Awesome!! The effects and colour tones are fab!! Everybody’s rushing by and nobody’s listening to this poor guy’s music :D
Karen Cook

Yep, I was the only one who was interested :o) I stood there for ages Ellen… took quite a few photos, but the music was great ~ he is standing in a walkway (tunnel) so the acoustics were great! Glad you like it. x

Great shot Karen. Love the tones – pardon the pun! You were lucky to get this shot. When I was at Southbank last week a guy was setting up for some sort of juggling act. He posed for me as soon as he saw my camera out (I didn’t take the shot as I hate posed shots like that) and while he was setting up I took photos of the surrounding area. All of a sudden, he told me to see his agent if I wanted to take photos and could I please move on. I think he was even more upset when I told him I hadn’t taken any photos of him. Quite put me off the street performers at Southbank and I moved on to the art gallery!
Karen Cook replied

Yeah they get quite cheeky Annie! I’m glad you ignored him and didn’t give him the satisfaction of taking his photo :o) Most of the street performers I’ve watched have been quite happy for me to throw a few coins into their hat and take their photo, but the ones I usually pick aren’t the ones who “put on an act” so to speak… I usually pick the more genuine musos who are happy souls!! This guy was lost in his music and I doubt he even noticed me set up with my tripod, given the amount of other people passing by!!!

Very very cool! Looks awesome Karen – Nicely done.
Karen Cook replied

Cheers for that!! :o)
Basia McAuley

This is one awesome capture!!! Not your usual style but I really love it! It just says so much,, are you branching out?!!
Karen Cook replied

Thanks heaps Basia!!! I actually took this about a year ago, but for some reason never posted it… I just rediscovered it the other day. I have a heap of stuff other than flowers that I’ve taken, so decided I should start to put some up :o)

Sue Wotton

Wow, I love this! They tell me that photography is as much about seeing as it is about light and equipment and you certainly see differently. Extraordinary!

Denis Dalby

A wonderfully ‘moving’ photo. Was the sax that bad that they were running away? Greta shot and treatment.
Karen Cook replied

Thanks Denis! In fact he was so good that there were quite a few people milling about. I think it was sheer luck that I snapped it at the exact moment there was a break in the traffic :o)
