Re: More Street Photos

I like the young lady with the camera. Nice sun reflection in her glasses. Intense expression and she sems to be very pretty. Would love to have seen her eyes. The b/g is nice without any distractions.
Would love to know why she has string tied around her wrist

The last shot stirs the imagination. Whatever she did he looks quite shocked

Re: More Street Photos

Another nice collection, George. Some observations: the background in the first one looks quite pastel in colour. Did you do much processing of this image?

In the last image, I'd really like to know what was going on - it's most curious!

Hi Pops,

I have no idea what is this string around the young girl's wrist. I suppose some youngster fashion thing. The background is without distractions just by luck only, as in the streets of Athens there are millions of people every day.
In the last shot the skinny guy did for sure something to the other guy, but I don't know what as I snap that photo with 9.2X zoom approximately.

The background indeed looks quite pastel in color. Though the color of the building is indeed like that and the pastel effect is visible mostly when the building is hit by the sun from some corner which also creates some visible haze in the atmosphere, as done in that photo.

No I haven't post-processed any image. I have only downsized them.

In the last image as I wrote to Pops, the skinny guy obviously did something and the other guy grabbed him and wouldn't let him go for around 5 minutes that I was observing them. I was far enough and shot the scene with approximately 9.2X zoom and I don't know what exactly happened.
I assume though from knowing the usual situations that the skinny guy was asking for some money as it looks to me like a drug addict or similar.
Then after all some people jump out from a local fast food and separated them.

Re: More Street Photos

Wonderful record and clarity George.

One that makes me smile is the child with a dummy in his mouth and his crash helmet on, on a cycle of some description. It looks as though it might only have two wheels, but may be there are stabilisers out of the picture.

It also gives me the impression that is is mechnically powered, but I can't believe a baby with a dummy would be in charge of such a vehicle. So tell me George, what sort of a vehicle is it?

Like others the last picture gets me wondering, however, like Pops, I would have said that the person in the apricot cardigan was female.

... ... ...but then, I thought that the person with the paper umbrellas in the other thread was a female also. Perhaps I should get my eyes tested.

Hi Audrey,

The little guy with the helmet is on a bicycle that his father is riding. His father has attached a bicycle baby seat in the bicycle, so the father rides the bike and the little one enjoys the ride
You cannot see it in the photo but the bicycle is being held by the father as they stopped and observe a street concert.

In the last photo these are both guys. Your eyes are fine. Its todays life style that sometimes all of us have hard time to distinguish men from women

Though in that picture, this guys hair are like that "curly" and not very short cut.

Re: More Street Photos

Of course George. We have these bikes in Clumber Park, just about 2 miles from where I live. I had never thought to photograph them, I am so used to seeing them. The funny thing is, from the angle you shot the pic, I did not recognise it as being one of them.

Eehhh...Audrey,

That is the reason I used this angle to photograph the bike
so it will create questions and trigger imagination, just becuse it looks that a very small kid is riding a normal bike
Though I wouldn't photograph just the bike only if the kid wasn't on it.

Re: More Street Photos

nice work as always George, though that last one is somewhat disturbing, very thought provoking though.

Look forward to the next set!

Re: More Street Photos

Another great set of candids George, I must say I am impressed with the quality of the panasonic, I use a Fuji and it does tend to produce soft images, I will have to seriously consider a panasonic for my next all in one bridge camera

Ben,

the last photo is a street scene that all of us have seen similar at sometime.
I don't know what exactly you mean by "disturbing" or "thought provoking".
I assume that you mean of how the photo looks itself with the situation between these two guys.

The next series of photos might probably be in the next few days, but if not for sure after Easter

Tinka,

The Panasonic LEICA lens is a sharp lens, though these photos look sharper as they have been downsized to 800x600. The full size photos are softer of course, but in comparison with other cameras' full size photos, indeed they are sharper even at full size.
Like every other camera brand, Panasonic has its good and not so good models too.
