did. Good to talk to you again. Oh I was down at the Frankston Pier today, gosh it multi-cultural now, I wished I had my lenses down there and phtographed the kids jumping off the pier. Now there is a part of Australia day that we as kids could never imagine .
Craig Shadbolt
Wow – amazing detail in your shots and great captures! Always thought about doing some candid stuff but not sure I’ve got the eye for it. Plus I worry about being busted taking someone’s photo!
Basia McAuley replied
I feel that way too! I hate the thought of someone having a go at me for taking their photo! I can usually be pretty sneaky + I think girls can get away with it quicker,, but still,, I find it uncomfortable but still go ahead and shoot!
TickerGirl
