London Tourists

They certainly look awe struck witht he sights,
They are so clear that they almost appear to of been stuck on to the background. I just love this shot.

absolutely striking image!

LOL That so could have been me and my family. Our first visit to London was in 67. But maybe you do have a pic of us somewhere in your archives. Brilliant image David!

this is a superb image – a great capture – their expression is priceless.

That’s amazing – they look like they could be from different decades. This is the best picture I’ve seen here. And runs rings around anything digital.

Great image. When was it taken?

Brilliant capture!

What a stunning moment! Brilliant tones.

It look like a Robert Doisneau picture , congratulations !!!!

wonderful image

Brilliant capture David.

this is so amazing – mouths agape, style – brilliant moment captured!

Brilliant in everyway

Amazing shot.

Looks like their first day in the city, excellent.

Fantastic shot this is awesome

holy cow this picture is amazing! I love their expression, and at first I thought it was a dress up or some sort, until I read the blurb and said 1966! That is freakin amazing, keep it up mate!

Excellent job. I strive to take photos like this and you work is truly inspirational.

Absolutely terrific to see this one again, David!
Thanks for sharing your unique images on RedBubble.

Superb 3D feel – Love, love, love it!!

Fantastic image David ….. a snapshot in time !!

Brilliant capture…wonderful moment in time!

It did, didn’t it. Fantastic.

This is an absolutely amazing shot. Art photograhy and history, psychology and philosophy all combined in one winning composition. Remarkable and memorable.

everything above and more.. this is one of those moments you occasionally see, rarely will you get the chance to put it on film.. you nailed this one.. cheers!

I was missing this one and all the rest of your great photos. Needless to say i love it to bits :)

This is absolutely wonderful. The DOF and their faces are just great. Love it

really good like it work well done

Just wonderful….classic black and white film tones that digital just cant touch.

Look at those gaping mouths, this is such a priceless capture. Looks like the country has come to the city. Wonderful, wonderful work. The tones are perfect and the dof is incredible.

AMAZING SHOT!

Wow! This is a true classic, I am lost for words.

fantastic!

My mouth has dropped in awe also – an amazing example of street photography!

Awesome image…. they look like they are singing along to an unheard song….

This is a splendid b & w photo, amazing that you have kept it all these years

LOL, love their expressions. They must have been having a good time :)

Bravo!!! Great picture!

Superb capture David. Has nothing to do with luck, talent is at work here. :)

I don’t know about them being in awe…i am! Absolutely brilliant!

A great since of awe.

marvelous

What an exceptional photograph David.

Street photography at it’s best. The wonderful thing about B&W film, it almost always comes out, at least an image that you can work on.

Part of a really interesting series of photographs of people from another era. Such a pity that all those other images were lost in a fire.

how lucky was that? such a clever capture

fantastic work

I cannot say more or less than what has already been said…especially iCandors remark…

This is an amazing shot… really wonderful! Sorry it got a late start in the competition but it might go straight to the top.. i would not be surprised. Anyhow, congratulations on a great capture!

Really fantastic shot.
Almost makes me wanna get out my old RB67 and shoot a few rolls.

I was 9 when you took this shot, the boy could be me. I dont know how I found your page, but I am very pleased I did. I intend to study your folio at length.

sooooooo good!

Fabulous shot, the DOF, the tones and their faces…..! You’re whole portfolio is amazing!

A great story beautifully captured!

TRULY AMAZING CAPTURE,,,,,,,,,,,,COULD NOT POSE FOR THIS IF YOU TRIED

Pryere, mentioned you in his recent interview on RB and I quite understand his admiration for your work! This is a wonderful photograph David! I’m so pleased Pryere directed us here!S

Excellent shot

A standout image. You have a fantastic portfolio!

This IS amazing. They look awestruck – think exposure through television & print media would have destroyed this emotion by now. I was 12 in 1969 and it is interesting to travel back in time and be reminded of how it all looked.

And of course, 10 in 1967 – correction.

breathtaking x

Wow!

this is an astonishing and deeply moving photograph. inspiring in every sense of the world.

This is sooo interesting! the expression is so priceless. Congrats!

Hey CONGRATULATIONS making it on the Home Page i just love this image and it’s still one of my all time favorites…..well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :0))))

Great shot, love the expressions on their faces! Congrats on homepage feature!

This is a truly amazing and priceless capture…their expressions say it all…YOur BW work is truly special

I love it so much I want to marry it….seriously….the expressions and the crispness…well done on home page…....

awesome shot

well deserved featured on the home page !

fantastic shot…what a capture

Timeless….. what all great photographs are made of….. and brings back some mmeories of for what for me are memorable times in my own childhood.

Fabulous frame…. Is this a recent print from the original neg with modern darkroom pp I as myself…. If not this photo has sttod the test of time remarkably well thus far.

Congrats of the Front Page feature – rightly so….

No words, amazing B&W, congratulations, excellent work!!!!

When I first looked at the photo, I thought they were not real, like wax figures placed on the sidewalk. Then the more I looked, the more it became real, and then I noticed they are all looking at something different! This is an amazing photo!!!
I like the way you blurred the background out, it makes them look like the were plopped there in place.
Fantastic!!

Truly fabulous – i plan to replicate the young girls jacket – awesome image!

