Checker Cafe
Gays Arcade (off Adelaide Arcade), Adelaide Sth Aust.
Taken from the 1st floor balcony, the camera was held against a column to stop camera shake (otherwise known as Jim-shake) 1/25 sec f8, 100mm focal length.
Tried the slower shutter speed to allow some movement of the people while attempting to keep the floor patterns “crisp”.
Desaturated and selected colour applied.
Checker Cafe belongs to the following groups:
Australian Contemporary Photography, Selective Coloring, Shameless Self-Promotion, South Australian Artists and Street Photography and Photojournalism Available for sale asGreeting Cards and Laminated Prints
