Re: busker

Good on you Pepsi! I love the street photography thang, and he looks like he would be happy to bongo away for you for a couple of bob... As you have asked for a critique, then closer and reduce the distracting background by PP or shallower DoF, little higher shutter speed but principle point is you had the nerve and you will again..

Re: busker

You'll be surprised what people will do for you if you ask nicely... one of my lines is

"You have amazing character, I'd love to photograph you, would you mind"

Thank you BC! I will have a go with your suggestion later! I was really pleased I did it, but just before I came upon him, an old man walked passed with a very interesting face, pure white fluffy beard and lines that told a thousand story's, but I was too chicken to ask him if I can take his picture Need to practice that one I think!

I might pinch that line, but I think I need to pluck up more courage!

...if you said that to me I'd know you meant, 'excuse me, you look like some weird looking nutter on the street who has seen better days'! which is probably true in my case anyway, especially after a night on the Jack Daniels...