WOW. what an awesome piece of work. The expressions on thier faces are priceless. Glad you had that last frame left. :)

WOW..this should go in the newyork times…it is simply breathtaking it is amazing that the picture quality is that good back then…I am in aww of this photo!!! Hats off to you..!!

this has so much emotion and is taken so well, the awe and wonderment, but just the whole composition is fantastic.

Oh WOW! one of the best B&W/People images I’ve seen so far….
not sure what to say, just amazing!
well done!

The sharpness and clarity is amazing. The look of awe is priceless. Amazing image.

this is so real I love it…......... the 3 candid expressions tell a story—love the rawness. and you made this piece look so simple – which it is not. good job love

I love the reaction of all the three people and how the sidelocks look :)

I absolutely love this shot! It’s wonderful. One of the best on here – an instant favourite for me!

Great image!!! Instant fav!

David,,, Thanks for the reply…. Much as I had suspected re the processing but very surprising that you mention inkjet…. I know how amazing some of the top end printers are now but I suspected this might have been a process printer…..

The trouble I find with inkjets is permanence but as you mention if you have a HD Scan of the neg all the better – or Bob’s your Uncle!

I bought an Epson scanner a couple of years back which had an add on film scanner…. Great investment it was too… Only problem is there have been some 5000 miles between it and I for the past 5 years….. hopefully ;economy permiting’ we will be reuntited this coming year.

Best of Luck with the Exhibition and once again thanks for sharing a timeless piece with us.

Congratulations on being featured in the candid photography group…. another well deserved piece of recognition!

One of the best! The expressions are priceless!
Regards,
Catherine

absolutely STUNNING photograph!! LOVE it!!

phenomenal

It just never looses its innocent charm this shot no matter how many times I come across it on ‘the bubble’ – it pushes me to wonder whether it were indeed possible to still find such unabashed innocence in the heart of London as this?

Simply….................. A fantastic shot!

great candid….

Fantastic shot…

woooow :) i want to see to on what they are looking at ! :) genial!

one of my favorite of all time.

awesome shot… a fantastic moment… simple life. i love it

I love everything about this photo. To me it’s perfect and timeless, well done!

STUNNING

Perfect shot man…the expressions of wonderment draw you in:)

this is priceless! i had this expression on my face last winter, when we were there! :~) You really captured their wonderment and innocence well! Perfectly composed. Great light. Bravo!

This has evoked an emotion, simply breathtaking. Perfect.

Wow wow wow! Too awesome for words!

Wow! Great historic image. I’m sure tourists are still just as amazed by London as they were back then.

Priceless capture!

Great capture. I would’ve liked if there wasn’t so much dead space at the top of the frame but I understand you had just one frame left and you got off a great one! What do you use for transfering your images from film to digital?

a fantastic capture,well done.

fantastic shot ,pure amazement

I was thinking I should’ve just said ‘great shot’ and not mentioned the other stuff, so thanks for replying. I really like the image a lot! Oh, and thank you for the info about what you used to scan the image; I have so many prints/negatives I would love to have as digital files…but it takes so long.

Hey, I just looked at it again and it seems you must’ve re-scanned it? I don’t remember being able to see their hands before. Very nice!

lol…then i’m going crazy in my old age:-)

well i did that when i was a little younger but it may have had some effect, I suppose::)

my god.

Brilliant!

i dont think you can capture photos like this anymore. its just magical. i love it.

An amazing shot! I got a chill in my spine when I read you had “one frame” left. This is a classic for candid and street photography. A favorite for me!

Your collection of film street photography is extraordinary. A true artform. High-end digital is an expensive alternative and quality could be as a good as film, not really sure. But film certainly has it’s uniqueness in that it requires more skill perhaps, especially in processing.

you have an amzing way to treat light

wow this is amazing.

this like all your other work is brilliant. great in b&w, cheers

i feel like a slow old turtle . . . i’ve just discovered your images. this one first of all is magical. I’ve read all the comments here and found myself nodding my head . . . will enjoy wandering through the rest now. :)

ditto.stunning.

Wow. I love this. The look of awe on their faces and the tonality is wonderful. Thanks for sharing

outstanding,

Great capture! Is that 6×6 film? Excellent technique.

Thank you for sharing your inspiring work!

What a master of capturing the moment you are – all your work is amazing

A wide aperture … and film … and brave timing. A combination that’s hard to beat! Huge thanks for bringing these photos to us.

Fantastic street image, love the looks on their faces!!!

Its a nice street scene! Textures are fantastic and I love the Focus-Blur game!

i love the wonderment in their eyes!

brilliant!

So great, I love your work. And I feel I can learn from you!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Image
Well Done
Cheers
Rock

Beautiful innocence! This capture is so pure. The body language and colouration fantastic! This belongs in a gallery.

Wonderful b&w image.

Great image.

This would also be a wonderful addition to our group, All Street Portraiture & Photography.

i do not know how to say how an image can do what sometimes an image does…. captivate.. make you always stop breathing.. and make you cry with the fact that it is so beautiful .. lol. i am not exaggerating.. on this .. and what this says,, is .. hallelujah to me.. we have made again street photography an art all it itself..

Its like my mouth is equally as wide open as theirs just looking at youir photo which is timeless and absolutely one that any of us would be proud to have in our portfolio. Many thanks for sharing. Mike

Great image David, reminds me of works by Max Dupain
